Toshiba D-R4 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder
So far - so good!
I got this as a Christmas gift and it has worked fine for me.  I have played a DVD in it, played several Scene-It DVD board games using it and recorded movies from my Dish Satellite DVR without problems. <br /> <br />I bought a 5 pack of blank Panasonic DVD-RAM DVD's and a 25 pack of blank Verbatim Digital Movie (they look like a movie reel) DVD-R 4.7 Gb 1x-4x and have used them both without any problems (so far).  The manual is a bit daunting when you get it out and flip thru it but when I've looked at for something specific, I have been able to use it to success.   <br /> <br />I don't use the machine itself to do anything; I use the remote for opening, closing, playing and recording and haven't had any problems.   <br /> <br />For me, it's exactly what I needed to transfer movies from my DVR onto DVD.
