Does it make good quality dvds? do they skip? is it picky on what kind of dvds you use?

Dvd's I have done for Church services , makes perfect copies, I have a 10 tower copier, sometimes I get a failure or two , but I found that some of the devices loose connection in the wiring harness some how, and are not recognized , or the message I get is device not found. It will read 11 devices if all are working, if it don't say 11, then you will get failures. I can usually replugged the devices and it will recognize it. Then it will work a few weeks and it will happen again. Otherwise I really like it , saves lots of time, I just have to check, make sure it saids 11 devices when I start it up . I make 40 to 50 copies at special occasion with great result.

Yes, it makes good quality dvd's matching exactly what is on the master dvd. You can skip search thru the copy same as done on the master. All dvd's will eventually fade away, so I would suggest buying archival dvd blanks if you want duration. Also do not write on the face side of the dvd with a felt marking pen because the ink will eventually leach thru the disk and destroy the stored image on the dvd. Use a label instead.

Yea it hasn't given me any problems so far. I've used it to play games and load like music CDs I'm not sure about DVDs though.

Mr., Miss, or Ms?To answer your question, I have used the disk cleaner in all my machines and so far so good. I also have an older DVD player plus an older DVD recorder plus my Blu-Ray and I have cleaned all of them OK. with the disk cleaner in question. My hobby is seeing and collecting movies so I use my machines many hours a month. The disk cleaner did a super job on all of them and restored them back to original operating condition. I cannot guaranty it will work on your machine but it did work on all mine. "RAF"

I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine. For some reason the high def MP4s won't play on mine but the standard size MP4 plays just fine. I have settled on using the VOB format for most of my video and they look fine on my 55" screen. I haven't tried the surround sound with the videos yet. For some videos (kids movies) I rip the DVD to the standard MP4 because the videos digitize fast and the file size is small, about 1 to 2 GB, compared to the VOB file size of 3 to 5 GB. This could be one of the coolest electronic things I have purchased. I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine.

Thanks for the reply.I assume it's a non-issue, but does it also do a good job of playing Pal DVDs on a PAL TV?

The standard carts are higher quality. I have gotten smudges from the black inkI don't have any experience with DVDs.

I wish I could help but I bought mine brand new on Amazon about a year and a half ago. The unit is a nice one and I have not had any problems with it. It plays all formats and getting a 5 or 6 dvd changer that also has HD upscaling is getting pretty hard to find.Realistically, I cannot see ANYONE selling a dvd player WITHOUT a remote since it is almost useless without it.

I have had mine for a few months now and I am very happy with it. The remote buttons are a little tricky, but I love being able to watch DVDs from any region.

Yes- We play very few Blu-ray and the unit has had no issues with either commercial DVD's or most I have burned in the past. It does not play DVD ROM's (which kind of stinks because I'd burned a lot of older TV series to this format) It also will not play most +R recorded media (sometime yes, usually no) so check what media you burned to.

Works very well for me. I have tried mkv, avi, and mp4 with no problems at all. Only issue I have is if it is a blu-ray "backup" it will not play that. Any other "backup" from standard dvd's plays perfectly. I have been very pleased with the quality of this device in all aspects other than the blu-ray backups. Hope this helps.

I've had this player for about six months with a few freezing issues, all with Netflix Blu-ray movies. I also tried the movies on my other Blu-ray players that also had issues at the same point or not starting at all. I have 3 other Sony Blu-ray players and a Samsung 5000 Blu-ray/HD-DVD player. I notified Netflix of the issue & I had them send me another copy of W. which played perfectly on all players so it had to be the disc. I find that I clean all Netflix movies before playing them because they tend to be so dirty. I love the picture quality on Blu-ray and the upconversion on DVD seems to be as good as my Toshiba HD-DVD XA2.

Karen, I cannot find anything in any descriptions that say it records in HD, but it sure looks like it does to me. The only reference I can find about it's HD is it "supports full hd 1080p upconversion". I tape HD shows onto the hard drive, edit out segments that I don't want, then I burn them to a DVD. I never record directly to the DVD, because I like to edit first, but I'm sure it would work beautifully. The quality of the DVDs cut from the hard drive is, in my opinion, excellent but I can't absolutely swear they're technically HD. I would recommend the product, it's the best recorder I've ever had. I hope my comments have helped a little. Larry Karen, I cannot find anything in any descriptions that say it records in HD, but it sure looks like it does to me.

Are the video and audio inputs you're talking about the red, white and yellow colored wires? I use that now with my recorder which I'd like to get rid of although it records great. I bought a Sony dvd recorder from Best Buy and not even 6 months later, dvd's that work on my other Sony 5 disc player, skipped and froze when I played them on the recorder. My dvd recorder makes so much noise. Has anyone had any problems with the Toshiba after having it for some time? It sounds like a really good deal for the price! Thanks.

The remote works fine, but there is an inherent hesitation for everything you do. It works great on Blu-ray, but I noticed that when I am using Netflix, sometimes the machine just hangs-up and stops working altogether, and I have to basically "reboot" it by turning it off and then back on. It has it's hicups, but for the money I guess it isn't too bad a machine. It is just a little aggravating sometimes. But if you buy one and have trouble with it, I discovered a trick to get it to update correctly. This takes care of most of the problems these machines have (I have 3 of them). If you buy one send me another message through Amazon and I will help you with it if you want. The remote works fine, but there is an inherent hesitation for everything you do.

It plays both regular DVDs and bluray DVDs beautifully. I have not tried to record DVD movies. Have used DVD-Rs to write data/files and it works just fine. Also copied CDs that worked fine too.
