Toshiba DVR660 DVD Recorder / VCR Combo

Cheers for Toshiba, they've done it again - made a great machine that's easy to operate, does what it's supposed to do, and isn't temperamental, like some others are. We went through two Sonys, two Panasonics, and one JVC before FINALLY finding a DVD/VCR combo that WORKS without problems. The Sonys are too complicated and run too hot, and eventually develop a hum or squeal and degradation of picture quality. The Panasonics, well, they just don't do anything. They will, maybe, read a pre-recorded disc on the 3rd try. Maybe on the 5th try. Maybe never. Record your own, and they won't finalize. If they do finalize, but they're on a DVD+R, (which is supposed to be acceptable media for the machine) it'll say there's nothing recorded. We lost an entire Twilight Zone collection because of the Panasonics. And customer service? Forget it. There isn't any.

This thing works perfectly. Reads every time. Records. Dubs both ways. Finalizes. No hassles, no temperament, no overheating, excellent picture quality. We're back to Toshiba, and we're staying with Toshiba. Absolutely worthy of a 5-star rating.
