Toshiba RD-XS32 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with 80 GB Hard Drive
WENT BAD IN 5 months -- ignore the rating above!!!
I bought it when the price was $370 and Amazon had $30 off $250 certificate. At that range, it simply creams everything else. Most others were about $100 more. Unlike most others, it plays -r, -rw and -ram formats (all panasonics  or sonys do not). Only catch is u have to be in the -r/rw camp. Note that this will effect your future choice of dvd camcorders also -- so be careful. You want both -rw and -ram formats as you do not know which will win out.   Only problem is that most TVs do not have a S-video OUT so you cannot record higher resolution.   Else, works as advertised provided you buy \\"standard\\" discs like Memorex etc (Compusa dvds did not work).    AFTER 5 months...  ***************  The DVD will not often load -R discs -- even the discs it created! It is a crap shoot -- sometimes, the same dvd will load and sometimes not! The -r disc is the right version and this used to be great 3 months ago. A user in avforms suggested he opens/cloese the drive and sometimes this solves the problem. The RAM and -rw discs load fine. Unfortunately, WARRANTY IS ONLY 90 DAYS FOR LABOR. Toshiba has discontinued the model.
