Toshiba DR430

 

I'm using this to back up previously recorded shows on my satellite dvr (before age and obsolescence make the shows irretrievable). Also, it allows me to watch previously recorded shows in another room without having to pay for "whole house" dvr...

This is an upscale version of the good ole fashioned vcr. It has plenty of basic features to transfer media files from other sources. It's primary function is to act as the DVR your cable/satellite company wants to charge you extra for. Like a VCR, you...

Works great

 

Another site gave this it's top rating for burners due to cost and simplicity. If that is what you need, can't beat it.

Converting vhs to this dvd burner, and works as advertised

No problems at all, exactly what I expected

Just what i needed

 

For the price, it's everything i wanted it to be. I wanted to be able to record off of TV and also change over my hours of VCR tapes to DVD's and it works great !

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good recorder priced right

 

Considering that they (Toshiba) are about the only player left in DVD recorders you don't have much choice. But I think it was worth the money and easy to program..

Setup in minutes. Great HDMI output

SLOW to finalize

Good product for the price

 

It was a bit sticky getting everything lined out as far as cables needed & hook up options but now that we have had a couple of false starts we are recording good quality dvd's.
