The Accutune digital tuner produces a beautiful picture even under difficult reception conditions.
This DVD recorder offers twice the horizontal resolution (500 lines) of many other DVD recorders when recording in LP mode. It means you can fit up to four hours of recordings on one DVD (4.7GB capacity) and still enjoy the crisp, vibrant and exceptionally detailed images. Panasonic DVD recorders are equipped with a high-precision progressive video processor that handles 30-frame progressive scan images on NTSC discs.
