I have owned the Panasonic for number of months now, I have found it to be an excellent device, the EPG is quick, the DVD will play all types of disks and as yet it has burnt to a wide verity of media makes and brands without any problems. My wife is a complete technophobe but has used most of the devices features without looking at the instructions! All in all I am extremely pleased with device.

Excellent machine and superb picture quality, but all X75 have a fault, they keep showing fault U81. When you contact Panasonic they tell you to return to shop for exchange, but replacements still show this error. The shops will only exchange products so much.

Excellent DVD recorder, nice and slim,picture and sound great,easy to use. Only drawback they keep showing Error code U81 when no fault is present. Panasonic say return to shop for repairs but they cannot find any faults.

Great machine except for that U81 error code which keeps popping up. Best recorder on the market. Really needs that error code sorting. All Panasonic say is take it back to the shop. but all EX75 have the same fault.

I used to have a JVC DRM1 DVD recorder. This recorder had an overheating problem in standby. Lucky that I had an extended warranty.

I agree with others, it is a great gadget and is easy to use, I too get fault U81 from time to time, but by switching it off/on, it clears. But mine has a strange ticking noise when it is on which varies in volume... it stops when in sleep mode. Any clues?

I have had the EX85 which is a superb piece of kit. This and the 75 only differ with the hard drive capacity and it seems, U81 errors. Recordings are so good I only watch stuff I've recorded. The machine is massively versatile being able to record to all types of standard def DVD media, edit programs with down-to-the-frame precision plus more. The ability to record and playback at the same time is great. The SD card slot is great for showing photos. The U81 error code that most EX75 owners seem to have, are not present in the EX85 but I hope that Panasonic release a firmware update (with full instructions) that addresses this. Oh, also it looks so much better than the recently released ones.

I have owned the EX75 for over a year and, fortunately, I have never experienced the U81 error mentioned here. It's a fantastic recorder with fantastic picture quality when connected to an HD TV via its HDMI port.
