Would you care for a DVD-recorder / player capable of recording special moments in HD format? If your answer was yes, you might consider one of the latest models from Panasonic, the DMR-EZ475VK. This device is both a player – it can play DivX discs, DVDs and VHS tapes – and a recorder.



However, copying materials from broadcasted TV shows is not the only capability of this DVD recorder as with only the touch of a button, the One-Touch 2-Way Copying features allows the user to transfer video data from VHS tapes to DVDs and vice versa. Technically, with this device you can easily convert your VHS collection onto DVDs with little effort. Think at this! You could start your own business.



I have to praise this model as it is capable of recording from both digital and analog broadcasts thanks to the presence of a hybrid tuner dubbed Accutune Digital Tuner. Panasonic equipped its product with a signal processor which allows the DMR-EZ475VK to control noise and distortion while its ingeniously conceived circuits can separate digital from analog signals.



The device can record and play almost any DVD version, DVD-R/-RW/-RAM/+R/+RW discs, as well as DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-R (dual layer), DVD+R (dual layer), CD, CD-DA and CD-R/RW (including MP3 files) while the quality is impressive, when recording in LP mode, you can fit up to four hours of recordings on one DVD (4.7GB capacity) and still enjoy crisp, vibrant and exceptionally detailed images.



You think this is enough? Here is what you get on top of the features presented above: Progressive Scan, Real-Time Variable Bit Rate Control, HDMI Simple Connection or even an SD card to view your favorite pictures right on the TV screen. Imagine all the pictures taken with your personal camera delivered on a huge plasma or LCD screen! It will definitely impress your friends!
