    CNET Review

    April 29, 2007

    The Good: The Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK records video to DVD or VHS; it has excellent recording quality, including an outstanding LP mode; HDMI output up to 1080p; good DVD upconversion; an SD card slot; flexible custom recording speed; DVD-RAM compatibility with the ability to edit; and a FireWire input.

    The Bad: Its ATSC tuner cannot deliver full HDTV resolution; no EPG or IR blaster to control other gear.

    The Bottom Line: Despite a few ATSC limitations, the Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK delivers almost all the features and performance we look for in a DVD/VHS recorder.
