Toshiba RD-XS32 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 80 GB Hard Drive
Great and reliable Recorder,
The best thing about this recorder that I want to say is its ability to write DVD-RAM Discs as well as DVD-RW (not to mention DVD-R that is becoming cheaper everyday) and that makes it better than all others, I was about to go with either Panasonic (Only DVD-RAM and -R) or Pioneer (Only DVD-RW and -R), there were both good but I think this Toshiba leads. I hope all others start supporting every format including + format to help customers get out of confusion. For me I would definitely continue to go with -R format and not +R if manufacturers continue to support different formats.<br />As for the ease of use and operation, it was extremely easy, like a new high-tech VCR, I played back the copied DVD in my laptop, (wish my PC had a DVD-RAM drive).
