I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this DVD Recorder. When I first got it, I wasn't sure how to hook it up to my directv satellite DVR box and my TV, so I called the Customer Service number and they walked me thru the steps in no time at all! I instantly began burning off of my TV or off of the my Directv DVR and it works GREAT!!! I have 3 different DVD players in my house and after I finalized my discs they worked great in each of them. I originally bought the Recorder to record disney shows or nickjr shows for my 3 yr old to watch, and so far I have tons of great movies for him to watch without having to buy them at walmart. This is a great product and the picture quality is excellent on my tvs, and I don't even have the HD hooked up yet so I am ecstatic about it!! Thanks, I hope this helped someone!! :-)
What's great about it: Everything!!
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Owned unit for one week and so far have had no problems. Have transferred 18 VCR's to disc from my old VCR. This unit is much better than my Sylvania that I have had constant problems with. Also recorded two shows off TV with no problems. Have used four different brands of DVD disc without any problems.
Very happy so far, will update as time goes on.
What's great about it: Easy to operate, Good picture quality
What's not so great: None

Bought this unit to replace an old Sony that wouldn't recognize 16X DVD's. (A problem that just developed, but is pretty common once I started reading up on it.) I tried a new Sony DVD burner first, but it had problems recording off network TV and premium services with copyguard issues. No problems at all with this Toshiba unit. The new Sony also failed to finalize DVD's if there were too many titles on the disk. I did a test recording 22 10 minute titles at the 4 hour speed and the DVD finalized without any problems with this Toshiba. The menu after finalizing the disk is plain white text on a blue background. Nothing special, but gets the job done. I thought I would have issues with the title entering method. Yes, it is like a cell phone without a text keypad, but its actually much faster than the Sony layout where you have to click over the entire screen to select individual letters. I've had the unit a week, so I cannot say anything about the durabilty issues. I've recorded many programs successfully on a wide variety of DVD brands and haven't run into any problems so far. I am disappointed that there isn't a 3 hour recording speed. This was my 'economical' recording speed with the old Sony. The 2 hour SP speed looks fantastic though If this unit only last a year before dying, I've gotten my money's worth at this great price of $119.
What's great about it: Great price - Great picture - No problems compared to a new Sony.
What's not so great: Doesn't have a 3 hour recording speed

I bought this DVDR yesterday and have just successfully burned a DVD-R with 5 one-hour TV programs, transferring from the DVR provided by the cable company and skipping all the commercials.
The 100 page manual is easy to read and follow. I was able to name each show with titles I created. Now, as soon as the DVD is loaded, a menu with the name of the 5 programs appears.
The machine is very user friendly. I bought the machine primarily to archive TV programs. Every time I finished recording one program, the DVDR display shows the remaining recording time, a great feature.
What's great about it: Easy to use, price, does what it's supposed to do
What's not so great: Did not provide all necessary cables
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to replace my old dvd player that played different recorded types of dvds and cds. The upconversion was an added bonus since I just bought a high definition tv. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the picture. It's very nice and the sound is great too. I love being able to record right off the tv (cable) on the fly, just like I did back when I had a vcr. The results are great too. Some other reviewers had problems with dvd types, but I only use DVD+R so it works out for what I need it for.
What's great about it: Record on the fly; reads many types of recorded dvds and cds
What's not so great: none

I use this with my U-Verse set top to record live TV and shows stored on the DVR. Also use this to record home movies from the MiniDV camcorder. Have recorded numerous times without fail. The DVD's play in all my machines.
NOTE: Will not record copyrighted channels, i.e the major network TV stations. You'll get an error message. (Maybe this is just a U-Verse thing). So if you want to record (to DVD) the "Big Game" or your favorite network TV shows, it will not allow it. Thus, those shows stay on my DVR until it runs out of space or I figure a way to burn them to DVD.
I would recommend this to a friend!

To me Toshiba has always been very reliable when it comes to DVD players. This is my second Toshiba and I still have the first one and that one still works perfect and I bought it in 2002. I have the this particular one hook up to my Directv receiver and can record anything off it that I want. Very nice sleek design and the hook up was very easy. So far every DVD that I have played in it has worked as well as recorded DVD's. The price is the best part of this player/recorder.
What's great about it: Great Price
