 Nice Recorder Nov 16, 2008
Toshiba DR410 1080p Upconverting Tunerless DVD Recorder
I have been very pleased with this recorder. I record tv programs & get a pretty good picture using dvd-rw & dvd-r in EP mode. This recorder is easy to use & is very dependable. It can read most discs unless they are really messed up. I haven't had to use any discs for coasters as I did with my previous recorder. I highly recommend this recorder.
Super product !!!!!!!!!!!! Nov 07, 2008
Very happy with the picture quality. Huge difference compare to a regular dvd player. Just buy it!!
 Inexpensive Nov 03, 2008
I bought this two days ago to replace the Philips DVDR 75. (It won't take the new 16x DVD+R.)
Pro: Price, look sturdy (metal casing rather than plastics), easy to use, can upconvert.
Con: Only 90 days warranty (took off 1 star for it), the quality for XP is excellent (only one hour on a disc) and the quality for SP is pretty good. (2 hours) but anything below is horrible (just as cnet review says), the upconverting ability is marginal, the machine only creates title menu as a list with no picture snapshots (took off 1 star for it), coaxial output only.
Overall, it is a descent buy as the price is right and it is from a major manufacturer.

The DVD Recorder Arrived Broken Oct 22, 2008
The Toshiba DR410 recorder arrived broken. After setting it up, all I heard were gears grinding when I pressed the disk door open/close button. A big notice in the box said: STOP! CALL TOSHIBA, NOT YOUR RETAIL DEALER IF THE UNIT DOESN'T WORK!(I'm paraphrasing). So I called Toshiba. They said "Send it back to us at YOUR expense". I said that I received it broken...they basically said.... "tough!...you still pay shipping!"
I then planned on returning it to Amazon, who would have replaced the unit at absolutely no cost to me. But being an old mechanical engineer I decided to see if I could fix it. I could "hear" that the problem was mechanical so why not give it a try?
So I took the cover off, removed the disk playing mechanism (4 screws) and very gingerly unjammed the gears.(one must be very careful here. I don't recommend the procedure to the neophyte). I reassembled everything and it's been running fine ever since. All the electronic bells and whistles work but it does have a rather "cheap" feel to it.
As a DVD player and recorder it does everything expected of it. The 100 page manual explains EVERYTHING in great detail.
For $118.00 from Amazon, it's a satisfactory and fairly priced unit.

 Be Forewarned - Read Before Buying Oct 18, 2008
Be warned, you cannot use this dvd player/recorder if you have a cable connection but DO NOT have a cable BOX. Nowhere does the product tell you this in advance so - what a hassle. After trying for an hour to figure out how to hook this up, I called the Toshiba 800 number and he said that this is one of their most frequent calls. Sales people do not tell customer this in advance and the box does not warn you. The problem is this dvd machine does not have a 'tuner' in it, so, if no cable box, you cannot hook up to this machine, period. I had to return it, so did not get to use it, but give it 2 stars based on all the hassle I went through and, although the Toshiba tech guy was helpful, this should be explained on the box or in the online information! We are not all techies out here.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
