TOSHIBA DR430 DVD Recorder
Don't Put it Down when you Don't Know How to Operate Equipment.
- Pros: I Still haven't had a Bad Disc from this DVD RECORDER. That is after over 300 Discs Recorded on. Drive still Works as Described. I am also an Electronics Tech and Computer Tech.
- Cons: Read Below in Other Thoughts.
- Other Thoughts: I have read People put this DVD Recorder Down. They Say that there is NO DIGITAL OR ANY TUNER! Well if you had read the Details of what the Recorder has you would have seen that It Does NOT have any Tuners in it. Then they Need a Monitor to hook up to see what is Recorded. If you would have tested it you would have Known that you Needed a Monitor to see what you were Doing. Also I have heard that people are Saying that it takes 9 Minutes to Finish a Recording after you Push the Stop Button. If it takes your Recorder that Long then you Need to readjust the Quality of the Recording. I have never had it go over 1 1/2 Minutes. Then people have talked about having to FINALIZE the Disc to be able to Play it on another DVD Player. The Recorder will Record the Data onto the Disc. BUT to get it Capable of Playing onto a DVD Player you will have to do what is Called FINALIZE the disc. It puts the Lead in, Chapter Marks, Then the Lead out Marks for the Regular DVD Players to be able to Play it. Also when you Finalize a Disc the disc CAN'T BE RECORDED ON ANY MORE. So when you do it the Disc will be Complete. I have had 2 other DVD Recorders and they all have to do the Same things that I have Listed above to work. So when you get a DVD Recorder "" READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST "" then you won't be putting down a DVD Recorder when you Haven't had one before. I write this not to make people Mad but to Educate.

DVR620
- Pros: It does a great job of copying. Had on trouble

- Other Thoughts: The learning process is the hardest, a good recorder, other than that.

TOSHIBA DVR620 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo with 1080p Upconversion
Don't buy one of these!
- Pros: ~ Quick and Easy setup.
- Cons: Initially VHS tapes played fine, that was for all of about 10 minutes. When I decided to press the "dubbing" button to make a copy on to a DVD, suddenly the VHS tapes play in fast-forward mode now. Not sure what caused it. Will try Toshiba "tech support" in the morning since I can't return it!!
- Other Thoughts: This product isn't worth the money or time wasted trying to get it fixed.

Toshiba DVD Don't buy
- Pros: Price
- Cons: Previous reviews are old and do not apply to the current recorder. Toshiba DOES NOT offer support for this item and does not offer warranty service other than that from the seller. The recorder responds to the remote and the buttons on the recorder on a hit an miss basis. You have to repeatedly push the buttons to get a response; ie open the door, start, etc.
- Other Thoughts: With no support available and probably no warranty unless NewEgg provides it for a year, save yourself the money and headaches DON"T BUY TOSHIBA

TOSHIBA DR430 DVD Recorder
Great HD upscale
- Pros: Its recording feature is supposedly comparable with most forms of CD/DVD which is a plus. The HD upscaling of a typical DVD also worked as well my ps3
- Cons: The reason I bought was so my dad could record his tv shows without a VCR but the video input for this DVDR has to go from the cable box to the player and we don't have a cable box so it could only play the DVD's. Also, the programming function seemed a little complicated (part of my job is playing with VCR's and DVD players). Of course, it might have been because we couldn't hook it up to a cable box
- Other Thoughts: We ended up returning it because we couldn't with it but it is a good dvd player

TOSHIBA DR430 DVD Recorder
Perfect!
- Pros: I use 3 of these at the sports arena where I work to record sporting events in real time. We just load up the discs and start recording. After the game, stop recording and finalize. Have yet to burn a single coaster. Keep in mind, there is no tuner in this unit, and no hard drive. It just records live streamed video with audio in real time. And it does it very well. The finalizing time for a 3 hour video stream is about 4 minutes, disc pops out, all set! There may be pro units for 20 times the price that produce a better looking recording, but the discs I make are mainly for coaching and content to display on the scoreboard video walls, and frankly the playback looks pretty good to me.
- Cons: Doesn't wash dishes
- Other Thoughts: Extremely happy with these reliable units. Can't beat 'em for the money. Some reviewers bashed these units because they don't have a TV tuner, they don't claim to have a tuner! Please read the specs people.

bait and switch
- Pros: none
- Cons: I bought this product because it said it had a tuner. When I received it it proclaims all over the box that there is no tuner. I feel cheated and used. Never again, and I will let everyone know about your tactics.

TOSHIBA DVR620 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo with 1080p Upconversion
Great product
- Pros: This product was recommended to me by my son, a computer professional. I purchased it primarily to convert my VHS tapes to DVD. Eventually they will be edited and installed on my computer.
The set up was easy, using the provided cables. With some difficulty (see 'Cons') the 'dubbing' was accomplished. The resulting DVD was very satisfactory. - Cons: Even though I had burned CD's and finalized them I did not realize that the DVD's had to be finalized. The instructions for 'dubbing' were on page 50 of the manual but the instructions for finalizing were on page 32 - with no notice after dubbing to consult page 32. Of course, the unfinalized DVD would not play on another piece of equipment. A neighbor's player discovered my error.
- Other Thoughts: I would definitely buy this again and would highly recommend it to others.
