Great choice!
Great for personal use rather that relying on set menus set by manufacturers. Panasonic name is also renown for quality products and one feels secure in purchasing products with the Panasonic name.

Easy to use.
Great quality product that does what it need to in a diminishing segment. Great panasonic quality And super easy to use. Starting to show it's age now as this model has been around for many years. It's only downfall is the smart hub which leaves a lot to be desired, but apart from that It is a great machine that records beautifully and everyone in our house can use.

Panasoni Blu-ray Player/500GB Twin Tuner Recorder
Had Panasonic dvd recorders for many years. Only draw back, it doesn’t have an eject button, otherwise great.

Q: What does the twin tuner let this Panasonic recorder do in everyday use?
A: It lets the recorder handle two TV tuners at once, so you can record two broadcast channels at the same time, or watch one channel while recording another. That is the main practical advantage over a single-tuner recorder.
Q: How much TV can the 500GB hard drive hold before recordings need to be deleted or moved?
A: The 500GB hard drive stores around 341 hours of HD recording under the stated recording condition. Actual space available can vary with the recording mode used, so higher quality settings will generally reduce total recording time.
Q: Can this model record to its hard drive and also to Blu-ray or DVD discs?
A: Yes. This model combines a built-in 500GB hard drive with Blu-ray and DVD recording, so it suits buyers who want to store programs on the HDD first and then archive selected content to disc instead of keeping everything on one drive.
Q: Is this a good choice for a 4K TV, or is it only for Full HD playback?
A: It can suit a 4K TV because Panasonic lists 4K upscaling on these Blu-ray models, which can improve how Blu-ray and DVD content is output on an Ultra HD screen. It is not the same as native Ultra HD Blu-ray playback.
Q: Why choose this Panasonic recorder over an HDD-only twin tuner recorder?
A: Because this model adds Blu-ray and DVD recording and playback as well as a 500GB hard drive and twin HD tuner. That gives more flexibility if you want to keep shows on the HDD, then move selected recordings to disc for longer-term storage.
