From the Manufacturer 1080p Up-Conversion 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. Digital Tuner Capable The high-performance hybrid digital tuner is capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. And even when digital signals drop out because of interference with direct signal access, which makes the picture either disappear or become filled with block noise, the Digital Tuner still produces a beautiful picture. Easy Operation with VIERALink™ 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. Expansion of Usages The Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK 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. Universal Design All of our 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. Review: Very good condition works perfectly - Was pleasantly surprised! It worked perfectly! I was well wrapped and arrived in good condition. I specifically bought it to transfer my class videos and home videos to dvd so I could enjoy them without worry of damaging them. I have spent hours watching them again. Thank you so much! Review: Excellent machine (thus far) - I have been in the market for a new dvd recorder since roughly 2005 when my old Philips machine died. so, after lots of research..i decided on this model. It arrived in great condition and i had it set up within minutes. This machine has extra features on it like Front RCA Inputs, SD Card Slot and easy dubbing from VHS/DVD (note you cannot copy commerical bought movies with this machine. Setup is fairly easy for someone with Mediocre Electronics Expertise, but if you are a novice, you may wanna read the entire manual before beginning. The manual is written in such a way that there are lots of pictures to illustrate what will be displayed when you push each button. You can also record to DVD-RAM Discs using this unit, however, don't expect to find them at retail. You will have to order them online if you wanna go this route for recording. you can record to DVD+RW discs and DVD+R discs. however this unit can record to other types of discs as well. Picture quality is VERY good. i even recorded a bunch of stuff on the low quality setting and was quite impressed with the quality. keep in mind though the quality is only going to be as good as your signal from your cable or sattelite provider. Meaning if you have lines through the picture/distortion, its going to show up on your recorded DVDs. I have only had this unit roughly for a week or so..but it's doing GREAT right now..will post update to this review after a while. ***update**** 1/2/2011**** this unit performs beautifully with a HDTV. just grab a HDMI cable and you are all set. Dvd's look beautiful on this, even movies that were once vhs, converted to dvd look perfect. I don't think you can unlock the true performance of this unit until you use a HDMI cable with a hdtv set. granted, its not the BLU Ray experience you are craving, but it's pretty close! ## Features - 1080p Upconversion via HDMI.

Are you having an issue with the set-up menu? I assume the RC means the remote for your programming? Many options are contingent on setting the time and date. Do you still have your manual? If not, I think you can get one from Panasonic's website, but not sure. **Q: Can this vcr DVDs record 3 hours** A: Yes, you can select 1:2 hrs 2:00hrs 2:30 hrs 3:00 hrs **Q: What’s can you have your unit repaired? We had a lightning strike and the unit doesn’t power up now!** A: I wonder if it would be worthwhile to repair vs. purchasing a new unit. I personally would not repair it. In the future plug into a surge suppressor. Try this: Pull the plug for a few minutes. Then plug it back in. Then hold down the power button continuously for one minute. If it does not reboot, say good-bye. **Q: Do you have to have VIERALink™ for it to work?** A: I don't know what a vieralink is. I hooked it up to the incoming cable from either a satellite box or cable company, an it works. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good condition works perfectly *by C***. on February 26, 2026* Was pleasantly surprised!

It will function perfectly for some time, then exhibit a flaw as follows: Regardless what TV channel is selected and displayed in its display, the tuner will be stuck on one channel and always output that signal to both of the recording media and to the TV. As this fault was exhibited on my first two units, I returned them to Costco where I had purchased them. On the second unit, I found that rerunning setup would restore normal operation, but after the second occurrence, simply initiating that procedure didn't cure the problem. In reading the comments of other purchasers, I found that if power to the unit is entirely removed, and the unit restarted as if for the first time, the setup procedure would restore normal operation. The only other make of VCR/DVD player I could find locally was Magnavox, sold by both Walmart and Radio Shack. I had prior experience with the Magnavox, very unsatisfactory. Much less user-friendly than the Panasonic, and the VCR failed completely just after the 90 day warranty period from Walmart. One key functional disadvantage was that there was no convenient way to completely delete all items that had been recorded on a DVD; it would allow the deletion of only one item at a time, then move directly into the programming sequence for a new recording. Currently, neither Costco, Walmart or Radio Shack carry the Panasonic, so I checked out Amazon.com. The only other available brand I had not yet tried was Toshiba, which all reviewers rated as very user-unfriendly, accompanied by very difficult-to-understand instructions. Soooo, I purchased my 3rd Panasonic VCR/DVD recorder via Amazon. I've been using it now for some time, and it hasn't yet malfunctioned, but I fully expect to encounter the same failure mode. A significant difficulty is that repeating the setup procedure takes between 20 and 30 minutes, driven by a long interval attempting automatic clock setting, and there seems to be no way to go through the channel setup and not have the clock setting feature also exercised. Automatic clock setting has never succeeded in our case. If the malfunction is first discovered when one is attempting to program a recording session, a significant portion of what you wanted to record will have gone by before you can successfully begin recording again. On the plus side, picture quality and user-friendliness are great. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/17850080-dmr-ez48vp-k-1080p-upconverting-vhs-dvd-recorder-with-built](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/17850080-dmr-ez48vp-k-1080p-upconverting-vhs-dvd-recorder-with-built) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
