How it sucks

click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first
However, could never get the dubbing to work for more than a few minutes--kept sending error signals and stopped recording. Toshiba's phone assistance folks tried to be helpful but never found a solution. I had to return it, and I have to give high praise to Amazon for the ease with which I was able to return the product.

What a junk of a product! The remote and the power button on the unit sometimes do not respond at all, so you have no choice but to unplug it. I have had to take a disc out and watch it on my computer, where I was able to do with ease.

the sound control is poor. the recorder is not user friendly. i wish i had purchased it locally so that i could return it.

My unit upconverts up to 720p only. The audio coming out is delayed by a couple of seconds, no less. After calling Toshiba support, they said warranty for labor is only up to 3 months, and they would charge me $70.

This causes the unit to lock up and then you have to unplug it from the outlet. It does a terrible job at playing DVD-R and CD-R recorded discs. It does not handle many types of AVI and MPG recorded files and when it does play them the playback is choppy.

video imput has changed, the dvd counter goes back to zero and dubbings stops... i have already ruined 2 dozen dvd's. sent the unit back to toshiba, got it back 10days later, and it was repacked into the box within 30mins to go rite back to them...

i am very disappointed with this product. the player was unable to play a disc previously recorded.

I haven't used that feature yet but the product is so bad in other ways I wanted to get this review out now. The unit overheats after about an hour or two of DVD play.

How it doesn't

Works great. Great value for the price. I saw some of the expensive ones out there and after reading reviews decided to go with this product.

tech tells me the unit might be sensing a glitch in the 8mm tape (hogwash, it is a pan of the grand canyon), or it senses a copyright infrigment/etc/etc.
