I am returning this unit as I cannot make it record to the 4 hour DVD format. I have no use for 2 hour DVD’s.

Also, if you intend using this with a Tivo – forget about it. The hook-up is very complicated. I tried for a day, failed, and called in an audio-video expert. He gave up. There was no way that the Tivo recordings could be sent to the Panasonic.

Expensive, complicated junk.

I used to be an early adopter of new electronics, can edit my system registry in Windows, and have a doctoral degree, but I have to spend time reading and re-reading the manual when trying to accomplish (what should be) simple tasks. Maybe Panasonic made things easier for the new model (48VK)--I would advise not buying it until others have reviewed the unit and its ease of use.

Does the Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK 1080p have the capability to do that in addition to it's VHS and DVD functions.
