Date: 2010-01-16 So far so good I purchased this item primarily for transferring VHS and HI-8 tapes on to DVD. So far, the machine has performed admirably. The only problems I encountered were the written directions - they are confusing to say the least. I used the web helpline twice, and received an answer within 48-hours. The tech support was clear and and helped me get the job done. As such, I have no complaints either with the machine or the on-line support. I have not tried any recordings from the TV, so cannot comment on that aspect. The quality of the recording I have from "dubbing" VHS and HI-8 to DVD are satisfactory. I think there is a slight loss in clarity and vibrance, but not all that bad. Date: 2010-01-15 Toshiba DVR620 DVD/VHS Recorder I'm one of those people who bought this item just to convert VHS to DVD, and this unit does that and a whole lot more for a fraction of the price compared to other VHS/DVD recorders/converters. It's even cheaper than getting the conversion done professionally. I've been a Sony buff for so long now that I forget about other good Japanese manufacturers, such as Toshiba. Date: 2010-01-14 Not bad, but not all I had hoped. My older Video cassette recorders would accept the signal from cable provided Digital Video Recorder. This unit recognizes a signal that prohibits copying from the DVR. I can still record from my now U-Verse DVR with my older Video cassette recorder, but unfortunately, can't use the Toshiba DVR620 unit to record either DVDs nor Video cassettes for that purpose. I guess it's just a change of the times. The Toshiba DVR620 transfers non-protected video cassettes to DVDs with no problem. I've not tried to record video cassettes from DVDs. So far, I've had no need for that. Date: 2010-01-09 dead out of the box received my dvr620---been hooking-up audio/video equipment for almost 50 years--this thing was dead out of the box----a few lights lit---and nothing-----had the pleasure of calling---will say once connected toshiba rep was compitent . now send to mass.to repair center AT MY COST( OVER $30.00) fairly quick return to me---unit works fine---can't compare with other units but be prepared for a lot of reading--formating ,vr vs. video, depending on wether using +R,-R,-RW,+RW-- some recordings (depending on format choice) will play on dvd in computer but not copy on computer---may or may not play on my sony dvd player---this may be how all recorders work---will say dubbing vcr to dvd easy------editing can be a torture. Date: 2010-01-06 Great So Far I have had this for a short while. I have made a couple of DVDs. The quality so far has been much higher than I expected. The first few I have completed have been through lower quality cables. I have not tried with the HDMI connection yet. The basic record functions are extremely easy. It has timer functions, but I really don't need it for that. * Price is subject to change. |
