Smart Ready
The Panasonic DMR-PWT550EB 500Gb Smart HDD/DVD Recorder is enabled with Wi-Fi so it can access a range of online applications from Netflix, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and All 4 to social media like Facebook and Twitter. No matter which movies or video clips you are watching, they will be streamed in near-4K quality for a crystal clear, immersive viewing experience. Other Smart features include screen mirroring and multi-room compatibility.
High quality, 3D pictures
Even with a Full HD Blu-ray DVD, this Panasonic Blu-ray player can deliver high levels of detail. Compatible with Full HD 3D TVs, it can also convert 2D to 3D which makes it ideal for your active or passive 3D TV. And with the latest Adaptive Chrome Processing technology, each pixel is precisely processed in the vertically or horizontal directions for a more true-to-life colour reproduction.
Record in HD
The Panasonic DMR-PWT550EB features twin Freeview HD tuners, which means that not only can you pause and rewind live TV but can also record two different channels at the same time.
