Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Panasonic
Freeview Playback

Freeview Playback
All of 2008 Hard Drive models have features designed to make TV recording super convenient, including detection of schedule changes, series recording and the ability to pause live TV.
Pause Live TV
Pause Live TV lets you freeze TV programmes just like pausing a DVD, by selecting "Pause Live TV" on the VIERA Link menu. With VIERA Link you can even access Pause Live TV from the VIERA remote control. The TV programme is temporarily saved on the hard disk drive so you can watch the rest of the programme, precisely from the stopped frame, at a later time. * When 8 hours have passed since the programme was recorded, the image is deleted in successive 30-minute lengths. * This function is available for Panasonic products that support VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 3).

Deep Colour

Deep Colour
DIGA is Deep Colour ready, which means they can reproduce images with 12-bit, 4,096-step gradation. You enjoy exceptionally rich, naturallooking colours, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour banding (the TV must also be Deep Colour compatible).

1080p Up - Conversion

1080p Up - Conversion
Ordinary TV broadcasts and DVD discs provide SD images with 576 x 640 pixels or 576 x 720 pixels. Today‘s newest HDTVs, on the other hand, can display images with 1080 x 1920 pixels. HDTVs require high-quality image sources suitable for their large screens. If the optimization process for high-quality images is inadequate, the picture can become blurry or grainy. DIGA‘s original i/p conversion and up-conversion functions solve this problem. These functions convert SD signals from DVD discs or DIGA‘s own hard disc drive into 1080p signals that provide high-resolution images. The conversion process boosts the amount of image information by about 5 times, so pictures are clear and beautiful.
Intelligent I/P Conversion

Intelligent I/P Conversion
DIGA uses Precision Pixel Generation technology in combination with three advanced functions - Pixel-Based Motion Adaptive, Diagonal Processing, and 2:2 Detection and Processing - to apply the type of i/p conversion that best suits the image. Precise Pixel Generation - Using a high-speed algorithm, this technology generates a new pixel for an image area from information obtained from 60 neighbouring pixels.
DVB-T Adaptive Noise Reduction

DVB-T Adaptive Noise Reduction
The DVB-T Adaptive Noise Reduction detects and removes the block noise that is unique to digital broadcasts. It helps deliver beautiful pictures with minimal noise.
Super Multi Format

Super Multi Format
All DIGA DVD recorders offer the ease and convenience of Super Multi- Format Recording and Playback, which lets users play all of their DVDs, regardless of the recording format. DIGA models can record and play back DVD-RAM, DVD-R1 2, DVD-R DL1 2 3, DVD-RW1 3, +R, +R DL3, +RW discs. So you don't have to worry about whether your DIGA can play back everything in your current video library.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic DMR-EX768, 8 Aug 2008
    Good, as usual with Panasonic.

    Its main advantage over other disc recorders is that the LP mode (allowing you to put about 4 hr 15 mins onto a DVD) has the same 500 lines of resolution as the SP mode which makes it very economical. I can't tell the difference on my (relatively small screened) TV between LP and SP and consequently usually use the former. Possibly there is a noticeable difference on larger screens.

    A slight disappointment is that the inbuilt Freeview receiver doesn't seem quite as good as my old external Panasonic TU-CT41 box.

    A step backwards is the abysmal "Guide Plus" EPG which replaces the old Freeview guide. It has space-wasting and distracting high contrast adverts on the left (mostly for BBC magazines) which change frequently making the whole thing so difficult, slow and unpleasant to use that I've reverted to using my external box for programme information.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic's reputation continues, 13 May 2008
    The EX768 has replaced my ageing Panasonic EH50, which although much loved, couldn't record from my new Sony freeview telly without being very fiddly.

    Panasonic have a good reputation with their DVD recorders, and this unit can only strengthen it. Anyone who already owns a "Panny" will instantly feel at home as the design structure of the menus and navigation is identical to previous models - clear, intuitive, and quite attractive.
    The major addition to their latest releases is a Freeview tuner. Once you set up and switch on for the first time, it will automatically search and store channels. You can flick through the channels with the EPG, which is where the Panasonic falls down a little.
    Instead of a digital EPG, only a Guideplus EPG is provided. This achieves the same end result, but the programme data isn't updated as regularly and the interface looks more rudimentary and basic than Panasonic's user interface (mentioned earlier). Oh and there are adverts on one side of the screen.
    The features available are excellent. You can record one episode of a programme or an entire series with a few button presses. If you record a film which is split in two, for the news for example, the Panasonic will automatically cut it out. Whilst recording, you can watch another recording on the hard drive or DVD. There is a selection of recording qualities from XP to EP.
    The Panasonic's editing facilites are as good as ever, with the ability to name, erase and create chapters and playlists. When transferring to DVD (permanently), there is also a choice of menu screens to use.

    The remote is well laid out and uncomplicated, though the responsiveness could be better. The good news is that the flimsy scroll wheel from past units has been removed.


    You could also check out the EX768's more expensive big brothers - EX78 & EX88 - which come with a larger hard drive, USB sockets, Jukebox facilites for more advanced music storage, and in the case of the EX88 an SD slot for digital photographs.



    But ultimately, if you are simply looking for a high quality recorder to catch favourite films and programmmes in digital style, especially when on holiday and you need Series Link to capture every episode of your favourite soap, the EX768 is worth every penny.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just superb!, 3 July 2008
    By A. J. Pickerill - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This is my very first DVD recorder, and not owning one before I did not know what to expect. I did my research in depth and found using specs and customer reviews that this was the one for me....

    I do not regret the decision to buy this at all. A very competant machine indeed.

    It was set up and recorded within about 10-15 minutes from me opening the box, so very easy in terms of set up. Very good recording quality, and I like the whole "sky plus" set up, picking the programme you want to record and within seconds it has been set to record.

    If you are looking for a DVD recorder with hard drive, this is the machine for you!

    4.0 out of 5 stars DMR-EX768EBK Freeview+ 160GB Hard Drive DVD Recorder 1080P Up-Conversion - Black
    An excellent DVD recorder which my wife and I can both use even tho we are both in our mid 70s.
