After a month, sometimes it will tape and sometimes not. All the wires are hooked properly, but yet it seems to have a mind of its own. Toshiba SD-V295 Tunerless DVD VCR Combo Player.I have never been so disgusted with the setup of this machine. I do not recommend this product.
I looked over the manual to make sure all hook ups were donr right and they are. (13 years ago) My sister had a Toshiba and she said it was a good product. And you can't hear anything from all the noise. I really do NOT like this product. Also when I try to tape my shows on the VCR and watch them the next day the tape jumps and there are lines that look like it is trying to track the tape by itself when I had just bought the tape. I am stuck with it the warranty is out and I am not gonna pay out more money to have it fixed when Toshiba should learn how to make GOOD products. I had my cable box checked and there is nothing wrong with it.
I am really really upset with this. I had bought this DVD/VCR in Feb 08, @ HH GREGG/ to replace the one my parents got me when I was 12 years old. I am not sure exactly what happened that would make it do that. So I bought it and I regret it. I have had to throw away at least 10 of my tapes because this product has messed them up. I do not reccommend this product.
My 10 year old Mitsubishi that this was supposed to replace was outputting perfect picture on the same setup. This unit outputs blurred and faintly colored video in both vcr and dvd modes, had to return back for a full refund. Highly unrecommended, what a disappointment in Toshiba.
I would say my only real complaint would be that Toshiba is still using the very small remote that they have used for the last 3 years on these combos units they make. Only thing I don't know yet is if it will last. NO biggie though. Only time will tell, but my last unit is almost identical and has lasted 3 years. It works but if it really bothers you just buy an inexpensive universal remote that has buttons more to your liking.The cosmetics on this combo are very pleasing. Build quality seems good for the price and it really does look nice. I bought this as a backup for my current VCR which also happens to be a Toshiba combo that I bought almost 3 years ago.
No HDMI connection, but the component video jacks display a good quality picture. (which by the way still works great) This new unit has all the functionality you will need to playback your pre recorded tapes and make new recordings as long as you have some sort of outboard cable box/tuner. The DVD player section is fine.
I bought this unit mainly for the VCR, and it works fine. The lack of a tuner actually is a benefit in my case because (for some unknown reason) the tuner of my previous VCR conflicted with my cable box, causing a snowy picture and poor quality recording.I also use the DVD player to play music CD's I've created on my computer.This was just what I was looking for at a very good price.
