Panasonic has always been a market-leader when it comes to DVD players and recorders, and the DMR-EX77 is another standout.
The DMR-EX77 is a combination DVD/HDD recorder with a built-in standard-definition digital tuner - which is a very nice package considering the $549 recommended retail price (although you can pick it up for less in-store... so read on).
It boasts a 160GB HDD and recording to this is both excellent and easy to do, thanks to the one-touch recording feature and time-shift function. Thankfully, the remote control is also easy to master, as is the built-in editing tool.
As there is only one tuner you can't watch one channel while you're recording another, however there's no problem if you want to recording to the hard drive while you're watching a pre-recorded show or DVD.
The DMR-EX77 DVD recorder can also upscale DVDs to 1080p, which is a nice touch but a little superfluous given there's only a standard-definition tuner within the unit.
Betta Electrical is currently offering the Panasonic DMR-EX77 for $498 - find out more here or find offers on other Panasonic DVD recorders here.
