Panasonic DMR-EZ47V DVD & VHS Recorder

Posted Jan 3rd, 2008 by Chief Gadgeteer

Yes, we all still have a ton of VHS movies and a VHS player/recorder that may be on its last legs. What do you do with them? Do you need to go buy them all again? How do you watch them? Panasonic has the answers with their DMR-EZ47V DVD & VHS Recorder that plays both DVD and VHS formats and can record from one to the other. Now you can digitize those tapes for even longer life.

The unit does have an HDMI connector and will 1080p upscale. As if that wasn’t enough, it has an SD card slot and will read in JPG images on SD and SDHC cards. It can handle DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW and even CD and CD-R/RW formats.

Some Features:

Digital Broadcast Capable with Built-In ATSC4 Tuner
Automatic Program Information Acquisition (ATSC4)
2x LP Horizontal Resolution (500 lines)
Progressive Scan
Long Time Recording with High Picture Quality (EP mode: 8 hours)
Real-Time Variable Bit Rate Control
EZ Sync™ HDAVI Control
HDMI Simple Connection (HDMI Ver. 1.3)
Super Multi-Format Recording & Playback5
DivX Playback6
JPEG View with SD Slot
One-Touch 2-Way Copying

At under $300, I think it may be time to snag one of these and complete the switch. VHS - you were a reliable format for many, many years but time does have a way of making old technology obsolete

Gimmie!
