Toshiba D-VR5 Reviews

Consumer review by: btkooi (cnet.com)

This is an okay machine.

Examples of quirks: To get to finalize a DVD I have to go through about 4 menus, scrolling down at each of them, which is a pain. I had to figure this out myself because "how to finalize" isn't included in the manual. Often to access the first menu ......

It makes pretty good copies of VHS tapes and is compatible with a lot of different formats of DVDs

It has a lot of little quirks

DVD Minus, Not Plus, Not Dual-Layer

Records DVD-R and DVD-RW Media only. Does not Record onto DVD+R or DVD+R DL. Otherwise, the dubbing process is straightforward and simple. Internal Tuner works, but you may not need one if you are converting old (non-copyright) VHS to DVD. \n \n

I like this so far. I have used it to record VHS to DVDs and it works good. My only complaint is that it is a little slow, and takes some practice to figure it all out. Of course it could be me. I did call tech support with some questions and they...

Toshiba D-VR5 DVD Play/Record w/VCR
