Product Description:
By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, SD format data is up-converted to 1080 x 1920p HD format video data. This conversion increases the richness of the original data by almost six fold, producing the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV.Connect your Panasonic DVD recorder to your VIERA flat-panel HDTV via an HDMI cable, and the TV channel setting information is automatically downloaded to the recorder. Once the Auto Preset Download is complete, the DVD recorder will keep whichever TV channel you're watching as its receiving channel. This means you can record the program you're watching by just pressing the Record button on the VIERA remote. With VIERALink, you don't have to worry about setting the recorder to the right channel every time you want to record something.The Panasonic DMR-EA38VK DVD recorder is equipped with an SD Memory Card slot and USB terminal, which makes it easy to view photos from your digital camera. Just slip the SD card into the slot or use the cable to connect the camera to the USB terminal, and you're ready to enjoy a spectacular big-screen slideshow with family and friends. You can even listen to music recorded onto a USB device while viewing your photos.All of Panasonic DVD recorder models are designed in compliance with Panasonic's Universal Design principles. Frequently used buttons (Power, Open/Close) are located at the top of the main unit to make them easier to see when the unit is placed in a rack and you need to look down when operating it. Both the remote control and graphical user interface (GUI) were designed for easy use by everyone, based on the results of a Panasonic survey.

- Confusing manual
I am a video professional and needed this unit to convert a stack of VHS to DVD. I did not need a tuner for digital reception (and saved quite a bit by passing on that option.) The machine did this conversion accurately and and I am pleased with it. However, the instruction manual is a hot mess of options, weird graphics and hard to follow logic which made the initial set up confusing and very annoying. But ... it did the job and the price is right. I would recommend it but be prepared to scratch ... Read More

- Works great, manual could be better
I wanted a dvd/VHS deck as most reviewers suggest, to copy VHS tapes to DVD. I should begin by saying I have worked in television broadcasting for 40 years and can figure out most electronics (as well as Ikea furniture). I found the unit to be a little hard to figure out, but this might be my own expectations that it's more complicated than it really is. The manual attempts to describe what are really simple controls in a somewhat confusing way.
Since I use it only for copying VHS, I ... Read More
Rating: - Panasonic DMR-EA38VK VHS DVD Recorder
I first became acquainted with a Panasonic DVD recorder about 2 years ago,
when I bought the DMR-ES30V.As with all electronics, it had a limited lifetime, but what a great unit it was---I recorded over 300 DVD's.
No hestitation to buy another Panasonic!This DMR-EA38VK is easy to set up, and especially easy to use.One great feature is "Flexible Recording", which allows the user to set the time to be recorded, such as 2-1/2 hours on one DVD, instead of 2 hours on one, then the remaining ... Read More

This machine worked great for copying VHS to DVD. The only thing I don't like is the inputs are limted.
Rating: - Great product but do your homework.
While this is an excellent product, it was the wrong choice for me.The online description said you could record television broadcasts to vhs for analog, and digital broadcasts to several kinds of dvd.What it didn't say was that in order to do this, you need a set top box or converter box attached to the recorder.I knew it was a tunerless recorder, but I didn't think you needed a built in tuner if hooked up to a TV set.For another $20 I got the same Panasonic model with a tuner and sent this one ...
