Toshiba D-R4 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder
A great DVD player/recorder for a great price
I bought this to replace a Toshiba DVD player which broke after only 3 years. I usually have good luck with Toshiba so I bought another. So far I have only used this for basic things--playing movies and recording off the TV. It has worked great with everything. The recordings are clear and easy to find a few days later. My biggest gripe with the VCR and the reason I stopped taping things was that I would tape one or two things and not watch them for a week or two. Then I'd mix up tapes, record over something, etc and never find what I recorded. With the DVD recorder, it all comes up on a menu with a thumbnail and the date and time of the recording. It couldn't be easier! Setting a timer program is easy, and the timeslip feature (only with DVD RAM's) is excellent. It also has an instant replay feature (it goes back about 10 seconds with one touch of a button). I hope to learn to use some of the other features soon, such as editing and dubbing.  This unit is well worth the price.
