Product Description

Panasonic DIGA DMR-EZ48VK - DVD recorder/ VCR combo - black

By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, SD format data is up-converted to 1080 x 1920p HD format video data. This conversion increases the richness of the original data by almost six fold, producing the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV.

The high-performance hybrid digital tuner is capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. And even when digital signals drop out because of interference with direct signal access, which makes the picture either disappear or become filled with block noise, the digital tuner still produces a beautiful picture.

Connect your Panasonic DVD recorder to your Viera flat-panel HDTV via an HDMI cable, and the TV channel setting information is automatically downloaded to the recorder. Once the auto preset download is complete, the DVD recorder will keep whichever TV channel you're watching as its receiving channel. This means you can record the program you're watching by just pressing the record button on the Viera remote. With Viera Link, you don't have to worry about setting the recorder to the right channel every time you want to record something.

The Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK DVD recorder is equipped with an SD Memory Card slot and USB terminal, which makes it easy to view photos from your digital camera. Just slip the SD card into the slot or use the cable to connect the camera to the USB terminal, and you're ready to enjoy a spectacular big-screen slideshow with family and friends. You can even listen to music recorded onto a USB device while viewing your photos.

All of Panasonic's DVD recorder models are designed in compliance with Panasonic's universal design principles. Frequently used buttons (power, open / close) are located at the top of the main unit to make them easier to see when the unit is placed in a rack and you need to look down when operating it. Both the remote control and Graphical User Interface (GUI) were designed for easy use by everyone, based on the results of a Panasonic survey.

  • 1080p up-conversion
  • Digital tuner capable
  • Easy operation with Viera Link
  • Expansion of usages
  • Universal design

    This Panasonic DVD/VHS Recorder/Player is awesome January 27, 2011

    This Panasonic DVD/VHS Recorder/Player is awesome. It is the latest and greatest update and upgrade from the 1997 model I initially purchased for my son. The 1997 model lasted almost 4 years before dying, and we had purchased the extended warranty so when the Sears repair folks could not fix it, they replaced it with this model at no cost. The number of hours this unit was operated in the past nearly four years was probably 4X that of what a normal family would use. The quality of recording, the ease of use and output quality is superb. I would recommend this over any other brand.

    2nd unit December 16, 2010

    This is the 2nd identical Panasonic DVD/VHS unit I've owned.  The first one was not purchased at Sears.  The first one had the RAM, I think it was, go out at just 2 years old.  I'd also had numerous other problems with it.  It's full of idiosyncrasies.  It would have cost a little over $200 to fix. Can get a new one for a bit over that.   I took a chance and purchased another identical one from Sears because it works well with my Panasonic TVs.  They "talk" to each other.  But as to whether I'd recommend this unit to a friend........based on the first one NO I would not recommend it.  This one is not yet a month old and I've had to reset it numerous times already.  I expected more from Panasonic.  I'm not at all pleased with this item.  Because of what happened with the first unit, I purchased a 5 yr warranty, which I never do, but I'm not going to purchase another one 2 yrs from now!!  Not up to Panasonic standards.

    Panasonic DMV EZ48 VK I am on my 5th one. January 02, 2012
    By Electronicshopeful of Lafayette, IN
    Pros:
    none
    Cons:
    It would be great if it worked

    We are returning our 5th one this one will not record what we select to record. These are some or the other problems with some of the other 4 recorders. Recorder will change channels at will. The tray does not always open and close when you push the button. When trying to change channels one at a time you may have to push the button 2 or 3 times before it moves at all. After it moves sometimes it will go back to where it started. There are times when you move 6 or 7 channels and it will go back to where it started. Twice it has recorded the wrong channel going back, the correct channel was selected. When you set the picture size to 4.3 it does not fill the screen, and I have black bars top and bottom. Sometimes there are gray bars extending the black bars both top and side. The fast forward jumps to high from 2 10 to 30, thirty is way too fast to know where you are. We would like to have one that works if Panasonic will test it and send it to me direct.

    Pros:
    Easy to use and program.,It communicates with Viera TVs,DVD RAM is assume

    I am looking forward to using the panasonic dmr ez48vk. It was easy to set up and I love all the features it has. I especially love the fact I can copy family vhs movies to dvd and vise versa. Learning how to use it has been especially easy with good directions in the service manual.

    Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK DVD Recorder/VCR Combo December 16, 2011
    By pmara1 of Clinton, NY
    Pros:
    Easy to use and program.,It communicates with Viera TVs
    Cons:
    Freezes up often

    Unit was great while it operated properly. Ocassionally when fast forwarding DVD was freezing and drive started to make a chattering noise, at this point the unit wouldn't do anything and just hung up. The only way to get the unit operating again was to unplug it to reset the unit. Ended up having to return it for a refund.

    Excellent Technology in DVD, VCR, and Photos December 08, 2011
    By Pfleuger of Butler, PA
    Pros:
    Easy to use and program.,DVD RAM is assume

    I bought two of these and love them. The DVD-Ram discs are great and very clear. You can record one channel and watch another. You can also chase play and be recording and watching the same show as it records. The photo options are incredable. Who needs a Digital Photo Frame when you have this. You can have slide shows on your TV that are continious and even run with background music. My family loves these. Buy one you will not be sorry.
