Toshiba D-R400 Tunerless 1080p Upconverting DivX Certified DVD Recorder Review



$199.99




the Good:

This is my second Home DVD recorder and I experienced no bugs in the operation of the Toshiba. The price at 140 is excellent for this quality. It reads any dvd from any recorder I’ve tried, including several which won’t read on other players and recorders. It has excellent flexibility in editing, including a way to cut out unwanted segments of your program. I have a 47″ HDTV and the HDMI output is excellent in HD modes, this recorder does a good job of upconverting.

the Bad:

The title editing is a little lame and time consuming, though it works correctly. The remote control is all black and complex, making it hard to find the correct buttons sometimes. Different discs DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD+RW are strangely limited in the menu choices for recording, depending on which type of disc you are using. The DVD-RW has full functionality in the menu. I don’t know if it is just the DR400 or if others have these limitations. PCs don’t. My old ILO DVD Recorder didn’t have the functionality to begin with. Read the manual to see what I’m talking about.

Overall:

The best Home Entertainment DVD recorder I’ve seen rivaling a PC in functionality, except for speed and software. I think this product is sold out and I’m glad I got a new one.
