Panasonic TUCTH100 Review

Good Points
TU-CTH100, high quality Panasonic design features. Good Picture quality. Reasonable manual although not up to usual Panasonic standards.

Bad Points
Several complete lock-ups. 'Stop' recording failures. Occasional pixel break-up. Programme change, slow to re-act.

General Comments
I have found the Panasonic TUCTH100 to be more reliable than previous two Pace units. Good design features and informative front panel information. High quality picture. Manual needs to be read several times to get to grips with some of the features & procedures; could do with a rewrite. Most annoying problems are complete lock-ups requiring disconnection from mains to reset unit, refusal to stop recordings ahead of scheduled time and long (several seconds in some cases) delays between programme changes. Only rare pixel break-up on live transmission.
