Hi John, certainly sounds like code :-)
The 250GB HD is the hard drive that you can record programmes on (or copy sound/picture files to). HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface and carries picture and sound from a DVD player/set top box to a TV/Monitor. jpg/tiff are file formats for pictures. I had to research all that, I just read it off the box earlier :-)) |

My patience ran out, as usual :-(
I ordered a Panasonic DMR-EX85 EB-S (such a memorable name) from SVP yesterday afternoon and it arrived just after lunch today. So, good delivery, but there was no manual in the box so it will be interesting to see if SVP are as good as their reputation! frogman...
It has analogue and digital tuners, a 250GB HD, HDMI (but I don't have a suitable monitor to try that), DVD player/recorder with optical audio out and 2 x SCART (both with RGB). It set itself up and worked 'out of the box' finding all the Freeview channels (although BBC is a bit iffy). It also plays a broad range of DVD/CD - I burned a DVD -r with MP3's and it plays those with a nice menu system, it is supposed to do the same with jpg/tiff but I've not tested that yet. I ordered a spindle of 50 x DVD -r at the same time - £12.50, that would have been £50 a year ago! It's looking good so far, sound quality is good (it seems to be recognised as digital by my amp even for the Freeview channels and the connected Sky box). I need to get together with Saxman to see how his new TV and my PVR work using HDMI :-) Rabbit...
