This is done by quickly hitting record when first powering the unit up, as long as the clock's been set.
The DMR-EH50 also boasts what Panasonic calls "1 second quick start recording" to either the hard drive or DVD-RAM media. Annoyingly, you've got to select flexible recording from the outset there's no way to resample recordings at a later date for dubbing purposes. The DMR-EH50 offers four standard recording modes which give you between 1-8 hours recording onto single sided media, as well as a flexible recording mode that'll adjust data rates to give you the best possible rate based on the amount of space available on a disc. That still gives you the options of DVD-RAM, DVD+/-R and DVD-RW. The time will come when you want to permanently archive material, and here the DMR-EH50 offers a nice little suite of writing options, as it'll record to every DVD recordable format except dual layer discs and DVD+RW. If you're willing to stretch the limits of the drive and you're not terribly fussy about picture quality, you could cram 142 hours of TV on EH50's 80GB drive (Panasonic also sells an upgrade model, the DMR-EH60 for AU$1099, which has a 200GB hard drive). The hard drive within the DMR-EH50 is an 80GB model, which isn't huge, but should be sufficient for all but the most committed couch potatoes. Clearly laid out buttons at the top of the remote switch between hard drive, DVD and SD card playback options. By clicking in compass directions you can navigate menu options or perform other context-sensitive operations, and the centre of the wheel forms the unit's Enter key. In the style of Apple's iPod, it's not just a scroll wheel, however. One unique feature of the remote is that it features a scroll wheel for rapid picture seeking that's something we haven't seen a lot of since the days of VHS.
Like most hard disk based DVD recorders, the DMR-EH50's remote isn't for the timid, as it's a chunky unit with a lot of function buttons on it.
