Small functional weaknesses, but a good device

First, a tip for my predecessor: To change the Guide Plus Night update do not need the time programming will be erased, it is sufficient if the timer (but all) be deactivated with the red button. This tip I got in one day on mail from Panasonic support.

The advantages of the device have already described my predecessor, so I only mention points that struck me:

- The Time Skip function with elegant minute selection is awesome to skip advertising

- The timer programming will be sorted by time, you know exactly what will be recorded next.

- When programming over the broadcast GuidePlus name is taken, important for orientation on the hard disk contents. Manually entering broadcast name is also solved nicely.

- The remote control is very classy and ergonomic

- Slow motion is only pause and forward selected

- No zoom during playback

- The DVD playback is based on the functionalities ago with a cheap Medion DVD player actually better

- This type of device is a huge step forward for the VCR and now attractively priced

- I hope that the device also holds long. My Panasoncvideorekorder (also winner) has become defective within the 24 month warranty, but has been repaired free of charge from the Panasonic Service Center.

But to be winner does not guarantee a long service life!
