What's Hot

Simple and easy-to-use recording, great inbuilt editing tool

What's Not

Some noise and chromatic aberrations when upscaling DVDs, lacks a HD tuner despite HD upscaling

The Final Word

The DMR-EX77 seems to be having a hard time deciding what kind of device it wants to be. Although it upscales DVDs to high definition, it can't decode high-definition TV. Apart from this little contradiction however, it's generally a functional and easy-to-use recording unit.
