Toshiba D-R160

Looks ; Ease of use ; DVD playback ; Editing options

No RGB input ; DV input ; Digital tuner or DiVX playback ; Poor quality composite recordings

Looks great and boasts a few nice features, but crucial omissions are its downfall

Stylish design; ease of use; excellent playback performance for the price

Limited compatibility; average connectivity; ordinary recording performance

Smple, easy to use

Scart input doesnt work and required to use front inputs. This is vaguely mentioned in the instruction manual as a possible problem.

Good basic DVD recorder

Limited output connections, & does not work with Toshiba Integrated Remote control.

Easy to understand menu system

Only uses DVD-R & DVD-RW

represents good value for money, easy to use

quite large

good value for money

the manual says it can only use 8x DVDs whereas most sold now are 16x.

Its very quiet when on and has a good varitey of recording options. Its very sleek.

I haven't found any yet.

Not too complicated for the basics, have not got into the advanced usage yet, have to wait for the grandchildren to come round !!!

Formatting the discs, forgetting and then having to wait for them to load, this is my fault not the machine, so machine wise no bad points.

Design a bit dated
