Hi Les, thank you for looking at purchasing our product. Yes the DVD section can be enhanced to play all regions of DVDs, unfortunately however the player will only be able to play region C Blu Ray discs or those (like Paramount releases) that are region free when sold. The player has a composite video input for PAL/NSTC. For more information on the specs of this unit: http://www.panasonic.com/au/consumer/players-recorders/recorders/dmr-bwt835.specs.html. MCB

i am in the united states, and i’m thinking of purchasing the dmr-bwt835 i know the unit can be modified to play all region discs. but what about the recorded blu ray discs, what region would those be recorded in? would the region be region 0 for the recorded dvds and also does the unit support both ntsc and pal formats? thanks.

Is there any chance in the future where Panasonic will release a more professional model similar to the JVC blue rays (but without the bug bears) to allow archiving and custom menu creation functions, or is the writing on the wall for DVD recorders as purchasable items?

Hi,
I have a DMR XW300. Runs great. Is there a way I can connect an Apple TV unit to it ? I cant connect direct to the TV because my unit is a ‘screen’ only, an older model Fujitsu Plasma attachd to the DMR XW….so I need to connect direct to the trusty Panasonic somehow. I not the HDMI port on the Panasonic is HDMI OUT.
thanks…any help appreciated.
Gary

Hi Gilda, we would recommend contacting Panasonic in the UK for the exact operation of the model you have. Each manual will detail how to finalise the disc, but please contact Panasonic UK team who will walk you thru the operations. http://www.panasonic.com/uk/support.html SB

Hi. I bought a dmr-bwt740 here in England in May as soon as it came out. There seems to be a problem with some finalising. In particular, if I record and then copy a film to a dvd-r using ep it copies, plays back and finalises perfectly. BUT when I tried to finalilise 13 22-minute episodes of Cirque Soleil (again on ep speed) it won’t finalise. It does copy (and says there’s plenty of room left on the dvd) and plays back perfectly. However it refuses to finalise. It just “hangs” for hours and I have to remove the plug and reinsert it to get the machine to work.

I’m doing exactly what I used to do on my old Panasonic EX 98 and using the same discs and speed.

Has Panasonic changed something? If so, how can I finalise series recordings?

Please help. If I can’t finalise then I won’t be able to play these on a different player if and when it inevitably breaks down.

In reply to gordon. Hi Gordon, our units are region coded. However they can be unlocked by a repair agent & under warranty this is a complimentary service. We wish you all the best with your move to the UK! MCB
