Panasonic DMR-EX98V review

By Martin Pipe (techradar.com)

Do you still have VHS tapes that you want to play – or, better still, transfer to DVD? Then Panasonic's smart-looking DMR-EX98V could be for you. As a DVD recorder-cum-VCR-cum-hard disk drive, it's certainly an interesting proposal.

Excellent AV erformance ; Sensibly-featured digital recorder

VHS-only VCR ; No analogue tuner ; No infra-red control over STB

Panasonic DMR-EX98V DVD/HDD/VHS Recorder

By Danny Phillips (trustedreviews.com)

Award: Recommended!

Panasonic's DMR-EX98V isn't cheap, but it does a fine job of combining modern recording formats with VHS.

The DMR-EX98V is a really impressive piece of kit - flexible, convenient and surprisingly easy to use considering the vast amount of features on board. And in terms of picture quality the Panasonic is near flawless, whether it's live, recorded or on...

There are certain areas where rival recorders have the edge, such as Pioneer's 32-stage recording modes and the ability to store DivX on the hard-disk, plus at around £500 the EX98V is not cheap. However if none of this is an issue then the DMR-E98V...

Manufacturer's Description


Panasonic has developed the DMR-EX98V with even higher image quality. Picture quality is better. DVB-T adaptive noise reduction detects and removes the block noise that often occurs in digital broadcasts, to produce beautiful images with minimal noise. And the enhanced quality of 1080p up-conversion and rich color gradation of deep color compatibility are seen in deeper, higher-resolution images. The diagonal processing automatically detects diagonal lines in motion images, and converts them to sharp lines. The VIERA link function of the DMR-EX98V is more advanced. Auto preset download does away with the need to make channel and other initial the DMR-EX98V settings. Direct TV record lets the user start recording the TV program that is currently being watched by simply pressing the VIERA link button on the VIERA remote and selecting direct TV record pause live TV pause a TV program with the same ease as pausing a DVD disc. The rest of the program can then be watched at a later time, right from the point where it was paused. The DMR-EX98V is equipped with a USB terminal and an SD card slot, so images from a digital still camera can be easily transferred. A large-capacity hard disk drive lets users store music data and turns the DMR-EX98V into a virtual jukebox. It supports gracenote, in short, the DMR-EX98V goes far beyond the point of easy video entertainment to function as a personal digital media server. To enjoy viewing movies recorded on an SD memory card, simply copy the MPEG2 movie data to the hard disk drive or DVD-RAM and then play back. Also the DMR-EX98V automatically recognizes images that you've uploaded from SD memory card. In the SP mode recording, 384Kbps high sound quality recording provides audio quality approaching that of commercially available the DMR-EX98V movie software. Even with music containing a wide range of tones, such as orchestral performances, the sound of individual instruments are beautifully reproduced.
