Toshiba RD-XS35 DVD Player/Recorder with 160 GB Hard Drive
Surprised with Quality
I have to say I was surprised with the quality and the product after reading so many negative reviews of other DVD recorders.  It wasn't hard to set up, I've recorded various sources to the harddrive, made chapter divisions, and recorded to DVD's.  They have also played on other DVD devices.  I don't read instructions unless I have to, but other than the hidden compartment on the remote, everything works like I'd expect it to.  I was skeptical and bought the longest warranty I could buy, but I am pleasantly pleased, and would highly recommend purchase to others who are looking for more than a low end machine.
