So I ended up with 2 hour DVDs with no chapters to skip to. Manual is confusing but isnt to hard to play with and figure out. Of course it wont record in HD so I have to unplug it to watch HD again, but this is still no the DVDs fault. This did not however repeat the chapters on the disc and the AUTO chapter I cant figure out either, its turned on but doesn't work.
It does record HD DVR events but not in HD.The play back quality is good, better from the VCR tapes than original but not as good as on TV since I get HD. I switched to DVD-R and they worked great in other DVD players, which allowed me to dub DVD to DVD to make copies for family.
I had the same problem with the static as an earlier reviewer, copy protected error, but I simply stopped during the static and restarted when the movie picked up again, this was caused by the camera being shut off incorrectly. The only way I figured out to make them were stopping and starting the recording.
Recorded great from my TV (actually my Satellite Box) and from the DVR in the box, so I can record a show to DVR first and if I decide to keep it simply record it to a DVD. This is my first DVD recorder, except for my computer.
It made for a lot of chapters sometimes but isnt the DVDs fault.I started with DVD+RW but couldn't get them to play in my other DVDs, even after finalizing. Was recording in minutes.
Purchased it primeraly to transfer my home movies onto DVD and it works GREAT. Purchased or rented DVDs play excellent tho.Overall I would recommend the Dvr610 as long as you have cable or satellite, why pay more for a tuner if you already have one.
Don't bother calling Toshiba. I purchased this three weeks ago and STILL can't get it to work properly. You don't get help, just attitude.
Although I no longer keep VHS copies of anything, the player still works fabulously to simply play DVDs. I had a pile of VHS tapes that I was able to throw away after copying them with this brilliant product. I was a genius to have purchased this product.
Product came on time and works great. Does a great job reveiwing tapes. Everything went right. Satisfied.
YOU WONT BE SORRY.Also I'm in the television/video industry so I'm more critical. great everything.Order it. I had a very bad experience with another manufactures DVD combo recorder.This TOSHIBA unit is excellent. great features. This is a great unit for the money.
