It may not be much to look at but the DMR-PWT550 is well made from sturdy aluminium – although the front flap feels a little flimsy. The only thing holding it back, in terms of its value rating, is the PWT655 which, for just a few pounds more, offers double the recording capability - and that’s not to be sneezed at. which is virtually all of them) are handled spotlessly but even those rarer examples at 1080i60 look excellent, courtesy of the DMR-PWT550’s near faultless video deinterlacing abilities.

As per the PWT655EB, Demand 5 is also missing from the roster of catch-up apps when it is available on Panasonic’s dedicated PVR boxes. The main exclusions are: cosmetic and malicious damage, costs that you may incur due to your product being unusable, and installation and disposal charges for a replacement product.

Two of those take you directly to Netflix and the Freeview Play apps, while our favourites for skipping through recorded or paused TV content are sat at the bottom. The worst are the sluggish Freeview Play EPG and the DLNA lock-down when a recording is in progress.

The DMR-PWT550 makes Mad Max Fury Road look stunning, rendering the dramatic desert landscapes with tons of detail and a natural, nuanced colour palette. The DMR-PWT550EB benefits from Panasonic’s fine heritage as makers of video processing electronics and scales standard definition content in a very accomplished way. You can’t jump pages either – to scroll through the EPG quickly, you have to hold down the direction pad keys, which isn’t only inaccurate but also takes ages to reach the HD channels. This achieves a stunning picture quality which displays images in a more vibrant colour and in more detail too.

If the player is in automatic mode, I couldn't get it to play the disc as 3D - the machine decided the disc was 2D for some strange reason.
