    Panasonic's latest flagship digital video recorder, the DMR-XW300, offers a wide range of functionality and an intuitive interface. Recording to DVD or hard drive is simple, and playback is equally trouble-free. As the most expensive model in the Panasonic line-up, it has two high-definition digital tuners and 250GB of hard drive space for direct recording of television. Read more

    If you use a projector you can see the true difference from standard to High definition with this unit you will find that standard is better quality than High def.
