Toshiba D-R1 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player
Expensive but useless
1. RF out does not work. Had to connect TV to S-video.<BR>2. It would record for a while, then fail and render the blank DVD unusable.<BR>3. If you leave the machine recording on a blank, when it reaches the end, instead of stopping, it renders the DVD unusable.<BR>4. Machine crashed numerous times, necessitating pulling the plug out and putting it back in to get it back.<BR>5. Finally got a short show recorded and finalized. It would not play on a Pioneer Elite DVD player, although DVD-R's created with a panasonic DVD recorder worked fine on the Pioneer.<BR>6. I wish these DVD makers would add a PS/2 keyboard jack on the front, as their remotes are painfully impractical at inputting text.<br />I'm very disappointed. Box is headed back to the vendor tomorrow.
