Toshiba D-VR4X Multi-Drive DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
My own experience
In looking at the other reviews, I felt I needed to base one on my own experience after having the DVD recorder/combo for over 3 months. <br /> <br />I have had it freeze up and need to be unplugged twice, usually after I have left the unit turned on for 2-3 weeks without shutting it off. <br /> <br />I will agree the VCR/DVD light is bright, but it is easy to tell which you are set to. The light for the clock is very dim when the set is turned off. <br /> <br />As for performance, I'm enjoying the DVD burner. It works well, and I have very few issues. (See above). I would recommend reading the manual first though. While not entirely necessary its a good idea when you are trying to record movies that run just over 2 hours (due to the DVD media and picking the type of record XP, SP, LP, SLP). <br /> <br />For playback, the movies I burn come in a little dark on my HDTV, while normal DVD's work fine. If I play the burned discs on a computer or other DVD/TV set they look fine. <br /> <br />Overall I think the product is a good buy for a mid-range price.
