One gripe about the Panasonic combos: the digital tuner doesn't feed to the VCR. I pulled up the owner's manual on Panny's web site and, in the section on recording, there is a note that only the DVD can record from the digital tuner. The Toshiba D-VR660 does feed the digital tuner to both VCR and DVD. I don't know if the 670 has the same feature however as the owner's manual is not on Toshiba's web site. The Magnavox DV200MW8 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo, HDMI 1080p Up-Conversion, No Tuner has many different features and benefits that will enhance your television experience. This DVD VCR Combo is a DVD player and recorder as well as a VHS recorder. This allows you to watch DVD’s and record your favorite shows on a VHS or DVD depending on your needs. This is a Magnavox ZV450MW8 VCR/DVD Recorder. I got this machine asis on eBay. The seller told me about the VCR side of the house. The VCR side needs new belts, springs, felt pads and a dab of white grease. The Magnavox combis appear to use the same board as the Toshiba, and I don't see the 'digital tuner for DVD only' note that the Pannys have. The Mag ZV450MW8 does not have an HDMI output. The ZV457MG9 does. If you don't need the tuner and can still find it, the panasonic EA38 (recommended to me by several folks here) has been a little flakey, but not as temperamental as the 48 with tuner -- and, added bonus, it has IRblaster that lets you control converter box etc. Cant say I LOVE it, but since connecting it to a STB to stabilize the tuning issues I was having, it's been fairly reliable - locks up occasionally, but easy to reset without turning it off and losing timer settings (once you find the magic reset button under the front panel) I think, of the panasonics out there, this one is ok and the upconversion is good, via HDMI or component.

This is the ONE: Panasonic DMR-EH75V(80 GB) DVD Recorder / VCR / HDD Tho its newer siblings, the es35v, and es45v are the greatest combos ever made for the us/canada. I got (3) 35, and (1) 45 + 1 for parts. Maybe one day I'll get a eh75 and mod it. Only a little over $300 so far on ebay. Or learn Japanese and get the DMR-XP25V, they have all the best tech in japan.

Yes, I agree with your choice of the DMR-EH75V even though I don't have this model. ![]() ![]() I do have a few of the siblings you and Jeff mentioned. My fully functional Panasonics, in current use or in a standby status include (6) DMR-ES35V, (2) DMR-ES30V (my daughter also has two of these), (2) DMR-ES15, (1) DMR-ES40V (a dreadful product), (3) DMR-EZ17 and (1) DMR-EZ28. 2010 world cup song download. My non-functional Panasonic 'parts machines' include (1) DMR-ES46V, (1) DMR-ES35V, (2) DMR-ES15, (1) DMR-EZ17. I'm attaching two photos more than a year old and three more recent photos.

Saw one of these (or something very similar - DVD VHS and 80 GB panny ) the other day on Craig's list in Seattle/Tacoma (cash and carry, local sale only). It does look nice. I guess they're still out there if you look real hard. Originally Posted by hansiz Yup they're out there now and then. I'd rather get a great SVHS vcr and a great dvd recorder for $300.

It would be a 9.5 if SVHS or DVHS, 10 for a semi-pro pany (AG-1980).
