Toshiba D-R4 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder
Fantastic specifications but the machine is not reliable.
Its my first DVD recorder and the frustration is high. <br /> <br />I bought it for the nice specifications it offers but the machine is just not working. I returned the first unit after 10 days : It did not recognized any disk I put in, it tells me: clean your disk or unable to recognize the disk or format your diks, and when I tried to format disk, it didn't work for any of them. I returned the machine to the store and they gave me a new one. <br />It did work for 3 weeks, same problems plus extras (problems). The machine would not start in programming mode. Error code 14 on the display when you wake up in the morning.  I returned the machine to the store and they gave me my money back. My lost: I bough for 75 dollars of very specific disks and nothing works on this machine.  I think Toshiba must take back dozens of those every day .  They blew this one I guess.   <br />A tip here, If you buy any DVD recorder, ask for a 30 day satisfaction garantee and don t buy too many blank disk and run <br />the machine for 30 consecutive days and try all features, this is homework but if it does not work great, send it back.  This way the manufacturer will make efforts to deliver reliable products. <br /> <br />Good luck
