Toshiba D-VR4 DVD Recorder/VCR Dual Deck

Product Description

This video recorder gives you the best of both worlds - analog VHS videocassette recording and digital DVD recording. Both can record TV shows at pre-programmed times from a built-in 125 channel TV tuner. The DVD recorder (which records on DVD-RAM, and DVD-R /RW discs), will also record tapes played on the VHS player. It's a great way to make a smooth transition from VCR to DVD, for home recording purposes. Multi-Drive Playback and Recording from VCR to DVD, from DVD to VCR (does not record copy-protected material) ColorStream Pro® Component Video Outputs - These outputs allow the highest quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped progressive scan TV.When this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity. Chase Play allows the user to begin watching a recording that is already in progress from the beginning while it continues to record to the end. Front Panel A/V & S-Video Inputs - There are composite audio & video inputs, as well as S-Video input on the front panel of the unit for easy camcorder dubbing 3-D Virtual Surround Sound 24-Bit/96kHz Audio Digital/Analog Converter DOLBY Digital and DTS Compatible Output VHS Hi-Fi Stereo sound VCR Records at SP and EP / Plays SP, LP and EP VCR Plus+ Timer Recording Auto Channel Setup Channel Lock Universal Remote with TV Controls Unit Dimensions - 17 x 3 3/16 x 12 9/16 (WxHxD) / Weighs 12 pounds

Amazon.com Product Description

Delivering true multi-media versatility at a remarkably affordable price, Toshiba's D-VR4 combination DVD recorder and VCR opens a world of video recording and archiving options while saving valuable shelf space. It's a 4-head, hi-fi stereo VCR and a full-featured, progressive-scan DVD player that handles your DVDs, CDs, MP3 music discs, and JPEG-filled digital-photo discs, all wrapped into a component that stands just 3 inches tall. The recorder can store up to 12 hours of audio/video--whether broadcast programming or copies of your home movies to share with loved ones--on a 4.7 GB double-sided DVD-RAM disc and 6 hours on a write-once DVD-R or recordable DVD-RW.

The D-VR4's disc recorder offers the flexibility of recording on both DVD-RAM--perfect for instant chapter access and for multiple rerecordings--as well as DVD-R, the most widely compatible of the many DVD formats (great for sharing camcorder footage with loved ones). DVD-RW compatibility lets you erase and rewrite, though relatively few players and computer drives will play back DVD-RWs. DVD-RAM discs can be read, written, and erased more than 100,000 times.

Time Slip lets you use the device like a digital video recorder, or DVR. Because of DVD-RAM's speedy transfer rate, you can view the recorded portion of an ongoing program from the beginning, while still recording the show in progress.

In addition to recording new video content, the D-VR4 lets you transfer and even enhance your favorite video recordings to durable, space-saving discs--a terrific way to archive, preserve, and access your movies and family videos.

For top-of-the-line playback quality, the D-VR4 is equipped with a 10-bit/54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter capable of great color purity and detail. When connected to a high-definition or HD-ready television through its ColorStream Pro component-video outputs, the D-VR4 delivers a progressive-scan DVD picture. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The D-VR4 also features Toshiba's Digital Cinema Progressive (3:2 pulldown reversal) for DVD playback. DVD mastering commonly introduces a distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown reversal digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

The deck's abundant connections include 2 composite-video and 1 S-video input, 2 sets of stereo analog (left/right) RCA inputs (with a choice, for DVD recording, of uncompressed, linear PCM or, to conserve disc space, Dolby Digital 2.0 audio encoding). The DVD and VCR sections share a single composite-video output and stereo analog audio output (saving input space on your TV or audio receiver), while the DVD player also offers the component-video outputs mentioned above, an S-video output, and a pair of digital-audio outputs (1 coaxial, 1 optical) for channeling Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel surround signals to a compatible digital surround receiver.

What's in the Box
DVD recorder/VCR combo, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, RF coaxial video cable.

4 out of 5 stars GOOD MACHINE WITH SOME SHORTCOMMINGS.......2007-07-28

Well, I had this machine for about a year now. Never ever had any technical problems with it. The only problem I had was my own mistake in disc selection. This machine excepts ONLY DVD-R/RW and DVD-RAM. DO NOT TRY any dics with a + symbol, it won't work. Propriatory choices I suppose. In case of DVD-RAM I have nothing but the best to say. Yes they do cost a bit more money but they are good for 100,000 times re-recording.
Dubbing works fine, DVD recording quality is as good as your signal. It never failed to play a commercially recorded disc, and I make a lot of discs on my computer and everyone works like a hod damn LOL.
I guess like any new technology it takes a bit of practise and getting used to to make something work. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the limitation in disc choice. There are ones out there excepting any format DVD and lets face it, computers have been excepting it for ages now, and DVD/RW is now dirt cheap. I hope this will help some folks out there decidng on the machine. The situation is way better with this one now, lot's of bargain prices out there.

1 out of 5 stars Toshiba D-VR-4 DVD Recorder/VCR dual deck.......2007-03-03

At first this product was okay. I managed to get past the "wrong DVD" or "No Disk" displays. Now the VCR is not working. Had I read the reviews from Amazon first, I would have not bought this product. I did not get it from Amazon. It is a waste of my money, and I am sorry that I kept it!!!!!

1 out of 5 stars I'd give it 0 stars if I could. BIG waste of time and money........2007-02-20

I'd love to figure out how this thing works, but after months of frustration, I'm ready to trash it. I'm not even sure it's worth sending for repair. It doesn't like any DVD that I use, and I can't get the timer to work, not even for VHS. The OTR button works fine, which isn't helpful if I want to record something while I'm out. I've read the manual over and over, but to no avail. The remote has so many buttons on it, it's takes a while to figure out which button you're supposed to press; NOT user friendly. I'll never buy another Toshiba product again. I wish I would have returned the unit so that I could get my money back, but I was determined to make this work. I now see that it's impossible. (BTW, I didn't purchase this through Amazon, and it's too late to return it now. The Manufacturer's Warranty isn't worth the trouble, because I no longer want to own this unit!)

1 out of 5 stars Dead.......2007-01-06

Got it today! Looks great! Plugged it in won't even light up! Now I have to pay the shipping back and wait!!!!!!!! What a bummer!!!!!!!!!!

2 out of 5 stars Look for something else.......2006-09-01

I can't suggest what else to try, but this one probably won't make you happy. I bought this and never really figured out how to make it work. I constantly got disc error messages and spent quite a bit of money on different DVD discs. I think I did record a couple shows/movies, but never got around to watch them. The DVD drawer quit working after approximately 30-40 openings/closings (a couple months). I returned the unit ($15 or so for shipping....my dime). I just got a call that they have to replace the unit (newer d-vr5 model). It's been out of my hands for over a month now and it will take another 2-3 weeks to get a replacement.

I must say I am very happy with the customer service, however it's taken quite a bit longer in the "shop" than I was told. At least they were apologetic about it and the men I've spoken to about getting it returned have both very nice and knowledgeable. I think it's just the service department that is being slow.

I hope the d-vr5 is an upgrade in some way (ease of use, reliabliity, something!)

        • Smooth, natural reproduction of skin tones New color coupler technology delivers exceptionally well-nuanced skin tones and ensures that all hues are consistent from highlight to shadow, regardless of density. Pro 160S offers a gentler tonal curve
        • Unsurpassed gray balance. Gray tones are reproduced with unparalleled neutrality and accuracy, even withina wide range of exposures
        • Significantly finer grain structure. The new film boast even finer grain than their predecessors, with an RMS granularity of 3 (vs. 4 for the current NPS 160 and NPC 160). The result is notably smoother, richer-looking prints, especially at larger sizes.
        • Single-channel printing. All four films in the new Fujicolor Pro line, despite their differences in speedand contrast, can now be printed in a single print channel
        • Optimized for digital scanning and printing. By combining excellent tonal qualities in a wide exposure range (-1 to +3 EV) and exceptionally fine grain, the scanning characteristics of Pro 160S and Pro 160C in digital printing systems, such as Fujifilm's Frontier digital lab system, dramatically improve.
