good recorder and player September 6, 2008
J. D. Williams (Fort Collins, CO United States)
I haven't used it a lot yet, but so far it works really well. I mostly bought it so I could record TV shows and it does a good job and has a nice clear picture. If I watch TV through the DVD recorder tuner I get some channels I can't get on just cable. That's a bonus I didn't know I was getting. If I understand correctly, the fact it has a digital tuner should allow me to continue to be able to record TV after Feb. 2009.
 Very Pleased September 6, 2008
OmRK (Princeton, West Virginia)
I use this recorder at least five days a week and have been very pleased with its ease of use, picture and sound quality. It runs extremely quietly. I bought it on sale from Amazon and feel I got a great deal.
very good August 29, 2008
Koky (San Jose, Costa Rica)
Not problems with it. Excellent. More than I expected. Easy to use, works as easily as any VCR. This is the DVD recorder we have been waitng to arrive.
GREAT SUPPORT August 21, 2008
Henry Cargen (SYRACUSE, NY USA)
No problem playing back with HDMI cable but could not get to record. A call to Tec support got me started with a no wait response adding an input. A second no wait call got me recording. Great courteous well-spoken Tec support.Works great and excellent player

 A Fatal Flaw Which Dooms It To Oblivion August 18, 2008
Albert A. Azose (Van Nuys, CA United States)

This is an otherwise satisfactory and workable DVD Recorder/Player, with all the features you'd expect in such a machine, including the HDTV tuner, which is the primary reason why I bought it. Granted, the price was right ($166 on Amazon vs. $229 on the Toshiba website), but you certainly get what you pay for. It has two main flaws, one of which is an annoyance, and the other, in my opinion, is fatal. The annoying flaw is the remote control. The button descriptions are very hard to read, and it's made with the cheapest plastic.
The fatal flaw is its Timer Recording. If you want to pre-record programs, the last step in so doing is to turn the machine off. Quoting from the Owner's Manual, "Timer recording will not work when the power is on". What genius programmed this idiocy? In other words, if you're watching the TV where the Toshiba unit is attached, and you want to set up some pre-recorded programs for tomorrow, you must turn off the Recorder until the programs have recorded. In my situation, I'm using the Toshiba as a digital tuner for a Sony tube TV, and this flaw means that I cannot watch the set until the timed programs have recorded. Unbelievable.
It's no wonder that Toshiba has discontinued their DVD Recorder/Player line.
Note: I have subsequently discovered that I can turn off the Toshiba just prior to the recording time, but leave the TV set on. When the Toshiba starts recording, the channel(s) selected appear on the TV set. However, during the recording time, you cannot change channels. When the recording is completed, the Toshiba turns off. Therefore, in fairness to Toshiba, I am upgrading my rating to two and a half stars instead of just two stars.
