Panasonic has announced the market introduction of the Panasonic DMR-BS850 and DMR-BS750 Blu-ray Disc Recorders.

Both new models are compatible with freesat+, making it easy to view and capture high image quality digital satellite broadcasts.

Both the Panasonic DMR-BS850 and DMR-BS750 are fitted with twin tuners, which make it possible to record two TV programmes at the same time. When the recorder is used inconjunction with Panasonic’s VIERA flat-panel TV, users can utilise Panasonic’s link functions which allow the viewer to use the VIERA TV’s remote control to record in a way that is similar to pausing a live TV programme.

Programmes that have been recorded and stored in the hard disk drive can be converted to the H.264 format and saved. By compressing data more compactly than standard DR (Direct Record) mode recording, the H.264 format lets viewers use their hard disk drive space more efficiently or store more TV programmes on a single Blu-ray Disc.

Up to 24 hours of HD content can be stored on one Blu-ray disc (in high speed copy mode), meaning you could get a whole series of your favourite programmes on just one disc.

For outstanding playback performance, both the DMR-BS850 and DMR-BS750 feature high-quality PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus and P4HD, two technology systems that earned high acclaim in Panasonic Blu-ray Disc players.

In terms of audio, the new Panasonic DMR-BS850 and BS750 support the superior surround sound of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-Master Audio Essential on Blu-ray Disc media. Users can connect the recorder to a compatible amplifier and enjoy the stunningly high quality 7.1-channel surround sound of Blu-ray Discs.

The new recorders can save images from an HD camcorder or LUMIX digital camera onto the built-in hard disk drive or a Blu-ray Disc™. In the past, you needed to use a computer or other device to save images like these, but Panasonic’s new models make it easy to create discs right in the living room. Music CDs also can be recorded onto the hard disk drive. The three recorders are compatible with gracenote®, so song titles and artist names are automatically recorded together with the music.

The new recorders also support Panasonic’s VIERA CAST Internet function, so users can easily access Internet content such as YouTube™ and Picasa™ Web Albums and view it on a large-screen TV.

Making it easy for anyone to record, play and save Full HD content, the new DMR-BS850, DMR-BS750 and Panasonic DMR-XS350 digital recorders from Panasonic bring users a big step forward into the HD age.
