Panasonic DMR-EH50
Anyone know if this model (with 80GB Hard Disk) can be upgraded with a larger disk?
It's alot cheaper than the DMR-EH60D and I cannot get Freeview, but I can get disks cheap! |

Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cut/Paste Comments from VideoHelp Site. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdrecorder...ist=1#comments Willing to update the existing HD to a larger one, simply forget it. Consider the following before you even try: 1. The firmware of the unit is not design to recognize Hard Drives larger that the one installed. 2. The power supply of the unit is also not designed to handle hard drives, which would draw higher currents on 12V and 5V than the ones specified. 3. The HD that comes with the unit is usually Maxtor standard size but slimmer, or let say low profile and also low current draw (something like this: 12V/0.6A and 5V/0.56A). To find such a HD is difficult indeed and even if you find one, let say 200MBt, or 160MBt the unit will write up to 100MBt for DMR-EH50 or up to 120MBt for DMR-E85H and then will stop as the rest of the HD does not exist. 4. And if you are still unconvinced, consider this: you can easily damage your unit trying to install a HD that draws more current than the specified. The first signs of something going wrong are typical bakelite smell as of something in the process of heating up or burning. Ups, do not panic, the power supply is handled to withstand this excess of high current for some given time, but not for long, believe me. |
