I got this unit for Christmas in 2007. So it's been almost 2 years of use. Overall, I'll say my experience is "satisfactory." About 2 months ago, the remote stopped working. Changed batteries, reset, etc. It simply will NOT make a connection some days....

I've been using this for a few years. The DVD recording feature is something I thought I would use a lot, but it turns out I have not used it much at all. You can record from DVR in real time if there is something you really want to save - but this...

I purchased the product in JAN 2007, and have used if infrequently. Probably have not gone through a box of 25 DVDs to record (also purchased 2 DVD RAM disks). For the past 3 months it would report that 50% of the inserted disks were bad. Now 100%...

Purchased 2 of these about 2 years ago and have used them extensively. Have recorded from all types of formats. DO NOT BUY THIS FOR THE DV INPUT! If you want to record from a digital source and use the DV input go elsewhere. On both units, they...

Bought this refurbed to get an inboard tuner...BIG MISTAKE on many fronts. Unit would not work with Maxell and a couple other brands of -rw's, then tried dvd-ram...did get a few -r recordings which won't play out on other equipment. more problems...

I bought this player/recorder 11 months ago, and now I have to get a new one because it no longer works. I got it because it was the cheapest recorder I could find, and I guess you get what you pay for. After a few months it wouldn't record new discs,...

The product arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The Toshiba has proven easy to use and in playback produces a good picture. I am very pleased with the product.
