The Recorder offers the broadest feature set of any Blu-ray Recorder on the Australian market and adds new functionality to the Panasonic Blu-ray range, including a Triple HD Tuner, a two Terabyte hard disk drive (HDD), keyword recording and enhanced multi-room TV streaming.

The Triple HD Tuner gives consumers the flexibility of recording three programs in High Definition (HD) quality from different channels, or recording two programs while watching another. The 2TB hard disk drive (HDD) provides up to 1370 hours of HD recording.

‘Keyword Recording’ provides a convenient and quick way of automatically recording programs by selecting a keyword. For example, simply enter the name of your favourite TV show and the Recorder will search the electronic program guide and record all programs with this keyword.

View content in comfort from any room in the house using Multiroom TV Streaming Plus. This capability has been enhanced with the triple tuner so users can simultaneously watch a program on their TV while recording another, and wirelessly send a recorded program or live broadcast to a smartphone or tablet for another member of the family to view. For added convenience, recorded programs and live broadcasts can be controlled using Panasonic’s DIGA Player App.

The DMR-BWT945GL is priced at $879 RRP and is available now.

The Recorder features a variety of smart networking functions to provide users with the most intuitive and integrated home entertainment experience, as well as features to support excellent sound and image quality.
