It works perfectly Rated:

By Anonymous: I bought the DS27B only understanding the usefulness of DV-in afterwards.
I rang Panasonic to ask about software to enable DV-in and they very strongly recommended against it, saying it would break the camcorder and invalidate the guarantee.
Well, I took the risk that most of this was sales puff from a panicky company and indeed it was - the software enabled DV-in just as it said on the packet and it's remained fully enabled ever since. Recommended.
