I hope he lasts longer than its predecessor !!!

Brief introduction
Actually, the device was not a new acquaintance for me, since I already had the previous model DMR-EX93C with 250GB hard drive. Unfortunately, the good piece after three years and two months of operation is exited. A repair would have been possible, but the cost of doing so enormous that they were out of proportion to a new device. Panasonic showed here to contact is not particularly responsive. What is certain is that at some point guarantee past, but three years and two months for a device that then cost 499.00 has no maturity. Unfortunately, there are such devices with this equipment only from Panasonic, so I did not have much choice.

To the device itself
In the operation has not changed the previous model, only in the equipment, but more on that later.
The installation of the device itself I found to be relatively easy because you will be guided step by step through the menu.
The tuning takes time in which one can well and like to do other things at home.
Once completed, you can view all programs, TV and radio in the channel list, but the order does not change. For this, one has to create so-called favorite lists. That's pretty quick and easy. Here you have the possibility to take only the stations in the favorites list is on the one puts real value. Within this list you can also assign the desired favorite order. But be careful. Absolutely ask before leaving the favorites list the parent station with OK on the remote control. If you forget just this one button and leave the list was all the work for nothing and you have to start over.
The other device settings are also quite easy. But here everyone has to make their own choices.
Departmental functions go pretty fast, unchanged from the predecessor.

Compared to its predecessor / DMR-EX 93C
The differences are relatively small. Pros and cons stay pretty much in balance, but should not go unmentioned.

BENEFITS
+ Somewhat lower power consumption
+ Bigger hard drive
+ Favorable price

Disadvantages
- No slot for SD card more
- No mini DV connector more
- Front panel no longer so high, only cheaper font imprint

I hope that this device lasts longer than its predecessor. As a precaution, I bought a two-year extended warranty for 27.99. For this price you get no device repaired.
Nevertheless, I hope that the unit runs smoothly.
