Panasonic DMR-PWT550EB Blu-Ray Player and HDD Recorder with Freeview Play, Black

Product Information

This model is a total disaster with the majority of the features removrd or cut down to the point of uselessness. Barring some of the cheap ‘n’ nasty TVs that might employ low quality scalers, we don’t think this particular feature of the PWT550 will bring all that much benefit to users.

The DMR-PWT550 comes with classic Panasonic remote, sporting the usual array of chunky rubber buttons. party content providers may remove Apps from the Smart TV platform or stop supporting them at any time, and we cannot guarantee an App’s availability. I converted BBC One HD’s Doctors into HE and HM mode, and aside from slightly softer edges, it’s very hard to tell the difference. I've recently bought an LG to using there new Web OS operation system along with there magic remote. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year.The Panasonic DMR-PWT550EB features twin Freeview HD tuners, which means that not only can you pause and rewind live TV but can also record two different channels at the same time.

And the Panasonic App system on this device is as out of date as it was on the last Panasonic plasma I bought and that was just as useless then as it is now on this device. There’s not a lot that can be done with the substandard, bit-starved, channels that proliferate Freeview but that’s not any fault of this player. Using the colour-coded buttons, you can skip to a particular day and time, or jump to the current programme. br>
3D playback including 2D to 3D conversion
As you'd expect from Panasonic, the DMRPWT550EB offers a detailed and natural picture quality. You are also unable to change any settings while a recording is taking place and using the EPG when watching a previously recorded event sees you placed back in to live TV upon exit; it’s sometimes useful to be able to see what’s coming on later or schedule another recording while watching one so we’d like to see this addressed also.The DMR-PWT550 also brings all the PVR functionality we know and love, such as series recording, pause/rewind live TV and clash alerts. This achieves a stunning picture which displays images in a more vibrant colour and in more detail too. The Panasonic DMR-PWT550EB offers an abundance of great entertainment and a host of image-enhancing functions. Turned the unit on and followed the very easy instructions, everything went according to instruction and well less than 10 minutes it was up and working.

Enjoy an 8-day forward and 7-day backward programme guide, and keep track of your shows from one screen. Press OK while watching TV and a Freeview Play sidebar appears, allowing you to access the EPG or Catch Up menu. The function and availability of apps is not covered by the manufacturer’s or Richer Sounds’ guarantee. Playback, record, stream and catch-up - it's all possible on the multi-tasking Panasonic DMRPWT550EB.br>
