Piece of Garbage
I’m very surprise as to how poorly this prodcut was made. Picture quality is horrible, especially when it’s an upconvert player to 1080.

very nice recorder for the money
Sure you could do better but not at this price point. I got it a Jr’s for $104 but they’re sold out right now.

Worth the price
Cons: slow in start up, shutting down. Pros: reliable, high quality recording and is the alternative to paying monthly charges to cable companies and Tivo. Overall, great product.

Indescribably Lousy Design
With this D-R5 Toshiba did an outstanding job of improving the D-R4 from almost outstanding to completely stupid.

dvd recorder
The product arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The Toshiba has proven easy to use and in playback produces a good picture. I am very pleased with the product.

It Broke
I bought this player/recorder 11 months ago, and now I have to get a new one because it no longer works.

BIG MISTAKE
Bought this refurbed to get an inboard tuner…BIG MISTAKE on many fronts. Unit would not work with Maxell and a couple other brands of -rw’s, then tried dvd-ram…

Love the Middle Speed
This is almost a perfect machine that has all the speeds I’ve needed in recording my own media. The only thing I don’t like about this machine is that, even though I’ve bought it…

Nope
Skip this one. Less than 2 years old and the HDMI stopped working. It also claims DVD’s are ‘BAD’ about 90% of the time when they play just fine in my older dvd/vcr combo…

2.0 out of 5 stars Reliable But Has Issues
Purchased 2 of these about 2 years ago and have used them extensively. Have recorded from all types of formats. DO NOT BUY THIS FOR THE DV INPUT!
