Tishiba DR-400 DVD Recorder

Good product but difficult to set up, instructions are hard to follow. I like the results but the difficulty in getting there made it less enjoyable. After all the bother of the ser up the first one would not work so back to the retailer for a swap and now I can enjoy it, hopefully for many years.

asheed1 says "Worth it!" about Toshiba - DR-400 DVD Recorder

I think this was a great but but not so sure if I would tell my friends to get this product. I had a hard time setting it up but I am also not very good at this sort of thing. I would have rather taken it straight out of the box and be able to plug it in and have it work. The player will play the dvd's and the pciture is nice (I know that has to do with the tv) but the system is nice. And once it is together it is easy to use. Very user friendly. I have netflix so I watch a lot of movies and I am always looking for something better. For the price I would tell people to use this if they want something a little extra they might want to try a different newer bigger product....

I really like this recorder. Once the system was set up recording was easy with great quality. I found it simple to transfer old VHS tapes onto DVDs and also recorded directly onto DVDs from my DVR system.

A couple of drawbacks: There is no tuner in the recorder so you have to have the TV on the channel you are recording. (You can turn the TV off while recording). Also in other reviews I've read most users said the set up was simple but I had a time of it trying to get the VCR, DVD Recorder and the Cable Box to all work together. My hook up is not like the manual states at all. I had to plug cables into different outputs to make it work.

The HDMI cable (not included with the unit) gives very good digital quality for HD programming. It looks great with 1080i and 1080p.

Recordable media supported: DVD+R,
DVD+RW,
DVD-R,
DVD-RW
All in all I'm pleased with it, especially compared to Panasonic and RCA.
