Integrated DVB-T digital tuner for high quality digital television

The DMR-EZ48V features an integrated DVB Digital Tuner for viewing enjoyment. The integrated tuner allows for digital broadcasting reception without the use of an external tuner incorporated into a set-top box. High quality digital television enjoyment has never been easier with a Panasonic DVD-Recorder.

By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, All format data is up-converted to 1080 x 1920p HD format video data. This conversion increases the richness of the original data by almost six fold, producing the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV. The high-performance hybrid digital tuner is capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. 

And even when digital signals drop out because of interference with direct signal access, which makes the picture either disappear or become filled with block noise, the digital tuner still produces a beautiful picture. Connect your Panasonic DVD recorder to your Viera flat-panel HDTV via an HDMI cable, and the TV channel setting information is automatically downloaded to the recorder. 

Once the auto preset download is complete, the DVD recorder will keep whichever TV channel you're watching as its receiving channel. This means you can record the program you're watching by just pressing the record button on the Viera remote. With Viera Link, you don't have to worry about setting the recorder to the right channel every time you want to record something. 

Frequently used buttons (power, open / close) are located at the top of the main unit to make them easier to see when the unit is placed in a rack and you need to look down when operating it. Both the remote control and Graphical User Interface (GUI) were designed for easy use by everyone, based on the results of a Panasonic survey.

Multi-functional DVD Recorder with VHS VCR, 1080p upscaling, Copy your old VHS tapes on to DVD, conveniently record your favorite Free view program and easily transfer video from camcorders. The DMR-EZ48VEBK is flexible, functional and offers excellent build-quality.

Highly rated for image quality, the DMR-EZ48VEBK can upscale SD (for example Freeview TV) to 1080p HD. It also uses sophisticated Adaptive Noise Reduction to further improve Free view quality and supports Deep Colour. By upscaling SD via HDMI v1.3, you can experience the benefits of HD image quality but without viewing HD content. The Adaptive Noise Reduction detects and removes the block noise that occurs in Digital TV signals and results in clear, crisp Freeview. If your HD TV can support Deep Colour, then the system can reproduce images with 12-bit, 4,096-step gradation, giving you rich, life-like colour and detailed gradation.

The DMR-EZ48VEBK is incredibly easy to use thanks to the simple on-screen menu system and convenient remote control. You can transfer video between VHS and DVD and vice versa simply by pressing a button. You can also benefit from Viera Link which, providing you have a compatible device, allows you to control a range of functions using a Viera remote control. For example you can switch on all your home cinema devices simultaneously or immediately record a program using your TV’s remote control. 

When recording, you have a choice of four recording modes; from the highest quality XP Mode which can fit 1 hour of video on to a 4.75GB DVD disc to EP Mode offering 6 to 8 hours on the same disc.
