The first DVD recorder goes on sale in the US in a couple of weeks’ time. But
because of worries about it being used to pirate copyright material Panasonic
has made the machine without digital inputs or outputs. The signal from a
digital television, for example, will have to be converted to an analogue signal
before it can be recorded. It does not even have an input for a
camcorder—in case someone goes to the cinema and records a film.
