Summary: I use this as a 1080p upconverting DVD player, which it does very well. I also burn DVDs directly from my camcorder via a firewire cable and it does that very well. I haven't used it for a tuner for HD channels so I can't speak to that. The menu is good except that if you select a video output that isn't supported it locks you out without falling back to a supported resolution. Overall it does the two things I use it for very well, but isn't perfect.

Summary: Very slow in changing Digital channels between 5 to 10 seconds, has incorrect channel status window, it has frozen-up on me multiple times and I had to unplug the power cord to reset. You have to be in front of the DVD player to use the remote. Had a lot of odd buggs.
I am very unhappy with the product and I will return it.

Summary: 1.) Claims to output 1080p, but it doesn't or atlest I couldn't get it to work. I even tried different hdmi cables hooked up to my 1080p monitor after I called customer support (suggestion was to try different hdmi cables) and the highest resolution it would let me select is 1080i. And yes, I have a hdcp 1080p with hdmi 42\" lcd monitor. I gave up on the 3 set of hdmi cables from monster/rca/phillips and the whole refund cable game. I'll be returning the product due to driving around all day for hdmi cables. Called customer service and they gave me a list of compatible cables for the hdmi problem I was experiencing. If this unit is hdmi cable picky, then why not just include the hdmi cable. I do have my computer hooked up and my monitor shows 1080p no problem so it's got to be the dmr-ez27 or very picky on hdmi cables.

2.) The digital tuner selection between channels is ungodly slow. Like 2 to 3 seconds for the screen to appear while surfing thru digital channels. That's way to darn slow for me when looking for channels to watch.

3.) Tuner and dvd player makes strange noises.
