 Excellent Low Cost DVD Recorder November 3, 2008
This is my first DVD Recorder.
I actually got this here on Amazon for $88.09 (New) and am VERY happy with it. I have only recorded to DVD-Rs but have had no problems either recording or playing back any DVD. I like that it plays DivX discs.
The main reason I bought it was to record programs off of the Tivo. I have NOT recorded any Pay-per-View (no interest) nor any Premium channels like HBO, Showtime, ect... (don't have any). I haven't tried to back-up any bought DVD either. But I have read elsewhere that it will do all of these.
I wish when playing back a DVD it would give you a timeline to show you how far along you are. All you get when you fast-forward/rewind is that symbol (>> or <<), no idea if you are at the beginning, middle or end.
TV is a 50" Samsung 720p. DVR is a SD Tivo.

Records dvd's too dark September 28, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this recorder for the sole purpose of having quick backup capability for my miniDV tapes. I was backing up to the Toshiba dvd recorder as well as pulling the video off to my computer at the same time. Every dvd I have burned, no matter how I set it up, the picture was much darker than it should be. I've checked settings, connections, read the manual and nothing fixed the issue.
For average user, it might suffice but for my business, I can't have backup's that are useless.
Didn't last September 6, 2008
Only lasted 7 months. When I called Toshiba, they offered to fix it if we pay $70 for labor plus shipping- not acceptable. It should be covered less than a year old. It just randomly stopped working (it was never dropped or even bumped). It was slow to start from the first time we used it but otherwise worked fine until now. Very disappointed it didn't last and will not buy again.
 First one DOA, second one worked fine for about 6 months August 22, 2008

This was a Christmas gift; the first one was DOA. I thought it was the remote, but it was the recorder itself that was bad. So I exchanged it. The new one worked fine for about 6 months, then it started screwing up: anything I played looked fine, but the audio was delivering at about 20% of normal volume. I had encountered that before, with certain discs; this was universal. Any disc I put into it had to be cranked up to the limit to be heard at all, and even then I missed a lot. I am currently involved in negotiating for repairs. After eight months and a DOA? Jesus, Toshiba, who are you trying to kid? IT'S JUNK!! This company can build a reliable nuclear reactor, but can't do a DVD recorder? The heck with it-I'm switching to Sony.
