Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product Comment: I have had this VCR/DVD combo a few weeks now and I have used it both as a DVD player and VCR to record and play back TV shows. I had seen reviews that loading a DVD is slow and it is marginally slower then the DVD player it replaced but not by much. It is taking a little getting used to programming the recorder, but I think that is just learning the unit. The maual was very clear, but who wants to keep reading the manual. I have not tried using the internal recording modes yet. I purchased the unit mostly because of the digital tuner for the VCR mode. I still time shift shows and this unit is working out just fine for me. Customer Rating: Summary: Some good, some bad Comment: My first Toshiba DV/R 660 had problems. The memory was faulty and the unit had to be replaced. Amazon.com gets an A for good customer service and fast response. The second unit has performed very well and has not given me any trouble. Toshiba customer service in another issue, however, Do not be fooled by the advertising. This unit will not record high definition broadcasts in 1080p. If you find a HD station that is broadcasting in 480p, then the Toshiba will perform as expected. Also, this unit will not copy commercially produced VHS tapes. They have the copyright settings so high that I had to use a time base collector to clean up the tape before I could make one only copy for my personal use. As for most operations, be patient and learn all of the steps. It is a good idea to keep the owner's manual close-by until you have the procedures memorized. Customer Rating: Summary: Toshiba DVR660 Comment: This is the most user UNFRIENDLY product that I have ever purchased. I expected much better from Toshibi. It is extremely annoying to tape using the VCR function and to watch the VCR tapes. After taping it takes 5 or 6 steps to watch the VCR tape after it is completed. There does not seem to have been any thought put into this product by the designers. Customer Rating: Summary: Timer Recording Unreliable Comment: We purchased the Toshiba D-VR660 5 days ago and it has failed to timer record on 3 occasions. We have followed all of the programming instructions including the "timer set" feature which we are familiar with from our old Pioneer DVD recorder. On the occasions when the timer recording failed, the recorder's channel was still set at the previously recorded channel. We are not sure if the tuner failed to change the channel or if the machine shut itself off before the next timer recording began. We have not yet been able to catch the machine at the moment the failed recordings were to begin and there has been no message to explain the failure. The rest of the Toshiba's functions appear to work as promised except that DVDs recorded on our old Pioneer appear washed out when played on the Toshiba. We have yet to try to dub VHS tapes to DVD. We are not sure if we are keeping this unit as we purchased it for the timer recording feature. Customer Rating: Summary: Toshiba DVD/Recorder Comment: So far this has been a great product. Set-up is easy and I have not had any problems putting old VHS recordings onto DVD. I think this is a great product. More Reviews
