 Good product November 17, 2009
Buddy Mulkey (Guntersville, AL)
The recorder works well. Picks up digital channels from our cable provider, which is the main reason I bought it. Only flaw I have seen so far was mentioned in another review, the clock loses 9 minutes within a day after setting it. My work around seems to fix it, on initial setting I set clock forward ahead by 9 minutes and the next day it is right. Did this a week ago and clock stays correct.
Good Machine With Big Manual! November 3, 2009

I ordered this directly from Amazon back in April and received it when this model was released in July. The instruction manual is over 100 pages and one needs to use it a lot at first.

br /Thus far I have recorded programs on both VHS tape and DVD and dubbed a home VHS tape to DVD and it does a good job. It IS rather complicated. I have a digital HD LCD flat screen TV and it works well. The big hurdle is the big instruction book. Takes a little time to learn all the aspects of the machine. I did need someone to help me hook it up via my cable box. I used an HDMI cable rather the the supplied connectors. Glad I did.
 Even better than I expected October 27, 2009

Have used this recorder for three weeks now after the ol' VCR died and it works even better than I had hoped. The digital tuner can pick up all the "clear" local HDTV signals on Cablevision's cable system so now (using a simple splitter) I can record one show at 480p using the DVD while watching another in full HD either via the TV's tuner or via the cable box. Or record any of remaining channels non-clear channels using the cable box's S-Video out (the best you can use as external recording input source). The quality of the resulting tuner recordings (in 2 hour SP mode) is almost as good as the original as seen on a 720p TV (and I am very picky in that respect), and it is certainly far better than the VCR side. Plus, the DVD-RW discs are of course re-usable via an erase (or format, as Toshiba calls it). Recording is almost one-touch; really very convenient. I can't see any reason to record anything on a VHS tape again. This box is a great alternative to the monthly fee for a HD based DVR if you do not need any of the fancy programing and scheduling features that come with such other options.
br /
br /I bought a set of 10 Sony DVD-RW disks and they work as expected. I can view recordings on my PC and also create DVDs on my PC (in DVD-VR mode only so far, via NeroVision) which are then viewable on this unit. I have not been successful in creating AVI movies that the unit is happy with but after converting such movies (or WMV files etc.) to DVD-VRs I can view them on this unit just fine. It also played mixed folders of JPGs in slideshow format, although if you have many files in a directory any kind of manual navigation gets a little tedious. I have not tried any of the other myriad supported formats yet other than a CD-R music CD which also played as expected.
br /
br /I tried VCR-DVD recording ("dubbing", as the manual calls it) and it works as expected but the quality is just so much worse than a HDTV tuner-DVD recording but that is just a limitation of the VHS technology. It did seem that the quality of VCR playback was a little worse than on my old 15 or so year old Mitsubishi but since the latter died I was not able to do side by side comparisons. However, this unit serves its purpose well of digitizing old home movies etc. before the tapes degrade even further.
br /
br /The only small negatives are the almost impossible to read "gray on black" text on the remote (now who thought that would be cool?), and the slightly noisy VCR motor or fan (?) that is always on when the unit is powered on.
br /
br /All in all, I am very impressed with this unit's performance and even the manual is quite readable I thought and I have had no issues with what I have tried to use it for so far.

Toshiba DVD/VHS DVR670 Recorder October 25, 2009

The reviews and details of this product were right on. It was not difficult to set up. Took a little time to understand the basics since the DVD has many options for use. My old VCR was extremely simple but I can now tape timed programs on the VCR and also on the DVD. I am still learning playback which has too many buttons to easily understand. I used the VCR transfer to DVD feature which worked ok. Quality of picture was not as good as I would like but I am still learning the many options to improve this.
br /
br /For a person who's VCR has died and not an electronics genius, this is as simple as you can find for replacement. It will take a few tries to find the right buttons to do the basic functions but the manual is detailed and easy to understand. I am pleased with the product.
