Toshiba RD-XS52 DVD Player/Recorder with HDMI
Not well thought-out
There are essential, simple features missing in this DVR.  For example, there's no mute button on the remote control!  And even the volume button is difficult to use (you can't just hold it down, you have to keep pressing it).  Also, editing and dubbing programs is much more complicated than it should be.  I am sure there are better systems out there; this system is simply too complicated and just not well thought-out.
