After having this item for several weeks now I decided to write a review and share what I felt...

This product does exactly what it was made to do... HDMI, HDMI...Of course there is no HDMI it does NOT have it. First rule of online buying...DO NOT TRUST SELLERS SPEC'S. I always go the manufacturer and check the specs to verify that the item does what is advertised. In this case there is NO HDMI. I knew that going in so it wasn't a factor of this review.

The unit works great. The fit and finish was perfect. The unit is complex and the manual is written for someone who has a total understanding of how DVD's are produced and used. So if you understand that then the manual is not a problem.

The only reason I gave 4 stars is a feature (to some) called "divide". When making a "copy" of a home movie from VHS to DVD every so often it makes a "divide" based on a signal on the VHS tape. I understand it is trying to make logical chapter breaks, but I wish it was an option that I could control. That is my only main gripe.

The unit does have a small menu and title building section it works and is nice to have. I don't think you need more as I don't remember those dusty VHS having more than a half stuck label on them in the first place.

Overall I think this unit does what it does best and that is make copies. The extras of having a digital ATSC tuner is a nice add on to make this unit a great machine moving into the digital television age...

This is my third DVD recorder, but my first Panasonic brand. As of this review the Panasonic performance far exceeds the previous two brands I owned. The momenclature is quite different from the previous two brands, which will prompt calls to Panasonic Tech Services for help. The manual requires alot of study, but the results are well worth the effort. The manuals page, and font size are larger than most manuals which is greatly appreciated

when you get over 80. The tech writers should have taken more time with the progression of the product features, example: the remote control which to me is as important as the recorder itself is shown on page 60 of a 86 page manual. I copied the page and rubber cemented to the inside cover of the manual. Panasonics parts, and labor is 1 year most manufactures labor is only 90 days. So far I'm very pleased with the EZ37V

I decided to purchase this item because of the reviews it received. I have not been disappointed. I have been working my way through all the functions that pertain to what I wanted it for. I was tired of the cheaper ones I have been using the last seven or eight years that have to be replaced just after the warranty expires. This model does everything that it's suppost too. The manuel is large and easy to read. I am not a electronic whiz but by following the instructions letter for letter, I was able to do taping,(VHS) DVD and the tranfer both directions with no trouble. Some of the other stuff it can do is not my bag so can't comment on those. I will say that I don't think I could have made a better choice for my purpose at any price and it's very well made and looks great.With the VHS & DVD in the same unit, I can save my DVD recorder,or record at the same time.

Worked great while it worked, some really great features. But I have only had it about 6 weeks and stopped working gives error code U61 and shuts off. Just took it to a repair shop under warranty needs a new DVD assembly and the part is not avialable, has to be back ordered. Will take 2 mos to repair. Panasonic will not give me a new unit in exchange. Very disappointed in Panasonic, horrible customer service.

After extensive research I decided on this model and I'm so happy I did.It is very easy to use but you must get familiar with the manual. I love manuals. After I hooked it up to my HDTV, which was very easy,all I did was play DVD's. Great picture and sound and great menu. There are many adjustments you can make if you choose. I really bought this to transfer wedding tapes to disc's because I have a DVR cable box.The recording went very well and the transfer easy. There is nothing so far that I can complain about.But I still pick up the manual and read because every time I do it seems I discover something else I can do and I love that. The price was a little more than many player/recorders but I think it was well worth it.
