The Panasonic Diga DMR-EX79-EBK combines a DVD recorder, high capacity hard drive and a Freeview tuner in a sleek compact design. The 250GB hard drive is capable of recording up to 440 hours footage, and it’s not just TV content that you are able to store. USB inputs allow both digital photos and music to be transferred to the hard drive for convenient storage and playback.
The EX79 also features a HDMI terminal. When connected to a HD ready TV, your DVDs will be up-scaled to quality on a par with high definition. This impressive machine offers recording and playback of a wide variety of formats including DVD-RAM, DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW.
A clever Navi Link Search function also allows you to record from the TV listings. Simply enter its title or a keyword, and Navi Link will search for it to facilitate recording. And when you’re recording a TV programme, the EX79 will automatically determine where new scenes begin by ‘listening’ to the voices in the programme. It then automatically inserts chapter marks at those places, making it easy to skip over adverts and start playback from a particular point.
