Have almost 10 years ago, my first DVD recorder of Panasonic (DMR-EH60) bought, where now the DVD drive began to shriek - after more than 2,000 burned DVD's now had a successor ago - and so I bought after extensive comparison with a Dealers in Vienna this unit by 480 EUR - Pickup in business. Equal first the "best" new feature: Now two programs can be recorded simultaneously in parallel - but that's it with the improvements; VPS function so saved some titles which airtime has been postponed. Now you have to consider sufficient time buffer at the start and end time - and thus comes the next downside: the title editing must be entered manually in order to nearly every recording, only rarely true the title automatically acquired with the film title match. While in the old device, it was possible to save 20 titles, this feature has been removed and now each title must be re-recorded, which for example with 50 episodes each is to tease in series. Each recording job is broken down into sections (chapters), which you do not want to leave it that the beginning or the end of / the desired film / documentary is made automatically right - sometimes the starting point is the middle of a chapter - but there is a good adjustment function and you can even set the 'right' sections. Burned I have no DVD, but have to buy before an external 1TB hard drive and there then outsource the recordings, where my search functions appear only weakly programmed manually. While the old DVD recorder sorting by title or date was still possible remains now only the by category - here I have not yet figured out if and how the category automatically assumed to be modified - for example if the start recording selected during the news was and the title of the leached contribution was then changed manually, the film continues to confront the category "News" when the possibility is a historical documentation - there is still a lot to learn and it is also to take note, that "modern" devices only suboptimal. With the advantage of the simultaneous recording of 2 programs one can at the start and end time to give, but comes at exactly over time successive programming the warning that the record is incomplete because either the will previous a bit curtailed by the launch of the new recording or The second recording is only started when the previous one is to bring even more to the end - and a third program can not be to programmed so that you have to decide - but thank God there at night reps, so you in this situation on the second or third broadcasting can evade. Annoying, I also think that can not be deleted "too short" chapters, they must first connect to a chapter to erase, then include short brightness variations that cause at the beginning or end of an unpleasant flash, also removable. Supplement 05.04.2015: With so many flatterers I found so far no indication that the electronic program guide is shown for only one day, you want to capture shots ahead for several days, going with a program guide and Start / End Time. Then it is just in the list of scheduled recordings "No title available", is taken over automatically anyway the name of the pre-program, as some titles sooner, later - to be sent or not. I'm almost inclined yet to bring a point deducted when, after the addition of 20 minutes and delayed broadcast of the movie just ends with the beginning of the credits - to annoy -and future 30 minutes adding. The keyword recording seems too stuck in its infancy, I just could not in use, as the meeting-un-importance of keyword results in a too large dispersion. Supplement 14.05.2015: That's it: a point deduction, because USB 3.0 hard drives are obviously incompatible. While all is that you can outsource his recordings on USB hard disk, there is no list of noncompliant devices. The manual frozzelt one with the note: "Please use a compatible USB-HDD" and refers to the overall support site of Panasonic, where I then, however, found no hard drives. In Hifi-Forum.de there is a user discussion that suggests the conclusion that USB 3.0 hard drives are not suitable (I infer from this that all problem reports refer to USB 3.0). As ever, the proprietary USB disks concept seems to be a great impasse, because the hard drive can then not at a PC or directly on TV use.
