What People Say

Very good quality pictures from cable recording on the VCR side. from Buy.com The machine is slow to respond to the hand control signals when the buttons are pressed (mostly PAUSE) when recording a TV program to delete the advertisements. from Circuitcity.com The one thing they did right was to put three types of tuners(standard, hi def and cable) as well as a HD upload from regular recordings. from Circuitcity.com However, the DVDs recorded on the Toshiba when played back do not have as high a resolution as I expected. from Beachaudio.com I have also used to do timer recording to the DVD with no problems. from Vanns.com Timer record always defaults to DVD mode, so to use a VHS tape you need to select each item in the record setup. from Beachaudio.com I needed to record old vhs tapes of my family, particularly my grand boys, onto dvd disc, before the tapes completely degrade. from Buydig.com Summary: Very nice looking piece of equipment and alot of nice *extras* that most DVD recorders do not come with yet. from Buydig.com I purchased this DVD/VHS Combo Recorder to transfer VHS tapes to DVD and to upconvert DVDs for viewing on an HD TV. from Circuitcity.com Recording from HDTV is nearly useless, since most broadcasts are copy protected. from Buy.com
