Toshiba D-R4 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder
JUNK ! Totally Unreliable
I have had this for 8 months and am willing to sell it for 20$ just to get rid of this. I am shopping for a new recorder, if you are looking for one do yourself a favor and get a different brand. This recorder fails to record about 40% of the time when using the timer. If you put in a disk that is not completly compatible for what ever reason it keeps trying to read the disk for about 7 minuets and will not let you turn it off or open the drawer It becomes completely unresponsive. It is very tempermental if you put a DVD that is not completely flawless and clean, it will not play. Also when watching jpg's it takes way too long for pics to load. I think the best bet is to get one with a hard drive, I regreted having to use a DVD for everything that I recorded. I dont know about other players but with this one DVD RAM and DVD RW are only work two or three times before they fail. I know it is supposed to be good for like 10,000 but with this player its not going to happen. One more thing that I hate about this player, If you have a dvd that plays in letterbox there is no way to enlarge it, if you try to zoom the picture it only zooms whats inside the letterbox not the size of the picture.
