Toshiba DVR610 DVD Recorder / VCR Combo — 

This is a far better DVD Combo Recorder than others. The Toshiba D-VR610 offers clear, crisp recordings with widescreen HD clarity. 

The Unit receives S-Video and RCA inputs and upconverts this via HDMI or Component outputs which delivers a very good reproduction.

Can record from Cable Box,  Digital Converter Box or Satellite.  There is no built in tuner.  When transferring your VHS tapes to DVD it is flawless and does not have issues with voice synch as other recorders have serious delays in sound and picture being synchronized.

This unit accepts both -Minus and +Discs,  using name brand media will prevent disc errors. 

The setup manual and remote take initial getting use to, but once you get the hang of how it operates and offers a wide variety of choices to the user,  its a great machine.

Having a whisper quiet fan built in will prolong this units life,  A must with any DVD recorder due to the intense heat produced by the laser burner.

The only disappointment is that when you shut off the recorder,  there is no pass through technology permitting the signal and sound to continue on your television. 

This has many high marks in comparison to other DVD recorders and combo units on the market. A great product.
