I almost didn't but this unit because of bad reviews and that it is more expensive that most recorders. Fortunately, I was able to get the unit for $179 at a local retailer who was willing to match Amazon's price. The bad reviews caused me to bu
This produce came earlier than predicted, and setting it up was no problem at all. It helps that (1) I've done this kind of thing before, and (2) I followed the directions. The learning curve on the remote was very short, and everything works as ad
Panasonic DMR-EZ28K 1080p Upconverting DVD Recorder with Built In Tuner Received this used EZ28K DVD Recorder quickly and still in like new condition. Setup was a breeze (just like connecting a DVD player) to my TV and Cable. After setting the recorder
I bought a different brand and could never get it to record, the software was so unintelligible. So I returned it and got the Panasonic. It is very easy to use. The steps to record or anything else are easy to access and very logical -- they follow alo
I purchased this unit to replace 2 other Panasonic recorders(DMR E55) that I currently own because of the digital conversion of the airwaves that has taken place. I record shows off of the cable during the week to watch on the weekends when I have time t
I haven't tried most of the more involved features, as I only purchased the device to replace an aging VCR. I'm very pleased with it,though. It's modestly complex by nature, but the menu selections are well done and reasonably intuitive. I&
I bought this model based on other reviews, mostly for the similar Panasonic DVD recorder that did not have a TV tuner built in. That model was sold out everywhere, so I got this one for a bit more, and have no info regarding the television tuner portion.
On top of the other 5 star reviews for this product, I'd like to add the following: As far as I know based on my research via Google and forums elsewhere, only Panasonic makes the HD Upconverters that can do Closed Captioning over HDMI. Not only tha
If you have basic cable like I do then this unit is just what you need. I have a DMR-ES25 & DMR-EZ27, both by Panasonic and they have worked perfectly since I purchased them from Amazon about 3 years ago! The DMR-EZ27 has the same digital tuner as t
This is the best DVD Recorder I found on the market so far. I tested several of them, and this one worked the best for me. Highly recommended!

After receiving the Panasonic DMR-EZ28K 1080p Upconverting DVD Recorder, it did not function as I expected. I contacted Bruno at Electronics Expo and he exceeded my expectations by sending a return shipping label for the return of my Panasonic DMR-EZ28K
I got the Panasonic DMR-EZ28K for two main purposes: to watch standard DVDs, and to record Digital Over-the-air broadcasts. As would be expected, the EZ28 does a fine job of playing DVDs, so I won't say any more about that. As a recorder for OTA bro
The DMR-EZ28K is my second DVD recorder from Panasonic. My other DVD recorder is a DMR-E55 that my wife and I have used on a daily basis for over four years without experiencing any problems. We bought this second recorder to use with the television set
I purchased this for nothing other than the digital tuner. It works great with Cox cable and I pickup local HD channels through the coax now with a few other channels sprinkled in. It is a little slow in switching between digital and analog stations but
I have had nothing but the best of luck with Panasonic Products,and i purchased the 3 year warrenty and that has been worth every cent.. this is really easy to use,user -friendly recorder. So if your like me wnd want to convet your vhs to dvd and even rec
I never paid much attention to DVD recorder until very recently, when I searched for a way to record HDTV programs off the air (I am done paying monthly fee for DVR or TiVO). And I seldom write product review. I just got my Panasonic DMR-EZ28K from my lo
Summary -- This unit is easy to use and works great. I started looking for a unit that would replace an old VCR and DVD player. Tried another DVD player/recorder and found it very hard to use and the built in protection features prevented viewing DVD�
Bought as a replacement for a 4 year old Panasonic dvr which failed due to power circuit board problems. Chose another Panasonic as size, RAM disks, etc all same. Installed 3 weeks ago and so far everything works as advertized. Hope it will last at least
I bought this 3 months ago to pre-empt the switch to digital TV and have my old VHS VCR not work. I own a standard digitial TV but no cable, no satellite or fiber-optic. Just over-the-air signal and want to keep recording TV shows. Using TDK DVD-RW dis
Pros: Ease of use and flex recording are very good. Cons: none found in our use of this machine Summary:
I record cable tv programs on the cable company box. I want to save selected programs to DVD for future viewing. That is all I want to do. This machine does that very well. The video quality is as good as my screen can produce (a 57 inch projection So
I debated over which product to get as the reviews seemed mixed, but I am pleased with my final choice. I primarily was looking for a product that could record VCR tapes onto DVD, but I also wanted the ability to tape TV programs. Since I don't hav
This unit is pretty good for the price, i had the older version with analog tuner, since i got my hdtv i wanted a dvd that can record hd channels, when you play a standard dvd the upconvertion is amazing, the colors are bright, good product, for a not to
I have used this one for 6 months now and have not had any problems with it. The tuner picks up my digital channels very good. Recording picture is great even in the LP mode. Stay away from the EP mode. The only trouble I have had is with DL discs (Rit
Very typical. Works fine. Not shockingly well, but this is my 3rd brand trail and this is the easiest to use. A bit quicker too, not by much.
This is a very good product. No DVD Recorder is perfect, but this one records high quality video. It upconverts the picture, which is not as good as true HD, but it's good when viewed on DVD-RAM. The DVD-RAM is able to play in the full widescreen
I bought this just to burn DVDs, not watch or record TV. I source from a DVCam VTR which is either playing tapes or is transcoding audio/video from my FCP system. I am a free lance video editor and need to be able to hand out DVDs of in-progress edits, e
The Panasonic DMR-EZ28K is a very good DVD Recorder. It's extremely easy to program and yields an excellent picture. So far the only drawback is that it seems to take an inordantly long time to turn on. It does have a "quick-on" setting but
I purchased the Panasonic DMR-EZ28 last April as a replacement for my ailing Phillips recorder and have been very pleased with it so far. I did experience one of the infamous freezes, but that was easily corrected with the reset button. As noted in othe
For the past four years I have been using a Sony RDR-GX330 DVD recorder. I copied over 700 films from television before it finally graciously gave out. Copying films from TV is what I do primarily and cannot speak to other uses of the recorder. It seems t
I purchased this model to replace an older Panasonic DVD recorder. I was well aware of the potential for quirky software in the Panasonic models, but was satisfied with the quality of the recordings. The quirkiness seemed progressive as the unit aged, p

I bought the Panasonic DMR-EX28K DVD recorder as a replacement for our VCR. I did not go the DVR route because I wanted to own a device and not have to pay ongoing subscription rates. I've been using the device for about 6 months now, and I haven&#
I bought this unit as a alternative to a vcr, as I am now receiving the digital signal. It connects to my old rooftop antenna, can and I can record tv shows, to dvd ram disk, similar to the way the old vcr did. Occasionally the unit freezes and I have to
This is my second DVD recorder purchase. First one was a TOSHIBA DR400 which plays DIVX (unlike the newer 410 which DOES NOT). Pros: 1. DIVX 2. DVD recording feature that allows maximizing your space on your DISC. 3. Viera Link (for Panasonic Plasma owne
This recorder has many great features, including good picture quality, the ability to pause a recording (many older DVRs could not do this), and it is easy to use. The menu is fantastic; I have worked with older DVRs that had confusing and difficult menu
This DVD recorder is a basic, plodding unit. If you're recording while something is playing (not a programmed recording) and want to set the timer, you are stuck with 30 min and then hourly increments, like it's a bloody VCR! (My Toshiba let m

I recently purchased this model after my previous DVD recorder from Pioneer stopped working due to power issues. While trying to decide if it was worth the money to repair my previous unit, I bought this one. Set up was easy. I just plugged everything i
Pros: Unit does a good job recording DVDs. Cons: Over the air HDTV channel selection/tuning is very poorly designed. Summary:
I have had Panasonic DVD Recorders since they first appeared on the market. My first was a DMR-E20 and it was super. The only feature it lacked that appeared later was the Flex-Recording from a standing start. On the E20 you could utilize it by schedu
I needed a DVD Recorder with a built in digital tuner. (My other machine, a Toshiba D-R4, only has an analog tuner.) I chose this unit simply because I had Best Buy store credit that I had to use the day I got it, and this was the only DVD Recorder in t
You would think that a new, 2008 model of a digital tuner with advertised "1080p" capability and component outputs would be High Definition. It's not. You have to look very carefully at the box and literature to take notice that the tuner
I bought this recorder and found it easy to use. But other than that it's slow when you change the channels and it had problems recording after two or three times using a disc that was made to re-write 1000 times. The first call to tech support was
The digital tuner is very good, although the machine displays "NO DISK" when you watch TV, rather than the station #...?. The DVD player picture is very good, and the sound outputs are good. But the disc tray loader and all software portions s
I buy DVD recorders all the time. Use for my business. I have stuck w/ the panasonic line for a few reasons. For the most part - they work great. However this model, the one I have, the timer record only works about half the time. This can be a huge
I have three of these models that were purchased last year. Each one has or had some type of problem. I bought these to receive digital signals over the air and from cable. All have frozen up over the past year. All I did was either unplug the units or ho
This machine is awful. I have to reset it at least once a week. There are also to many steps to record.
Before buying this product(Panansonic recorder)after Christmas, I read all the reviews. Most people seemed to be satified with their purchase. A few people were very dissatisfied, saying the unit would lockup (freeze). Now I see many reviews from people
