After 9 months...kaput
I have had this machine for 9 months and it has been okay. Plays DVD's in very good quality. It does not record in HD to DVD from a cable box. It is grainy to say the least downgrades to 480P for recording...sucks! Somewhat difficult to setup machine; now does not work, shows U99 on display and is frozen, only turns on and off and displays U99. Power down and back up=U99. Still under warranty but have to take it 261 miles away for warranty work. Cost of mailing is ridiculous. This thing is going in the trash.

Worked great until...
I purchased this unit August 2007. There weren't many on the market then, and the cost was approx. bet. $250-$300. Took a bit to get the hang of and had a few initial questions/problems which cust. service helped with. The unit was not perfect, but worked fine for my needs.
I recently lost power for 11 hours due to a storm. When the power came back, the unit was not funtioning properly. Tried everything possible to reset it. There is a one year warranty, but since mine ran out, customer service suggested to send it for repair which could cost over $100! Very disappointed.
Informed that unit should be plugged into a surge protector as opposed to a wall outlet. I will do that in the future. Now need to start from scratch researching other products. Specifically looking for a VCR/DVD combo which allows recording on both discs and vhs tapes and has a digital tuner. I haven't seen many with glowing reviews. ho hum.

Good features, but not reliable
We've had this DVD/VCR combo for a little over a year. Now the DVD tray is stuck shut with a dvd inside it.
It did a pretty good job recording and playing DVDs, but it was sensitive to locking up with anything recorded on another machine and with any scratch.
Overall, I think it had potential - Panasonic just needed to get the bugs worked out.

Nice unit overall
This unit is nice, and works well. The only issue I have had for it is that certain DVD's images tile and scramble on this unit that work just fine on other DVD players (including a computer). I don't know what is going on there but it only happens to a very small number of my DVD's.
The VCR works great and it records TV very well. The SD slot is nice also. The method of switching between the SD, DVD and VCR inputs is very intuitive. The unit receives basic cable very well and the picture is improved over the TV (which is almost 5 years old now) connection on its own. Over all it is a nice unit. And I do suggest it for those who are in need of a nice DVD-VHS combo. I haven't used the HD aspects or the VHS-DVD copying features, but what I do have used is nice.

Waste of Money
I have the Panasonic DMR-EZ47V for almost 8 months. It gave me a lots of trouble. First of all it freezes most of the times. The units gets hot within 4-5 hours of operations. I have to unplag the power cord to reduce the temparature. I have sent it to the Panasonic repair ( Elk Grove Village,IL) and they says the unit is fine. When they returned the DVD player to me, the cover on the top of the one touch dubbing button is broken. The unit still gets hot within 4-5 hours operations. My other units on the shelves are not gets hot like this. I have called the Panasonic for the broken piece issue. I am not sure if I can get the replacement or refunds. I will not buy any more Panasonic product again.
