Great Product!!

I bought this as a scratch and dent. It was fairly inexpensive, but I was worried it wouldn't work with the new digital changes coming up. Some feedback was that the instructions to install were difficult. Mine did not come with instructions, so I downloaded them off the web. I'm am totally technically challenged, but I CAN READ!! I had it hooked up in about 10 minutes (back and forth to the computer) We've had no problems with it, and if it doesn't work in 2009, OH, WELL!!!

Works good but a little slow

I like this so far. I have used it to record VHS to DVDs and it works good. My only complaint is that it is a little slow, and takes some practice to figure it all out. Of course it could be me. I did call tech support with some questions and they were very polite and helpful.

Toshiba D-VR5 DVD Play/Record w/VCR

EXACTLY what I was NEEDED! This is no toy! There seems to be some negative
comments due to the Lag-Time between the time that you turn on the recorder,
and when it opens the tray: --- Patience, Grasshopper! --- this machine does so
much more!

IT'S A COMPUTER! Allow it to go through it's boot-up process, after which the
responses are just as fast as any other DVD Player It's a tool, you need to read
the manual throughly but once you understand the concept, it's very simple.
AT LAST! I can transfer my MASSIVE VHS Library! Unfortunately some had al-
ready begun to degrade. BACK & FORTH!!!! Far Out! VHS to DVD & Vice Versa!

Aside from the ability to handle the newest blank media (includ. RAM & DOUBLE
SIDED Disks) the best part is being able to record off my TV! It's every bit as easy
to record multiple 5 minute segments of a newsreel, or a 6 hour congressional
meeting at the touch of a button as it had been on my old VCR.

TV, VCR, Now DVD-R <--- All TOSHIBA! ;) I just keep coming back!
