FULL HD 3D Blu-ray Disc Playback

Blu-ray 3D discs store Full HD for the left eye and Full HD for the right eye and deliver them alternately to the screen in rapid sequential frames. This means all the stunning resolution and depth of 3D can be enjoyed at the highest quality.

Record 3D Broadcasts or 3D Home Movies

If you love 3D and want to capture Freeview 3D broadcasts from the BBC*, Panasonic HD recorders are just the ticket. Or if you own a 3D camera or camcorder, you can save your 3D content to the internal Hard Disc Drive by just connecting to the USB input or inserting the SD card from the camera or camcorder.

*Freeview HD 3D programming is limited and may be subject to change.

2D to 3D Conversion

Panasonic offer 2D-3D Conversion that enables regular 2D DVDs and Blu-ray Discs to be viewed as 3D images with natural depth perception. Watch your prized movie collection in 3D for even greater viewing enjoyment. Not only disc content, but video content via VIERA Connect, can also be converted into 3D.

Picture and Sound Quality

Full HD Up-sampling with Super Resolution Processor

Full HD Up-sampling allows standard definition movies on DVD discs to approach Full HD quality. Using Panasonic's PHL developed image processor, the picture is intelligently analysed to optimise the processing of each pixel resulting in an improved picture quality that breathes new life into your DVD collection.

Pure Sound Mode for Disc Playback

This new mode for 2013 shuts down movement in noise-generating parts such as the internal Hard Disc Drive and tuner, and minimises cooling fan movement to produce a quieter, clear sound when playing a disc.

Easy to Use

500GB* Capacity Hard Disc Drive Recorder

500GB of built-in recording space, enabling you to capture your favourite TV moments, either from standard definition or stunning HD broadcasts. And it's not just about recording TV. You can also use the available recording space to store music, digital photos or home camcorder footage.

*Useable capacity will be less.

Freeview Plus - Record, Pause and Rewind Live TV

Freeview+ functionality, providing some very smart features to look after your TV recordings:

• Twin Digital Tuner - ensures that when two programmes clash it never becomes an issue.
• Pause and Rewind Live TV - gives you the chance to review and replay a part of live action, or pause the action while you deal with an interruption.
• Series Record - notifies you when the programme you want to record is part of a series and sets the rest of the series to record automatically.
• Accurate Recording via Guide Link - if a programme offers "Guide Link" it means that even if the start or end time changes, the recording time will be changed automatically to match the new time.
• Split Event Recording - even if the programme you set to record is interrupted by and continues after the news, no problem, both parts of the programme will still be recorded.
• Overlap Recording Resolve - even with two tuners, sometimes there may be a third programme that you simply can't miss. Don't worry, if there's a conflict, Panasonic Freeview+ recorders scan the programme listings to find a different time when that programme is repeated and sets the recorder accordingly.

DLNA Server and Client

Not only can the recorder act as a DLNA client letting you enjoy music, videos or digital photos from a Windows 7 (or above) PC for example, but it can also be a DLNA server that streams recordings from its internal hard disk drive to other DLNA devices in the home, such as a networked Panasonic Blu-ray player or TV.
