Capture your favorite television programs on durable DVDs with Panasonic's DMR-ES25. This recorder gives you all of the convenience and flexibility of a VCR, but with the crisp, clear picture of DVD. And one-touch recording makes it a snap to capture the programs you like.
Higher resolution playback
If you've got a high-def-capable television with a digital video input, your DVD movies will look even better — this recorder can upconvert regular DVD video to a resolution that better matches your TV. And digital photo fans will also appreciate the 'ES25's ability to display pictures stored on SD cards using a front-panel slot. Music fans can play their favorite CDs and homemade discs loaded with MP3 files.
Archive your existing recordings
You can also back up your home videos using this deck's handy front-panel inputs. Hook up your VCR to make durable DVD copies of your home-recorded VHS tapes. Or connect your digital camcorder, and create multiple copies of last year's reunion to share with your family.
Easy, convenient control
Panasonic's EZ Sync™ control makes it easy to turn on your system for movie night. Just connect this deck to a compatible Panasonic plasma TV using HDMI. A push of a button on the remote turns on both the deck and the TV, and automatically switches the television to the correct input. You won't need to fumble with multiple remotes every time you want to watch a movie — just settle in for a great show.

Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
