 Superb bit of kit August 16, 2008
This product arrived about midday today. Set up was a doddle; HDMI lead into back of telly, RDF leads In and Out and away it goes. About 5 minutes to scan for channels; press Guide for programmes, Select and Record. How easy can it be? Read the manual, set for 1080p up-scaling and watch a DVD - Brilliant! Get one, it's a no-brainer.

Good, as usual with Panasonic.
Its main advantage over other disc recorders is that the LP mode (allowing you to put about 4 hr 15 mins onto a DVD) has the same 500 lines of resolution as the SP mode which makes it very economical. I can't tell the difference on my (relatively small screened) TV between LP and SP and consequently usually use the former. Possibly there is a noticeable difference on larger screens.
A slight disappointment is that the inbuilt Freeview receiver doesn't seem quite as good as my old external Panasonic TU-CT41 box.
A step backwards is the abysmal "Guide Plus" EPG which replaces the old Freeview guide. It has space-wasting and distracting high contrast adverts on the left (mostly for BBC magazines) which change frequently making the whole thing so difficult, slow and unpleasant to use that I've reverted to using my external box for programme information.
 Digital Freeview picture processing poor. Sony better. August 7, 2008

Suprised after reading such happy reviews but I guess I'm more fussy.
Had it connected to a new Samsung 6 series 1080P 100Hz TV.
The 768 couldn't keep up with it's processing of the picture producing a too edgy & shadowy image. Also skin tones changed in areas on a still close up shot. Bottom of picture screen shows several lines badly smudged and an annoying blue line on half of last line of pixels (somehow linked to an on screen menu).
The machine is trying too hard to get the definition expected, which it cannot provide. Adjusted settings (with good advice on this machines settings and my TV) but no settings proved to solve the main problem of a poor freeview picture quality delivered by this machine.
The EPG with Guideplus is annoying as small and has advert involved.
Machine hardware design has no obvious record or DVD play buttons etc on the unit for the younger or persons with less experience with its remote.
Antiquated & over complicated DVD Door opening is reminiscent of the French !
Cannot comment on DVD playback or recording, as it had to go.
So If you want this machine for digital freeview I would advise against it.
Sony HDD DVD recorder Digital freeview picture processing quality is far smoother and in my opinion better.
Rant over !
PS
The Doctor should be struck off !

This is the second panasonic dvd recorder that I have bought and it is a real gem. You can forget live tv. You will record everything and watch what you want,when you want to. I still have the older one which is not digital so I can record two programmes at the same time but only one is digital.
