Toshiba D-R400 Tunerless 1080p Upconverting DivX Certified DVD Recorder Reviews
I have only recorded to DVD-Rs but have had no problems either recording or playing back any DVD. I actually got this here on Amazon for $88.09 (New) and am VERY happy with it. All you get when you fast-forward/rewind is that symbol (>> or I wish when playing back a DVD it would give you a timeline to show you how far along you are. I haven't tried to back-up any bought DVD either. This is my first DVD Recorder.
(don't have any). The main reason I bought it was to record programs off of the Tivo. But I have read elsewhere that it will do all of these. I like that it plays DivX discs. I have NOT recorded any Pay-per-View (no interest) nor any Premium channels like HBO, Showtime, ect.
Pleased do not add MY name to products I have not reviewed because I have NOT BOUGHT THEM.
I've checked settings, connections, read the manual and nothing fixed the issue. For average user, it might suffice but for my business, I can't have backup's that are useless. I was backing up to the Toshiba dvd recorder as well as pulling the video off to my computer at the same time. I purchased this recorder for the sole purpose of having quick backup capability for my miniDV tapes. Every dvd I have burned, no matter how I set it up, the picture was much darker than it should be.
It was slow to start from the first time we used it but otherwise worked fine until now. Only lasted 7 months. It just randomly stopped working (it was never dropped or even bumped). When I called Toshiba, they offered to fix it if we pay $70 for labor plus shipping- not acceptable. It should be covered less than a year old. Very disappointed it didn't last and will not buy again.
I am currently involved in negotiating for repairs. So I exchanged it. This was a Christmas gift; the first one was DOA. The heck with it-I'm switching to Sony.
IT'S JUNK. I thought it was the remote, but it was the recorder itself that was bad. I had encountered that before, with certain discs; this was universal. The new one worked fine for about 6 months, then it started screwing up: anything I played looked fine, but the audio was delivering at about 20% of normal volume.
After eight months and a DOA. Any disc I put into it had to be cranked up to the limit to be heard at all, and even then I missed a lot. Jesus, Toshiba, who are you trying to kid. This company can build a reliable nuclear reactor, but can't do a DVD recorder.
