Comments about Toshiba Toshiba Black DVD Recorder:

Easy to setup and use. However, I would have liked to see an overall Title Generation Option in addition to just the plain chapters. Other earlier DVD recorders offers that (ie Phillips)

Comments about Toshiba Toshiba Black DVD Recorder:

Our Toshiba DVD Recorder is connected to a DVR "set top box" and is used to archive the video items we wish to keep. The recording is easy, fast and high quality. Color rendering and resolution are as good as any DVD player I have ever owned (Mitsubishi and Sony brands)and perhaps the best among low price "up converter" DVDs
I like that it automatically formats a NEW disk.

I found this machine to be easy to use right out of the box. We are using it to copy home movies and old VHS tapes onto DVD's. So far, we have had no problems whatsoever.

Comments about Toshiba Toshiba Black DVD Recorder:

I got this play movies, CDs, MP3 and to archive tv shows. The play functions are all fine. To prevent you from violating copyright, they only allow S-video or RCA video input. So recording from my FIOS DVR to here is very poor quality. I had a much better one about 7 years ago. Part of the problem is HD format is put in black box to keep format, but it is annoying quality. Maybe all records do this to "protect" tv shows you want to save off. Have not played with editing features, but they seem useful if you like to create chapters and delete chapters.

Comments about Toshiba Toshiba Black DVD Recorder:

I used this to copy my home movies of my daughter. Very easy to do. For me titles and editing were a bit harder, but I'm sure for the average dubbing enthusiast it would have been a piece of cake (ie. I can barely add numbers to my cell phone!).

Service & Delivery comments:

As always ABT delivered. It was prompt, packed well and the price with no tax/shipping made me buy from ABT again. Cannot recommend you guys highly enough!
