Not wanting to speak for Mark, but I think he was referring to speech output not audiodescription. A lot of TVs/digital boxes now have the ability to broadcast audiodescription, but very few have speech output.

Hi Yusuf and Mark,

The Which magazine reviewed a number of DVD Recorders a
couple of years ago and at least 3 Panasonic models were
claimed to have Audio Description built in "to aid the
visually impaired".

1 of those models was the DMR 773 DVD Recorder.

If I can find the article in my archives I'll send further
details to the list.

However, a word of caution.  I called in a local Panasonic
store and 2 of the reps working didn't have any knowledge of
audio description capability.

Interesting, I didn't know that any of those sorts of
devices had speech
on. If you do find anything out will you post to the list?

Yusuf,

The recorders I mean have nothing to do the the new TV and
have, as far as I
was aware, beenaround for a year or so.  These are the
independent recorder
units with built in freeserve receivers, DVD and hard disk
recording
facility.

Mark, From what I could tell it was the TV's speech that
gave you access
to the external Hard disk recorder.

Does anyone have any model numbers of the Panasonic DVD
and hard disk TV
recorders that have the built in speech output, please.

I was told today in Comet that none of the Panasonic
range of hard disk
and
DVD recorders have speech built into them, only the new
range of TV's.  I
am
sure the Panasonic have had speech in their recorders for
some time but
was
advised I was wrong by a Panasonic area rep.
