Amazon.com Product Description

Get maximum enjoyment out of both your VHS and DVD movie libraries with the progressive scan Toshiba D-VR5 DVD player/recorder with integrated full-featured VCR. It records onto DVD-R/RW as well as DVD-RAM discs, and it's also compatible with playing CD-R/RW and VCD discs. You can play discs burned with MP3 and WMA digital audio files, and it's also DivX Home Theater Certified--meaning that it's compatible with video burned to disc using both the DivX video format. You can also view photo slideshows from Kodak Picture CDs with JPEG images. The D-VR5 makes it easy to connect to brilliant imagery with its component and HDMI connections--the latter offering pure digital audio/video performance with no degradation of signal.

The VCR features 19-micron heads that match precisely the width of the SP and EP azimuths and read only the signal recorded on each azimuth (not adjoining tracks). Other VCR features include 8-event/1-month programming and auto channel setup.

The DVD recorder allows you to record TV programming while your out of the house with a timer function, but it also offers easy one-touch recording. You get six compression modes for DVD recording from 1 hour to 6 hours of video onto one disc. Other recording features include automatic title/chapter/thumbnail creation, time base correction, and auto finalization. Playback features include fast forward with audio (1.5x speed), fast scan, and slow motion.

The D-VR5 performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

You get vivid, realistic sound, thanks to Toshiba's 24-bit/96 kHz pulse code modulation (PCM) audio processor. PCM audio translates digital signals from your DVDs and CDs into warmer, natural sound. The DVD player offers Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, and you can connect to a multi-channel home theater surround sound system via the coaxial digital audio output. It also produces 3D virtual surround sound from two speakers. It features the following video and audio connections:

Tech Talk
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media.

HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

DVD-RAM is the most flexible of the recordable DVD formats when it comes to recording, editing and playback. With a DVD-RAM disc, you'll be able re-record content approximately 100,000 times.

4 out of 5 stars Works good but a little slow.......2007-10-10

I like this so far. I have used it to record VHS to DVDs and it works good. My only complaint is that it is a little slow, and takes some practice to figure it all out. Of course it could be me. I did call tech support with some questions and they were very polite and helpful.

5 out of 5 stars Toshiba D-VR5 DVD Play/Record w/VCR.......2007-03-31

EXACTLY what I was NEEDED! This is no toy! There seems to be some negative
comments due to the Lag-Time between the time that you turn on the recorder,
and when it opens the tray: --- Patience, Grasshopper! --- this machine does so
much more!

IT'S A COMPUTER! Allow it to go through it's boot-up process, after which the
responses are just as fast as any other DVD Player It's a tool, you need to read
the manual throughly but once you understand the concept, it's very simple.
AT LAST! I can transfer my MASSIVE VHS Library! Unfortunately some had al-
ready begun to degrade. BACK & FORTH!!!! Far Out! VHS to DVD & Vice Versa!

Aside from the ability to handle the newest blank media (includ. RAM & DOUBLE
SIDED Disks) the best part is being able to record off my TV! It's every bit as easy
to record multiple 5 minute segments of a newsreel, or a 6 hour congressional
meeting at the touch of a button as it had been on my old VCR.

TV, VCR, Now DVD-R <--- All TOSHIBA! ;) I just keep coming back!

There was a mix-up in delivery of the wrong item but the vendor made it good and the product seems to work great.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent value.......2007-02-13

Performs well in converting VHS format tapes to DVDs. Quality of picture in very good.

4 out of 5 stars jitsu64.......2007-02-12

Tried both watching DVDs and transferring from VHS to DVD. Player worked extremely well in both instances. However, I must agree with earlier reviews that instruction manual could be clearer and more user-friendly. Hookup was easy for me because I just transferred cables from old one to new one but I would have hated for this to be my first one and have to rely on manual.

    1 out of 5 stars Smart-Disk Bad Decision.......2007-12-20

    I Purchased one of these drives for me and my wife. Hers broke a month after teh warranty of a year expired. I called them, they said it is a fatal error and it has happened to other people,because it was over a year they will not do anything about it.

    1 out of 5 stars Poor Quality.......2007-12-08

    Product has issues. Worked for one month with my Mac (OSx). Then one day after a reboot, it refused to show up on desktop. It began to beep. Disk utility recognized it, but did not offer options to verify, repair etc. Smartdisk tech support said it's a problem with power -- that the unit was no longer able to draw enough power from the mac throug the USB cable as it is supposed to -- they said they're aware that this was a common problem raised by many customers.
    As advised, I bought an AC unit ($36) -- the unit stopped beeping, but continues not to show up. If I send it in to Smartdisk for repair, I will lose all data. Upon research, I have seen many other similar complaints about this product. One customer tested the hard drive with another housing unit and was able to find all data -- proving his was a problem with the Smartdisk housing not the memory. But Smartdisk warranty will not preserve data in their repair.
    Chief Compliants: USB cable doesn't draw power as it should, and the thing refuses to show up on desktop. Buy something else more reliable.

    5 out of 5 stars Use Full Things.......2007-11-19

    These usb hard drives are the best piece of equipment you can have if you work with computers.

    1 out of 5 stars Small Wonder? .......2007-08-12

    I bought two of these to back up vital information and photos. To my surprise, they let me down. Not only did I have to purchase a 5v power adapter, but I ended up have to purchase data recovery software after only two months of use.

    If it's important and you have to back it up, chisel it in stone before you buy one of these not-so-portable drives.

    5 out of 5 stars Great product.......2007-03-21

    Reliable, fast and the backup software is easy to use. If you are a consultant and must use notebooks, it is a must have.
