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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, 27 Nov 2008
    Whereas I wouldn't say this has transformed our lives, it's certainly transformed our viewing habits. The only thing you need to consider is that the box only has one tuner. Assuming you have an IDTV the only potential problem is that you can't record two programmes showing at exactly the same time - but with many programmes these days being repeated in different slots we haven't found it to be a problem.

    You'll need an HDMI cable to connect to the TV but set up is a doddle, just power on and watch it find the channels. I connected mine to a Sony Bravia and the only thing I did was change the HDMI settings from the default 560p to 720p.

    There's quite a bit of adverse comment around about the Programme Guide having adverts; these are, admittedly, a bit distracting but nothing to put you off buying. In fact, the Guide is really easy to use and the great thing is being able to record an entire series with a single click.

    One thing to watch out for when copying to DVD is that the recording format has to be identical in order to use high-speed copy. In other words, if you record in SP mode on the HDD you must copy it in SP format to the DVD or the copy process will be done at normal speed (i.e. a one hour programme will take one hour to copy). As SP mode only gives you 2 hours recording on a DVD, you'll probably want to use LP mode for programmes you know you want to copy to DVD later. I use DVD-RAM disks and I can copy just under 2 hours of content in about 15 minutes.

    A great product - my wife hasn't missed a single episode of one of her many soaps since we bought it and she can watch them any time she wants.

    4.0 out of 5 stars DVD Pansonic, 4 Dec 2008
    By C. Thompson (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Panasonic DMR-EX768EBS - 160gb Hard Drive DVD Recorder - With 1080P Up-Conversion & Freeview Playback - Silver

    As usual great delivery from Amazon arriving spot on time three days after order placed. After searching through endless reviews I found myself totally confused and took pot luck in the end in ordering this DVD recorder.

    So far we are extremely pleased with it. Admittedly the instructions may as well be written in Chinese they are so complicated, but once you have waded through them the player is actually fairly easy to use. Recording is very simple, and the hard drive is extremely useful and easy to transfer to disk. The in built tuner is great, as although we have a digital TV we couldn't record and watch another channel so now we can. There seem to be millions of things it can do which i'm sure we'll never use, but if you just want to be able to record, transfer camcorder recordings onto DVD-RAM etc than I would thoroughly recommend this player. Someone in another review complained that there was no open/close button on the remote which there isn't, but unless you have a robot who will take the disc out and put it away for you I don't get how this is a major issue as you have to get off your chair anyway?

    Thanks Amazon and Panasonic!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value for Money, 22 Oct 2008
    I have found this DVD / HDD Recorder very easy to set up and use. Picture quality is good and speed of operation is as fast as can be expected. I have my Sky+ box AV2 connected to the DVD AV2 so I can record Sky without any problems. The initial unit I had was faulty, it wouldn't format / record DVDs and thought non RAM type had the protection tab selected. The Panasonic customer help line were very helpful and the Amazon returns procedure is hassle free. I use Maxwell DVD+RW and Panasonic RAM disc (Panasonic recommend Maxwell, JVC and their own discs). Many people prefer RAM discs, I would agree but the format is different so no good for playing in most DVD Players, However the files can be copied to your PC and if the file extension is changed to .mpg they will play on your PC and DVD software can turn them into standard DVD. The unit doesn't have an analogue reciever but this isn't a problem for me as I only use Sky and have bought the unit because my Sky+ disk is always full and I also want to back old VHS to DVD, which I can do through the AV inputs.
