4 out of 5 stars   TOSHIBA DR 430 DVD RECORDER
By mrchips on May 28, 2014
Review submitted for Toshiba DR430 - DVD Recorder (TBSDR430)
Pros: Good quality finished DVD
Cons: Questionable Reliability
Other Comments: I have two of these units, which I use in two location to record backup videos for my adult classes. On the positive side, this machine makes a good quality copy, perfectly fine to present in a good-sized auditorium. It's also very inexpensive, just over $100. On the negative side, one unit failed after just 6 months of use. In looking for a replacement there really was none any better for my purposes at any price. And, by the way, over the previous 6 years I found that my dvd recorders at best would survive 3 years of intermittent use. It's obvious DVD recorders in general are now a dying breed, thanks to the determined policy of the big studios to restrict access to many of their classic movies. Moreover in speaking to the big dvd rental company that starts with "N" I understand they are having trouble getting these classic movies, leading to very long wait times-- meaning you'll never see them again. Go to the "B.B." big box store & you will find DVD recorders are simply not available, that is if you don't want a unit with a VHS player built into it! The movie industry and "N" push is to do away with DVD's in favor of absolutely unrecordable (that is, to dvd disc) streaming video, which is far more controllable by the studios and less sub just to piracy. But I digress. I decided to buy another of these Toshiba recorders (yes, a third one) to replace the one that quit. This time I got from buy dig.com the longest service warranty available. As far as buydig.com is concerned, I was pleasantly surprised by the speed with which the recorder was delivered, the availability of the Mack extended warranty, and the competitive pricing. I would give the vendor 5 stars; the Toshiba unit 5 stars for finished quality and 2.5 stars for reliability.

Pros: Easy To Use, Compact, Consistent Performance, Attractive Design
Cons: Low Contrast Remote Type, Slow To Load, Obtuse Manual
Other Comments: Used primarily for time shifting, skipping commercials, and occasionaly recording for posterity. XP and SP speeds give a very good picture but it's all downhill from there.
