I bought this model in the Fall of 2011. Don't know which is the best model as I have not purchased another.

I believe the 457 model came out in 2009. 427 was earlier by a year or so, I think. Not sure. I think the unit was branded Magnavox but manufactured by Funai.

I have no idea when this model came out, but I sure glad it did. I purchase mine in the fall of this year. I very pleased with my recorder. I have had no problems it and I have used it almost everyday since I bought it. I give it a 5 star rating.

Didn't realize a few days ago that the Toshiba VHS/DVD is very similar to the one I had about 8-10 years ago. I had purchased probably 15 Disney movies if not more, the Toshiba up graded the Disney movies to DVD, & kept disney VHS (like new).The recorder VHS/DVD has alot more features than I care to have on the unit. I just put" All DOGS GO To Heaven" on dvd for the grandkids when here.

I previously owned a Toshiba DVR that would record,to the hard drive,all cables channels.That was in the analog days.The previously mentioned DVD/VCR recorder will not record anything to DVD or video tape that is on certain cable channels (Discovery,for example).It contains a QAM digital tuner. Are you saying that the Magnovox MDR515H will not record the copyguarded channels,even to it's hard drive ? I do not intend to attempt to make DVD copies,just time shift programming.I know,of course,the DVRs provided by the cable company will do this with all channels provided.

I currently use 3 different models constantly (for hours everyday) and my favourite is Magnavox MDR533H/F7 Hard Disc Drive and DVD Recorder (2013 Model), with it you can record to an internal hard disk drive or onto a dvd ( I use the rerecordable DVDs over and over so I never miss a thing) you can also dub between drives in either direction and watch a drive while recording at the same time. Maybe the most impressive thing to me about this is that one SUNDAY afternoon I had a problem with the unit after a power outage and I called the 800 number which is prominently displayed on the manual and remote, actually expecting to get a recording if anything at all, instead I got a live technician that lived in the USA, spoke perfect English and understood the product enough to perfectly resolve the issue.. ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON!! I'll definitely get another one. The Iview that you apparently are looking at is ok too but rudimentary in odd ways and you must supply your own USB HDD and not sure if you can rig it to record on a DVD Haven't tried that yet, but the tuner is fast when flipping through channels. Good Luck!!

I purchased a Toshiba dvd/vcr combination recorder/ player. It is model # DVR670KU. I have never been able to get it to work. I have a Sony LCD Digital Color TV (Bravia). Even the cable guy could not get it to work. I bought it on Ebay (first mistake) and they would not take it back. I have had it 2 years and yet to get it to record or play a dvd. What am I doing wrong.

While watching from (or via) the Magnavox (output to my TV), I am only able to watch a program pre-recorded on the HDD/DVR at the same time that another program is being recorded. Cannot tune to more than one station at a time (to record one, while attempting to watch another). . .Not sure I quite understand J. Kavanaugh's answer, but sounds like something cool to learn to do!

You didn't look at the manual did you? There is a page on the DVD's that this Toshiba will record on, unfortunately it's very few. Really to record you have to find disks that are cprm compatible. I emailed TDK about which of their dvd disks that are cprm compatible, and they told me they don't sell them in the US, only in europe or outside of the US. the movie and music industry has clamped down on people copying their media. Go to your electronics store and see how many DVD RECORDERS they have. You won't find many, players yes but not recorders. Even with such disks I tried to copy a movie from one of the premium channels and on the tv screen, it said it would not copy. Ten years ago it worked, not anymore.

I have the Toshiba D-R410KU model that I bought in the Summer of 2009. I've recorded and watched nearly 4000 movies since then, and it's still holding up fine. I'd imagine the DR410 1080p is simply the newest version of the one I have, and the one I have definitely both records and plays.

I would like to find a good working recorder to keep an eye on things when I am away from home or out of my motel room. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy a hidden video recorder that is not real expensive and one that works?

I returned mine. I have a Magnavox that I am very happy with and will order another one.

Do you experience "copy-protected error messages", while trying to record a movie from the T. V. ? If Toshiba's are famous for this, can you reccomend a recorder that will let you record movies on thr T. V.Tom

yes!!, i always recommend that customers get a owner's manual fo this machine. the manual gives step by step, easy instructions for this process. just insert the tape,press record, this should record the selected title for your enjoyment, then, as long as the vhs tape is compatable with the magnavox machine(see manual) it should play back easily. another tip is when loading/unloading vhs tapes be very very careful, use great care, as, the vhs unit tends to be a bit fragile....i hope the info is helpful...enjoy this machine....good luck..

You have to use a dual DVD VHS Player /Recorder. I use a Sylvania DVR90VF, about 6 years old. Expect to pay $200.00 to $300.00 for a good one. I have made several conversions in the past. Eliminate the tapes-saves space and better quality.

My old one (same model) became increasingly fussy about discs before it just refused to record on any. They are notoriously fussy about recording on DVD- discs. I think the formatting has changed also over the years, so they cannot record on some DVD+ discs. It's best to just record on DVD+ anyway, b/c the Toshiba, for instance, will convert an older DVD+ disc so you can finish out, edit and finalize, but all the Toshiba will do is play an unfinalized DVD- disc. Find a brand that works for your recorder, and stick with that brand, DVD+ only. If your recorder gets fussy woth THOSE, it's probably not going to last much longer.
