    Good Points: Good picture quality & good editing facility with the ram disks.


    Bad Points: Problems reading Ram disks then normal disks.


    General comments: I bought a DMR-E50 12 months ago & within 2 months it had to be replaced as it was not reading the RAM disks or any unfinalized disks that I still wanted to record on. Panasonic did replace the recorder but this 1 is doing exactly the same & my warranty has just expired by a few days so I will now have to pay for the repair myself or use it as a £300 player. Not good getting the same problem from 2 recorders within 12 months. A good recorder whilst it worked but I would recommend that people !!!DO NOT!!! buy Panosonic. P.S. I use verbatim DVD-R disks (they are meant to be 1 of the best in the world) so its not the fault of using poor disks.

    After having the Panasonic DMR-E50 EBS for some time now I can say how pleased I am that I bought a Panasonic instead of some of the others on the market

    The Panasonic DMR-E50 is a great entry-level DVD recorder. Ideally suited for recording digital broadcasts. Simple to use, thanks to powerful, yet logical menus. Ideal for connecting to a source (such as a sky digibox) where there is only 1 RGB output, as the DMR-E50 will pass-through this signal when in standby. Time slip is absolutely great, allowing you to start watching a programme that is still being recorded (DVD-RAM only). My main regret is not spending the extra money needed to buy a mod ...

    It's the best of all worlds with a TIVO and the Panasonic DMR-E50 EBS. My son said it all, "Dad we have awesome technology". I like recording everything using the Tivo, then recording on DVD selected shows and documentaries, to relieve Tivo of needed HD space. It's the best of all worlds! I also bought the Panasonic 5 DVD/CD Player so everything recorded on the DMR-E50 works well together. I love the feature of the front Panasonic (L2) inputs for my new Sony DVD Handycam. I can now start to sav ...

    I do not understand the Panasonic DMR-E50 DVD Recorder, for some reason music levels overpower speech such that speech is almost impossible to hear.

    It is not the DVD, nor the scart plug as i have changed both.

    Even recording from the TV is a minor problem with sound levels and in order to hear correctly it is necassary to play back on only one channel.

    I was looking forward to useing this Panasonic DMR-E50 EBS DVD recorder to collect my favourite movies on DVDs and be able to play them in my laptop when travelling or in a standalone DVD player in another room. Unfortunaly this cannot be done so I am very dissapointed.

    Fiddly and difficult to use also, more complicated than most VCRs.

    Image quality is fine for SP and XP but recording cannot exceed 2 hours. LP quality no better than standard VCR.

    Bought my Panasonic DMR-E50 EBS DVD Recorder from a catalogue because its easy to "try before you buy". The main thing for me is picture quality which was very good and good in 1 hour and 2 hour modes,ok ish and poor in 4 and 6 hour modes.So what is the use of haveing a recorder that can only record for 2 hrs with a decent picture??
    The reason i can say this is i also ordered a JVC S-VHS video recorder and compaired them together.The picture quality on the video was the same as the 2 hour mode ...

    OK I'll be honest, I only just got this Panasonic DMR-E50 machine and haven't done a lot with it.
    I've managed to set it up easily to play DVDs and the tuner is an absolute piece of cake to tune in. In automatic mode you just press go and it finds all the channels it can. The auto fine tuning is also good, I couldn't improve on it manually.
    Playing DVDs it does an excellent job, OK for the same money there are better dedicated DVD players but considering it's a recorder too it is more than ade ...

    The Panasonic DMR - E50 EBS is a well designed and easy to use recorder. Can store up to 6hrs on a DVD-R or DVD-RAM in EP mode with virtually no perceivable loss in picture quality.
    The functions available while recording on DVD-RAM are comprehensive. They include Time-Slip which allows you to playback what you are recording with a 30 second (or more) delay. This is great for confirming what is being recorded but has limited use otherwise. Since the playback process is independent of the rec ...
