Customer Review: Adequate basic recorder
I was looking for a second entry-level -R/RW recorder, having already got a Funai 2737 (which does the job fine). Decided to try the Toshiba as it had the benefit of Chase Play. In actual fact, this Toshiba seems to be the same underlying chassis as the Funai, with a different (somewhat more attractive) fascia. All rear ports and the user interface are all identical. The only difference is the addition of chase play. If you are drawn to this machine because of this feature then beware. Chase play can only be used when recording in quality setting of long play, or lower. This is tolerable on a small screen TV, but the quality when viewed on a large screen is barely acceptable, more or less making chase play a feature you will never use anyway. Apart from that, the unit looks and works fine, however, it might be worth considering the Funai and saving yourself ?25.
Customer Review: Not a bad machine, just too noisy
This machine has some very good points, but its too noisy to be used in a living room. Ours was RMAed. On the plus side: - Discs are initalised quickly, you can be recording on DVD-R within 20 secs. - The menu system is clear and easy to use - The DVD playing machanism is very quiet, you can’t hear the disc spinning at all - The DVD-R disc recorded played perfectly in Pioneer DVD (Dv464), Argos in Car DVD and PC. - It can play CDs of Jpegs. However the downsides out weight these good features: - Its very noisy, there is case fan at the back, that is always on when the recorder is. Watching Planet Earth with the DVD recording is, unconfortable, there is a constant whiring. Its 3 or 4 times noisyer than my AV reciever and I thought that was noisy! - remote control is “boxy” and square, hence unconfortable in the hand. - DVD-R take a LONG time to finalise, over 20 Mins. - It cannot play DVD-R discs of photo JPEGs burnt on my PC, that my Pioneer DVD player plays fine. Hence only 3 stars I’m afraid ….

Customer Review: Dissappointed
Had the unit for a few weeks now, have found it OK as far as recording to HDD, but thats only if I’m not watching anything else at the same time! As it interferes with the TV station that I’m watching. It is very slow at start-up, seems like ages before I can do anything! and the drive is a little noisy. I live in an area where there is very poor digital signal, so dont have alot of channels to view via the set, no ITV or CH4, and sometimes no BBC!… hope that will change in the future. In the meantime I have to record via the satelite, which defeats its object really!
Customer Review: Dissapointing
Sorry, but I have to go against the flow here. I found this machine both difficult to use and unreliable. So much so that I had to take advantage of Amazon’s excellent return policy. I now have a sony RDRHXD560S which I find simnplicity itself to use and excellent quality.

Customer Review: Love It!!
This for me is as close to getting Sky+ as I can get without having to shell out for one of Mr Murdoch’s whizzy boxes! I’m impressed with the Guide+, but I’ve noticed that if a programme is shown at a different time the following week the guide doesn’t follow suit. However, the fact that I can get it to change channels on Sky is a big bonus, I can now record what I like on whichever channel I like without using Sky’s EPG. OK, the Guide+ doesn’t list all channels on Sky, but for me the key ones are there, and you can manually enter channel numbers anyway. The 160GB HDD is more than enough space, I’ve been recording programmes left right and centre, and hooking it up to a VCR to transfer material from VHS to HDD is easy peasy. The picture quality is fine, I use SP for programmes to watch at a later date, and the editing functions are great.
Customer Review: Fantastic machine changes the way you watch tv
The previous reviews seem concerned about the lack of network capability to transfer mp3 files from a PC. I think this entirely misses the point. The Pioneer records TV at great quality and you can edit the recording (with ease) to remove adverts etc before saving to DVD-R if you so wish. But the best thing is that the machine comes with Guide+ from which you can schedule timed recordings. These recordings can be made using the internal tuner or from external decoders such as SKY satellite box or Freeview boxes. Up to 3 of these can be connected and an infared cable changes channel on the decoders when required. This is the fantastic bit. You choose which channels appear in Guide+ and tell which decoder they can be found on. I couldn't find another box that was capable of doing all this. And it is all easy to do, I didn't have to refer to the pretty comprehensive manual at all. And yes you can store your music collection on it too if you want to. When you consider that all the other MP3 music servers that I have seen cost over £600 it's not bad to have this thrown in on a video device that shouldn't cost you more than £330. So the music side is not so comprehensive as a full music server but they cost over double and they don't do video. So if you want to record programmes from SKY and don't want a monthly subscription to SKY+ then this does what you need and more. It's almost like SKY++

Customer Review: very very NOISY
This is only an average product. I previously owned the Panasonic DMR E-55 model which was RAM and -R compatible only so i was expecting this to be a big improvement. It isn’t. It’s biggest drawback is the amount of noise it makes while playin discs. I thought it was a fault and sent it back and amazon very quickly sent another but it was the same so i presume it’s just the way this model works. Even when you press stop it continues to whirr for about 5 mins. Also when you put in a -RW dvd you must finalise it before it will play on another dvd player which really makes the function useless. I intended to record programs on RW in one room while kids watched their dvds in sitting room, then watch what i had taped later on in the sitting room but it would cost me a dvd RW every time. Finally it sure is ugly.
Customer Review: Panasonic DVD RAM recorders recording.
To those who can’t record TV programmes whilst away on holiday, I wish you well. There is no reason why this cannot be achieved. Two ways. Way 1 1:Set up the Digi box either Sat or Freeview onto AV2 SCART on the recorder. 1.1:Set recorder to start and finish at times required and specify AV2 as program. 1.2:Set the programmes required on the favouites list on the digi box. 1.3.Set Timer. Note, you could even use Video Plus and check that the entry for program has used AV2. It usually does. Way 2. Set up digi box as way 1. With SAT (including FreeSat), set up programmes required in the favourites list (make sure they won’t clash through setting program links). Set the recorder to External link via remote or on the front panel depending on model of recorder. The signal used by SKY+ sent by the programme distributer will start the recorder and switch it off into standby. Note that if you use the programme menu on a sat box whilst the recording is happening, the recorder will loose the continiuity signel and stop recording. The first way is the best but be sure to synchronise the favourites list and the recording times. Then turn your telly off at the mains and go on holiday.
