Date: 2010-05-19 It's All Right. Seems to work pretty good. My wife finds it easy to use. She doesn't care much for the remote control. She programs it to watch her soaps daily on a DVD-RW and that's about it. Haven't really delved into any of its other features. Date: 2010-05-11 great product, great price I looked at a lot of reviews for DVD recorders before deciding on this one. I'm very happy with it. I use it for recording OTA television shows. The recording features and the editing options are very easy to use. The quality of the recordings is excellent. The only feature I wish this unit had is to be able to set it to record every week at a particular time and channel. All of the programs have to be entered individually each week. I have not tried recording from a video camera so I can't speak to how well it works for that. But overall this DVD recorder does what I need and it was very affordable. Date: 2010-05-11 Decent DVD-recorder with not so decent ATSC tuner. I've had this recorder for 8 months and primarily use it for DVD's on a 720P DLP rear projection setup. It does great at that. We got this one because we needed something to record, and the old DLP set doesn't have an ATSC tuner. Problem solved. My only real issues with this recorder are: 1. the tuner quits looking for channels about about 135 on QAM. That's a problem here, as our Comcast cable goes well into the 200's and we have the most basic package available. 2. the aspect ratio of some HD content is not quite right (like our local PBS), and leaves narrow bars on the sides of the screen, or stretches SD content even when set on "auto aspect". 3. the remote is crap. Can't find even the basic buttons in the dark. pretty frustrating. Other than those things, it does great, and we are pretty happy with it. Just to confirm what others have said about the recording quality, it does a good job on XP os SP, but I wouldn't go lower than that, as motion and compression artifacts get pretty bad at lower settings. Like youTube bad. Date: 2010-05-03 Fit my need perfectly Was replacing an old VCR/DVD combo since the DVD stopped working. This was the best rated for the price and I didn't need a lot a bells and whistles, nor the VCR capablity my old unit had. I did set it up without too much trouble (took me about 1 hour but I'm slow) and the only thing I'd note as not so possitive (but it really doesn't bother me that much), is that on playback some of the colors are a little brighter and off a little. For example the skin tones are a little more orange than normal screen). Overall in the last 2 months I have used this DVD I am very pleased. Date: 2010-05-02 Toshiba DVD-R Set up was tricky because the machine will not take just any dvd-w disc. It kept rejecting the ones I had been using with my Panasonic and I couldn't understand why. It took 15 minutes with Toshiba customer service to straighten things out. Now it's working great but the manual and remote control could both be more user friendly. * Price is subject to change. |
