User Submitted Toshiba DVR610 1080p Upconverting Tunerless VHS DVD Recorder Reviews Date: 2010-01-04 Horrible Unit for Dubbing Like most, I chose this unit because of price. We got it to archive all of our home videos onto DVD. Several of our tapes have pause or stop points, and aren't continuous recordings. If there is even one millisecond of snow at any of these stop points, the dubbing stops with an error message, stating that the tape is copy protected. I have thrown away more DVD-R discs than I can count. A very disappointing unit. Date: 2009-12-29 Good product. I have bought Toshiba in the past, and once again I am very satisfied with their product. I purchased a refurbished model, so it didn't come with a manual. Lucky for me they are available online, so it wasn't really an issue. I haven't had much of a chance to use the recording feature, but I tested the picture quality of the DVD and VHS, and both were very clear. Date: 2009-10-12 Smokin' DVD recorder - LITERALLY! Oct 28/2009 AND now for the resolution to this problem, for a mere $80 Toshiba will replace the unit since it is no longer under a 90 day labor warranty. So, I have a unit that has never been used to record, only watch DVDs on, and it was smoking, where there is smoke there is fire, yes? And they want me to throw another $80 at it. I don't think so. Like I stated before, I will NEVER purchase another Toshiba product again. Can you say product liability? What if I had not been in the room when this player started smoking? What if I had left the house???? Obviously Toshiba does not stand by their products. So it was a $157 lesson, not a $237 lesson. I unplugged this unit (which I might have used 7-8 months) while away on vacation for 2 weeks. Upon my return I plug it back in. Went to use it about a week later and it will not turn on with the remote. I turn the unit on using the power switch it stays on for approximately 6 seconds then turns off. I try again, it turns off. I read the manual and it mentions something about the timer, so I try again. The unit will not stay on long enough to use the remote to change the setting. Then I smell SMOKE!!!!!!!!!! After unplugging this unit and opening the windows the smoke eventually clears. Do I pay the $70 labor rate plus shipping to send it back? Doubtful. This is the 2nd Toshiba DVD player that I've had that has died before a year has passed. I will NEVER purchase this brand again. Date: 2009-10-09 died too soon It worked great for 10 months, then broke. They're repair fees are ridiculous, I'm just going to go buy another brand. At that price I want more than 10 months out of it. Date: 2009-08-10 DONT BUY FROM SUPERFAST !!! I never was able to use the DVD recorder. I ordered a used one from SuperFast and it arrived with a AA Battery crammed in the VHS side of the machine and the machine would not work. When I contacted them to return it. I was told no problems, but not given an address or instructions for its return. So when I recontacted them. I received a message telling me they were closed for vacation until July 30, 2009. So I contacted them 1st week of August and now they have blown me off. SUPERFAST IS A RIP OFF!! AND SHAME ON AMAZON FOR NOT HELPING GET MY MONEY BACK FROM THESE ROGUE VENDORS!!! * Price is subject to change. |
