| Review | Rating | Last Updated | good dvd recorder
Seems to be a good dvd recorder at a resonable price. I had some trouble setting it up at first, but by going over the manual several times I got it working right. The only thing is I wish you could watch one program and record another, I don't think you can with this one.I'm satisfied with the purchase. Paul | 3 | Today | Awesome!
This was my second DVD Recorder and its leagues better than the Magnavox one I owned previously. I've had it for a month now and have had no issues at all. It records wonderfully and I've had zero issues with playback. | 5 | Today | Great DVD Recorder at a great price
Works like a charm. Even records show from my DVR which were from premium channels. Can't figure out how to get rid of the band on the top and bottom of the screen. Haven't used it enough. Would definitely recommend. | 4 | Today | Upconverting
This DVD is just perfect for my 1080p projector. Its digital TV tuner is amazing. I still have not had time to try out the recording capabilities. But so far I am completely satisfied with my purchase. | 5 | Today | Great choice for a play anything recorder vs. price
I was in the market for a DVD recorder to replace my Magnavox which was killed by lightning. My old recorder was one year old and in that year I have come to realize several things:
1. If you look at the reviews; it seems all units, all manufacturer's have their problem.
2. The main problem is the consumer's buying and writing the unfavorable reviews. These units are not as simple as operating a VCR. This is new technology and it requires that you read the manual or at least the quick start guide.
3. DVD recorders are basically computers focused against a single task. As such, things happen. the computing world is not perfect. Out of 100 discs recorded, I had a problem with 1 and it could have been the media or my own error.
4. There seems to be only a few companies manufacturing DVD recorders and they brand them differently. The file menu and choices for this unit are very similar to the Magnavox. Plus this unit will finalize my old discs for play on any DVD player.
With that in mind, let's talk about the Toshiba D-R550. It performs as advertised, it records DVD's and also plays multiple formats including Divx.
The menu is easy to understand and timer record is what you expect until you reach the quality setting. Should you record on the highest setting? Dunno, disc's are cheap and I encourage you to try all but the poorest setting. For me, the 6 hour option works well for cable TV recording. After all, this is not a HD recorder and if it were the only true HD to be recorded is over the air. Cable HD is not true HD. Recording HD movies is not possible so my question is why would you record a the highest setting? Oh yeah, discs are cheap and organization may be easier.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this recorder especially when you consider the price.
Don't forget to finalize your disc if you plan on viewing it on a normal DVD player. | 5 | Today | Toshiba D-R550
So far so good! Product has been easy to use and has provided quality recordings. Takes time at end of disk to write/finalize. Just need to plan accordingly when doing programming. | 4 | Today | It does what it does very well.
I bought this DVD-R for two reasons. The first reason was to add a DVD Recorder to my entertainment system to be able to archive things that I wanted to keep longer from my DVR, and the second reason was to add DiVX playback functionality to my entertainment system.
This unit does both of these things very well.
I must admit that I attempted to burn an SD copy of a Blu-ray movie by utilizing the analog (composite) outputs on the Blu-ray to no avail. As soon as the Blu-ray became the active source feed the DVD recorder stopped recording. If you changed the input source to, say, the cable box the DVD recorder would automatically continue recording. My point is just that if you are hoping to copy an SD back-up of your Blu-ray discs it probably won't work due to a very high level of copy-protection.
One other thing that might be considered a "con" is that the menu system is a bit convoluted. Naming a disc after you've recorded it, but before you've finalized it can be a bit tricky since you only have a remote control to do it with.
Bottom line is that if I still needed to buy a DVD recorder and a DiVX player I would definitely buy this unit again. I paid $130 for mine and I probably wouldn't pay much more than that, though... certainly not above $150.
It's a good product that does a good job. I'm satisfied with my purchase. | 4 | Today | Toshiba DR550
Good: Upconverted DVDs look good. Four fast forward/back speeds.
Bad: A little slow to load DVDs. Menus are not intuitive. | 4 | Today | d-r550 is trouble
the toshiba d-r550 ruined 6 discs in less than 30 days by making them unrecordable. it also made clunking sounds recording and playing back recorded discs. this problem also occurred in their analog dvd recorder. | 1 | Today | recorder works great
recorder works great programming is very easy except there is no TV program guide bummer I am using memorex +RW and they work great. I record the program and put the dvd straight into my computer and copy it then put it back into the recorder and erase it I'v done that 50 times with the same dvd +RW | 4 | Today |
