It's much lighter than a stand alone DVD recorder. The negative side is the one I used to record depositions with did not even last 12 months. Sony refunded my entire purchase price under the terms of the warranty as they did not have parts to repair it. If you don't need heavy duty use, it is a great little machine. The reason cost is high in my opinion is because they are discontinued and no longer available.

DVD recorders can record off the air programs only if they have a "tuner". The Toshiba DVR670 does have one, but the Toshiba DVR620, for example, does not. A recorder with a tuner can be programmed just like VCR's. DVD discs come in several "flavors" the most common being DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW. All of these are compatible with most recorders, the +RW and -RW ones can be "erased" and rewritten, while the +R and -R cannot.

I have a dvr through directv. I'm thinking about getting this toshiba dvd recorder. Let me make sure I understand... If I have a show recorded on my dvr, I can then record it to a dvd in my dvd recorder? But while the dvr'ed show is being recorded to dvd, I cannot watch a different show? Is this correct?? Thank you anyone for your help. I have some shows that have been on my dvr for a long time now that I occasionally like to rewatch and would much rather have them on dvd so hopefully this toshiba dvd recorder is what I need.

'Unfortunately' ...I had to return the toshiba dkr40 dvd recorder for a refund, because of problems connecting it to my tv set... I now have a Magnavox HDD DVD-DVR it is the Best! ... ,but if you go to Toshiba website and email them your question, I hope they can answer it ?...LOL...

Think the only difference is being able to plug into a USB port and being able to record DIVX trailer to DVD. Neither of which I'd ever use

Sorry, don't really know. I have a JVC recorder to change tapes to dvd and I used two of them and does not work.

Already answered...but add my two cents. It works 'almost' like a VCR. Will only do one thing at a time. The biggest difference is it will still record when in pause mode and assigns a 'name', albeit confusing to each recording. The USB port is very sensitive...doesn't fit tightly. It will often get 'no USB device found'. The plus is both outputs work together AVI and HDMI.

I've owned the 660 for over a year now, and I absolutely love it. It will record digital tv channels to either the DVD or the VCR. If you record to the vcr, it records in standard definition. The unit will also up convert anything recorded on the dvd to up to 1080p. To watch another show at the same time, you can split the incoming single and send one to the dvd/vcr and one to the tv. The manual is a little intimidating, but the channel programming and recorder programming, I found to be very intuitive.

I had a Sony DVD Recorder to VHS model RDR-VX535 which would record on Verbatim DVD-R 16X or DVD-R 8X speed. I managed to transfer only 5 home movie tapes to Verbatim DVD-R 16X or 8X speeds. Then the machine wouldn't work anymore. The Sony technician told me I needed to get more 8X discs, which was not true. 16X worked fine. The quality of the machines is not dependable. I sent it back to be restored to factory condition, got it back and it had the same problem with which I started. Fortunately, Costco gave me my money back. Memorex discs didn't work. S. M. Cox So maybe try Verbatim discs. Good luck.

I'm sorry I'm not a techie. What I do see it says here on the cd/dvd "slide-out door" is that it is compact disc rewriteable and DVD multi-recorder. Also says lightScribe on it. I purchased it 1.5yrs ago used through amazon.com and it is still running like a champ. I highly recommend this model. Hope my info was of use to you. Happy Shopping!

The issue is the software Operating system is limited to 2 Gigs per recording session. If you are recording a long video such as a child's play then that's a problem. if stop recording and start another recording session you will be able to fill your card with video. I've rarely recorded continuously for 8 minutes so it's not a problem for me. Also if you reduce the resolution to something less than HD such as VGA you will quadruple your recording minute. Remember if you record a VGA you still have better resloution than DVD.

The Magnavox MWD2206 is a DVD player but a VCR, that is, a VHS recorder. It will record on tape but not record on a DVD, it only plays DVD. Also remember this unit does not have a digital tuner so no recording free TV from your antenna. No one makes these DVD/VCR combos anymore so you have to buy either used or refurbished. Either way you have to get lucky to get one that works without any problems. I have had my best luck with the TOSHIBA units. The TOSHIBA DVR660 or DVR670 both record on DVD and have digital tuners to record free TV off your antenna.

I prefer to use DVD-RW media...it also works. But as the previous poster said you have to finalize the DVD in the recorder. After that you can use any DVD player.
