Panasonic DMR-EZ28K

The Panasonic DMR-EZ28V DVD recorder is equipped with an SD Memory Card slot and USB terminal, which makes it easy to view photos from your digital camera. Just slip the SD card into the slot or use the cable to connect the camera to the USB terminal, and you're ready to enjoy a spectacular big-screen slideshow with family and friends. You can even listen to music recorded onto a USB device while viewing your photos.

By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, SD format data is up-converted to 1080 x 1920p HD format video data.  This conversion increases the richness of the original data nearly sixfold, producing the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV.

All of Panasonic's DVD recorder models are designed in compliance with Panasonic's Universal Design principles.  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.

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 VIERALink™, you don't have to worry about setting the recorder to the right channel every time you want to record something.
