I am very pleased with the recorder even though I ordered it because this site listed that it would play DivX which it does not. Neither will it record on dual or double layer discs as advertised. However, it is one of only a few that will PLAY double layer discs. Still an excellent value with very good quality.
What's great about it: Best DVD recorder for the price, great picture quality
What's not so great: No tuner, but I did not expect one in this price range
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our old(er) Samsung DVD recorder bit the dust and we needed a new (cheap) one ASAP, as our DVR was pretty close to full..
Brought this little wonder home today and it's darn near perfect. Setup was a snap, and it's so far worked flawlessly. As it has no tuner it does need to be connected to a device that has one, but our DVR through DirecTV has one, so no problems.
One previous reviewer gave the unit poor marks due to the lack of a tuner, but my experience today was that it was noted on the website, the info card on the shelf, AND it's printed on the box of the unit - I don't think it deserved that one-star rating.
One minor gripe - after recording titles on a DVD, the interface for naming those titles is very clunky - a lot like texting from a phone with no keyboard and no intuitive word completion. A very minor gripe, and for a unit at this price, it's easily overlooked.
What's great about it: Price, Ease of setup
What's not so great: Title Naming Interface
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Toshiba can offer this high-quality DVD Recorder for such a low price. All DVD Players (upconverting) are not created equal, I have tried Samsung, Sony, LG...None compares to this Toshiba.
If you have an HD 1080p or 1080i TV, take my advice and buy this DVD player. The image from standard DVD's is awesome, it must have a very powerful graphics rendering chip inside, its immediately noticeable on screen.
I had a high-end Panasonic DVD Recorder for years that worked great, but i wanted the HDMI/upconvert feature. And the Panasonic is wayyyyy overpriced, even though it has a better recording interface.
Not a better value out there in DVD Players, and it records!!
Thanks BestBuy! - Maybe you could train your Sales staff to recommend this unit instead of pushing everyone to the samsung or panasonic.
What's great about it: Amazing 1080p Picture Quality on all DVDs, Easy DVD Recording
What's not so great: Takes a while to Open the disc tray
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this DVD recorder the other day for the advertised price, brought it home set it up, and it worked perfectly. For recordings, I am running a RCA feed into it from my HD cable box ( 480p feed ) and runnning that out to my HDTV via component cables so that I can record and watch things at the same time. I have not hooked up the HDMI output to my TV yet, but I do not anticipate any upconvert problems there. This is a nice little unit for the price and my only legitimate gripe is the recorder's titling interface. My old recorder allowed you to grab stills of what you had recorded and use them for your title screens, this was so convienent and awesome and was the only way I ever titled ANYTHING. Ultimately, for the price, this is a good buy.
What's great about it: Great price, easy to record content, nice compact/lightweight design
What's not so great: Record menu interface, titling interface, RCA only input
I would recommend this to a friend!
