This product will be used to make quick DVDs from old VHS training tapes. I wanted a system that was very easy for non-technical people to use and produced good results. So far, it looks great. You can get as complicated as you want, making a multi-cut DVD with individual titles; or just a simple one-off. The manual is lengthy and reasonably well written. However, like so many instruction sets, by over-simplifying it makes an easy job more complicated. So far, so good.

Just needed a basic VHS to DVD or reverse transfer unit. This was it. Hey it even upconverts and has HDMI port. So the hookup is easy easy !!! Does what it needs to for the price paid. If it survives all my tape VHS to DVD Transfer that will be perfect. The manual is easy for even a novice user.

Very easy to set up and use. Agree that number of possible applications options makes instruction book look a bit dense at first but it is totally clear. I have dubbed both Mini-DV tapes and old fashioned VHS Compact C tapes with no problems.

This recorder allows me to archive all of my videotapes collected over the previous 25 years to DVDs. It also provides double duty to be a videotape player for those videotapes that make it into the house. It is well built and not a piece of flimsy plastic like so many other HT devices.

I have been copying segments of tapes made by my Sony handycams (one analog and one digital on tape)and the results provide very good quality images. So far, I have made 15 discs and the machine has worked flawlessly. I had a frustrating experience with a competitors model two years ago, so I was hesitant to buy any DVD recorder after that experience and reading all the troubles people are reporting eith other brands. But, based on the reviews posted here, I decided to take a chance on this mfr and model.

First, the unit allows pausing during the recording so I can go forwards and backwards on the handycam to do scene sequencing. My earlier adventure required shutting the DVD recorder off in order to do that, with the resultant video and audio flutter and broken images on re-start of the recording. This one does it seamlessly!!!

I also copy TV programs from my DVR's hard disk drive onto DVDs so that I have a permanent copy. I do this manually. I set up the DVD recorder, select the DVR show, hit Record and Play, and the copying starts. I leave the room while it copies and use a kitchen timer to know when to go back and turn off the DVD unit.

I will say that the unit has alot of features I will never use (like timer recording) and the instruction manual naturally has to cover everything, so it is an imposing document. BUT..it has to be one of the most understandable and logical manuals ever produced. They really put an effort into step by step procedures for each operation. Applicable steps are shown next to a picture of the remote on which the applicable keys are darkened. Very nice idea for us normal humans. As others have mentioned, read through the manual to get a feel for its organization, note the glossary and index, and then begin to enter language, date, and other preferences per the sequence in the manual. I was impressed that Toshiba listed EXACTLY what discs to get. They have several manufacturer's and speed listed, which I followed. I was not sure about the differences between R factors. Mystery about plus, minus, and RW is clarified on a nice table for the user. I used the big online store to order the specific brand discs. So far, I think this is an excellent choice in DVD recorders for my purpose.

I did make my own set of steps/choices for formatting and recording and finalizing. That way I do not have to have the manual at hand.

We are transferring our old home VHS videos over to DVD and needed an easy,inexpensive way to do it. This was just the ticket! I just pop a VHS tape in,put a DVD in,hit dub and walk away. Two hours later it is finished.

Bought it to transfer VHS to DVD. Guess we did not realize how poor vhs quality was. Playing it on a large LCD tv the picture is not clear.

I bought the product to use with some old VCR tapes and possibly burn them to DVDs. The UP conversion for HD TVs is okay...just not the same picture if you've gotten used to blu ray. Works well and is easy to use. Good for old DVDs/VCRs but not for everyday use with HD TVs.
