The Panasonic DMR-EZ47V features an Accutune high-precision analog/digital tuner for recording and viewing digital broadcasts without a set top box. The built-in Digital Tuner also allows the user to record one digital broadcast program while watching a second program. Other features include 1080p up-conversion to accommodate the growing trend to 1080p displays, EZ-Sync HDAVI Control system for one-touch operation of Panasonic home theater components, super multi-format recording and playback capability, DivX playback and an SD Card slot for storing, viewing and copying JPEG formatted still photos. 1080p digital video up-conversion produces virtual HD images from standard-definition sources. The DMR-EZ47V also makes it very easy to record from DV camcorders via a DVI.

The Panasonic DMR-EZ47V is a dual deck DVD video recorder/VHS recorder, combining the features and benefits of the two technologies. One of the major uses of DVD recorders is the transfer of VHS tapes to the more durable, higher picture quality DVD format. With that in mind, Panasonic offers this dual deck unit, giving users the ability to easily dub their home movies and recorded VHS tapes onto either a DVD-RAM or DVD-R disc, and from a DVD disc back to a VHS tape. The DMR-EZ47V also includes one touch dubbing. The user also has the option of watching VHS tapes or DVDs on a space saving combination product.

Great machine

"I've tried every feature on this recorder and there have been no problems whatsoever. I have copied dozens of my old family VHS tapes to DVD and the quality on the DVD is even better than the original tape. I've used -R and -R/W primarily but have tried +R as well and they seem to work fine also. However the +R had problems playing on another brand of equipment, but that was mentioned in the owners manual. The o..." Read Full Review »

"This machine has a ton of input and output options. I have used it a number of applications after owning it for only a month or two. The dv input is quite handy and makes it quite versatile while using it with the VHS and DVD formats. It a bit pricey, but worth the extra bells and whistles. "
