I transferred my VHS home movies to DVD and am pleased with the quality. I wanted one machine to provide VHS and DVD recording and this Toshiba has performed well. It is also easy to transfer your VHS tapes to DVD. I would highly recommend this recorder. I liked it so well that I purchased another one for the bedroom.
Like most, I chose this unit because of price. If there is even one millisecond of snow at any of these stop points, the dubbing stops with an error message, stating that the tape is copy protected. We got it to archive all of our home videos onto DVD. Several of our tapes have pause or stop points, and aren't continuous recordings. I have thrown away more DVD-R discs than I can count. A very disappointing unit.
I have bought Toshiba in the past, and once again I am very satisfied with their product. I purchased a refurbished model, so it didn't come with a manual. Lucky for me they are available online, so it wasn't really an issue. I haven't had much of a chance to use the recording feature, but I tested the picture quality of the DVD and VHS, and both were very clear.
What if I had not been in the room when this player started smoking. So, I have a unit that has never been used to record, only watch DVDs on, and it was smoking, where there is smoke there is fire, yes. Went to use it about a week later and it will not turn on with the remote. I don't think so.
I read the manual and it mentions something about the timer, so I try again. Like I stated before, I will NEVER purchase another Toshiba product again. Can you say product liability. Oct 28/2009AND now for the resolution to this problem, for a mere $80 Toshiba will replace the unit since it is no longer under a 90 day labor warranty. Do I pay the $70 labor rate plus shipping to send it back. Upon my return I plug it back in.
I turn the unit on using the power switch it stays on for approximately 6 seconds then turns off. I try again, it turns off.
Doubtful.This is the 2nd Toshiba DVD player that I've had that has died before a year has passed. And they want me to throw another $80 at it.
The unit will not stay on long enough to use the remote to change the setting.Then I smell SMOKE. What if I had left the house.Obviously Toshiba does not stand by their products.
So it was a $157 lesson, not a $237 lesson.I unplugged this unit (which I might have used 7-8 months) while away on vacation for 2 weeks. After unplugging this unit and opening the windows the smoke eventually clears.
I will NEVER purchase this brand again.
It worked great for 10 months, then broke. They're repair fees are ridiculous, I'm just going to go buy another brand. At that price I want more than 10 months out of it.
