Product Description

Manufacturers Description

DVD Recorder with HDD (160 GB) and DVB-T tuner, SD slot.
Affirming its industry-leading position in recordable DVD products, Panasonic is introducing four new DIGA series DVD recorders, the DMR-EX87, DMR-EX77, DMR-EZ47V, and DMR-EZ27 - that offer 1080p image quality in both recording and playback, easy operation, and improved networking capabilities.

All four models come equipped with the HDMI terminal, which allows easy, single-cable connection to compatible equipment.
They also offer Panasonic's proprietary VIERA Link functions for linked operation of other AV devices, and these functions are now even more convenient.
Beginning with the 2007 model year, it is now possible to control a DIGA recorder, when connected to a Panasonic VIERA TV, using VIERA's remote control unit. This provides convenient control over frequently used functions by using only VIERA's remote.By pressing the VIERA Link button on the remote, a DIGA menu screen can be accessed directly from the VIERA Link menu screen, to make recording settings or play a DVD.

All four new models also offer improved image quality with 1080p technology.
By combining intelligent i/p Conversion and 1080p Up-Conversion technologies, DIGA's 1080p technology renders high-resolution 1080p images from DVD movies and TV broadcasts.Also they are equipped with a new digital tuner that achieves stable signal reception even under poor signal conditions, such as when signals are reflected by surrounding buildings. The new tuner also prevents the generation of block noise. This optimises the high image and sound quality of digital broadcasts.A host of other attractive features also enhance the new DIGA models.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent machine, 22 Oct 2007
I did alot of research before buying this DVD recorder. It was between this and the Sony RDR-HXD870. I eventually decided on this Panasonic EX77 and so far I am not disappointed. It is so simple to setup. Once you have connected it to the T.V and then turn it on it automatically scans for the digital channels, this can take up to 5 minutes then your ready and can watch tv. Recording is so simple whether recording on to the harddrive or DVD.
It has a 7 day tv guide, you can select what programs to record from this. One thing that the sony does that this doesnt do is a function called series record and if a program isnt running to the scheduled time eg a program after sport it doesnt adjust the recording time. But this is only a personal fault.
This recorder doesnt have an analogue tuner just one digital tuner. You can connect another freeview box if required so you can watch a channel while recording another.
This doesn't include a HDMI cable or scart lead.
I have not yet used all of the features on this player but i am very pleased with what I have used so far and would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good but simple to use recorder with
harddrive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed with functionality, 9 Nov 2007
By Mr. S. Wigg "simonjw1" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Quick delivery from Amazon-arrived as expected. Lots of mixed reviews here that got me wondering if I had bought the right item (should I have bought a pure PVR?). Other reviewers concerned about stuff like pausing Live TV and twin tuners.

I had a play with the EX77 last night; you can pause live TV; yes you do have to start recording first, then press play and you are seeing the recorded playback-which you can then pause/resume and even rewind. I also found that you could play from the hard drive whilst it is recording another program. I have recorded on LP and found the quality to be very good, hardly distinguishable from normal freeview.

The program guide is good, though a little bit cluttered - recording from here is incredibly easy; the program guide shows programs for the next seven days.

The unit is fairly quiet - with the TV switched off you can hear a gentle hum, but nothing to be concerned about. I bought this for the bedroom - but set up in the lounge to test it - now I want another unit for the bedroom. I am not fussed about this player not having DivX - I prefer to buy/rent DVDs; the Panasonics that have the Divx playback do not have record.

As I have had this for only a couple of days I haven't learnt to use all of the features yet - but so far so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars All I ever needed!, 2 July 2007
By B. Sutton (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been looking into hard drive recorders for quite a while. By the time I bought this, I had a good idea of what I was after. Integrated freeview was particularly important to ensure greater ease of use and compatibility, with a dvd recorder to burn permanant copies of stuff I decided I wanted to keep (knowing that otherwise my hard drive will eventually become full - forward thinking!).

Auto-set up made installation a breeze, and I have not yet been disappointed. One of my small concerns was not having video-plus to quickly set up recording - but found that I had overlooked using the digital electronic programme guide - setting timer recording is a breeze, only need to find the programme in the guide and press enter, and that's pretty much it (beside a few tweaks if needed).

I've also surprised myself with some features. I plugged my playstation 3 in the front of the machine's phono sockets, the result being able to record my friends making idiots of themselves using the Eyetoy Game and a camera! Going to make a nice DVD of these clips and send to my friends as a surprise to make their day! I've yet to try using the DV port to put the contents of my DV camera onto DVD, which is another thing I was looking for.

Well worth every penny I spent - despite not having tried everything! Good price for such a quality product, jam-packed full of features, with a relatively simple interface and remote. I'm confident this won't disappoint many buyers. Thanks Amazon for yet another great buy, with super-fast free delivery!
