4.0 out of 5 stars Works great for me...., April 16, 2007

By	Mark Smith "Fun with Guns" (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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...

4.0 out of 5 stars The best of Three, August 20, 2007

By	R. Schwochow "aged" (Tucson) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic DMR-EZ37VS DVD Recorder/VHS, December 22, 2007

By	Salty Dawg "Salty Dawg" (Suburban Detroit, Mi.) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased this product from Amazon.com and received it promptly via their free shipping option. It was very easy to set up and after spending about 1 hour reading the instructions, I was ready to try recording with it.

I instered a blank DVD + RW, and was prompted to format the disk which only took about 3 minutes. I then set several programs from my cable network to record. Upon returning home, I checked and all programs were recorded and when played back, were of very good quality. I used the 6 hour EP mode, as the directions indicated that using the 8 hour EP mode may result in poor sound quality.

The recordings were erased after viewing and new programming was set to record. It did just what it was programmed for, and these recordings were also very good.

I have tried the VCR recording mode also and have been quite happy with those recordings also.

Since I am not hooked for digital cable or over the air programming, I have only used the analog tuner for recording.

The only drawback is that it does NOT have an HDMI output, but neither does the TV I have it hooked to, so no big deal for me, but it may bother those who do have HDMI available on the TV.

A GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY.
