Pros: Reasonable set of features, good connections, digital ATSC turner. Cons: Does not record broadcast TV to VHS tapes, inept customer service. Review: The product (Panasonic DMR-EZ485V?DVDR/VCR) is a good product, reasonable set of features, but misleading on capability descriptions. Purchased unit due to change-over to digital TV. from Shopping.com I've owned this model for 3 months now and really hate it. It frequently freezes when turning on which means I'm forever resetting it to use it AND not getting the shows I program it to record. What's the point of owning a DVD recorder if it doesn't record??? from Amazon.com I've used this product daily for about 7 months and generally, this is a good product with good reliable features. Nice machine to copy all of your VHS to DVD and to record TV shows on. from Amazon.com And whats up with the total freeze out when it has a reading problem??? I had to unplug it and spend about 10 minutes trying to make it play again. I am soooo done with Panasonic junk. DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK!!! from Amazon.com Panasonic DMR-EZ485VK 1080p Upconverting DVD Recorder / VCR Combo with Built In Tuner This unit surpassed my expectations after a previous bad experience with a Panasonic hard drive DVR. from Amazon.com This machine replaced an RCA VCR/DVD combo unit which burned up and died within 6 months. I have never actually hooked up my Panasonic to cable or antenna. from Amazon.com Unfortunately, the unit is riddled with bugs and success rate is about 2/3, the other 1/3 of production yields discs that are readable only on the unit itself, the discs seemingly unfinalized. The best success I have had is when I allow the VHS to play fully and when the unit stops playing it, catch it before it falls asleep or crashes and either accept it's request to finalize disc or eject the disc if the finalization appears to have completed automatically as originally chosen at the beginning of the recording. Thumbs down, Panasonic, as usual they either build stunningly good and reliable product or [...]. This unit is [...]. from Amazon.com The owner's manual clearly states this on page 18. I was thinking of buying it before I read that. I have the JVC DRMV100B 1080p Upconverting DVD Recorder VCR Combo with Built-in Tuner. I don't like the remote for the unit but It does record digital broadcast to video tape when I want to record to video tape. from Amazon.com I bought this unit to replace a VCR. I use DVD+RW disc and record at the LP setting which gives me 4 hours. from Amazon.com I purchased this unit at Costco to replace an similar, older Panasonic with an analog tuner. The older unit was very reliable. from Amazon.com
