Amazon.com Product Description
DVD players are preferred over VCRs because of their ease of use and their quick access to content without fast-forwarding or rewinding. Still, many who have left VHS behind miss the ability to record their favorite content. With the Toshiba D-R5, you get all of the recording versatility of a high-end VCR and the convenience of a progressive-scan DVD player. It even delivers some of the best functions of a DVR.
Multi-Drive Playback and Recording
The D-R5 is designed to record and play back video using DVD-RAM, DVD-R, or DVD-RW recordable discs formats. The DVD-RAM disc, due to its flexibility when recording, offers the best value when using the time-shifting functions of this recorder, such as timer record, chase play and instant replay. DVD-R is a disc type to which content can only be written once, but it is also the most widely accepted format by other players, so it's ideal for recording and sharing home movies. The DVD-RW format generally fits between them in that it's more widely accepted by players than DVD-RAM though not as easily rewritten.
The D-R5 provides a range of recording options. It lists five recording modes with trade-offs between time capacity and video quality. It has an auto title/chapter/thumbnail creation feature, but you can create your own titles with the help of an on-screen keyboard. Front panel composite and S-video input ports make it easy to record straight from a variety of other video sources, such as a camcorder.
HDMI Compatible
High-Definition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an interface format that provides uncompressed digital audio and video directly to a digital television. It represents the current state of the art in high-definition video and sound because the information never has to be converted into an analog format. Another benefit of HDMI is that it puts all that information into one cable and one easy-to-use connector.
An added benefit of connecting the D-R5 to your television with HDMI is that the unit can "upscale" commercial DVDs, which are rendered at 480p resolution, to a digitally interpolated 720p resolution, which makes for a much sharper picture. Also, the unit's built-in MPEG decoder is able to display your JPEG files at higher resolution when connected HDMI display.
Lacking an HDMI connection, however, the D-R5 offers 10-bit digital-to-analog video conversion at 54 MHz and ColorStream Pro component video output for a clear image. This player is also DivX Home Theater Certified, which means it display popular Internet video formats that have been burned onto a CD, such as DivX, AVI, and MPEG4.
Audio
For home theater audio hookups, the unit provides optical Dolby Digital and dts surround sound output 24-bit analog conversion at 192kHz. The D-R5 also plays MP3 and WMA files recorded to compatible disc media.

dvd recorder.......2007-08-30
The product arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The Toshiba has proven easy to use and in playback produces a good picture. I am very pleased with the product.
Indescribably Lousy Design.......2007-05-30
With this D-R5 Toshiba did an outstanding job of improving the D-R4 from almost outstanding to completely stupid. Thankfully, this model has been discontinued already, it wasn't long on the market. It has been replaced by the R-400 which is an improvement but still sub-standard.
The Toshiba R400 is woefully short on features. No thumbnails, title editing is water drip torture, remote's labels are essentially useless (very small, about 1/16") and - now get this - a somewhat dark gray on black. Time Remaing display on timer setup screen is completely wrong except for the first event on a new blank disk. Can't see front inputs from above even with unit at shoulder height. Can't name a disk. No power backup (only 5 seconds). If you use the auto-finalize feature you can't do titles. Graphics and fonts much better than most (including the S15), very clear and pleasing. Panel display is very poor (a lower-case "a" looks like a reversed "6." Remote layout is at best fair, balance good. Do note that it does not have a tuner (if you need one, I don't). Overall it was a big disappointment, I took it back.
If you must try one, be sure to have an iron-clad no questions return policy.
Worth the price.......2007-05-10
Cons: slow in start up, shutting down. Pros: reliable, high quality recording and is the alternative to paying monthly charges to cable companies and Tivo. Overall, great product.
very nice recorder for the money.......2007-04-04
Sure you could do better but not at this price point. I got it a Jr's for $104 but they're sold out right now. however I saw it a couple other places on the net for about the same. The player is slow to load and will test your patience. however the redeming qualities (HDMI,UPSCALEING,RAM) outway the small issues. There is a wide price range on this player and if i paid much more I wouldn't have given it such a high rating.
Piece of Garbage.......2007-04-03
I'm very surprise as to how poorly this prodcut was made. Picture quality is horrible, especially when it's an upconvert player to 1080. When I switch the 480 to 1080, almost no difference. The response time is unreal, I can finish dinner before the tray opens. The recording feature is horrible, sometime it accepts disc, but most of the time it has the bad error. Waste of money

excellent choice ..........2002-09-29
I bought this dvd drive a couple of months ago ... . It was an advertised special ... . Took drive home and installed with no problems. This is a typical ide drive install with jumper settings and rail/or screw instsallation to hold in place. Software included is powerdvd a wonderful player. The only con to this drive is the spin up noise and the delay in ejecting media. Overall this is an excellent choice ... .
A Questionable product for an inflated price.......2002-07-12
Brand name Japeneese DVD-rom drives are running about $25
a great DVD rom for the price.......2002-04-15
This is the first cd-rom drive I have ever installed. It went in and was up and running with little or no problems. Just got done watching my first full-length film on it (Training Day) as a tester, and no glitches.
The Picture is clean and the sound is incredible. I plan on making this my dvd player for my home theater once I plug the s-video cable into my 31" tv. I am happily surprised that it works this well for what I paid for it.
The installation instructions can throw you a bit if you're not familiar with installing cd-rom drives (like I was). If this is a secondary drive, make sure you set the jumper on your original drive to "master", and the jumper on this dvd drive to "slave". I did it this way just because my original cd-rw drive came with my computer and just kept it the primary drive.
Other than that, it's a good all around DVD player. For the price..you can't go wrong. It's economical and will serve all your DVD-rom purposes.
A Good Buy.......2001-11-06
I have had the DVD drive for a couple of weeks now, and have had no problems. The installation guide is brief. The drive might be difficult to install if you are a computer novice, so have an IT friend "on call" if you plan to do it yourself (the reason for 4 not 5 stars). I have had no problems reading DVDs or CD-ROMs on the drive. I have an 850 MHz Athlon machine with a good graphics card but with no decoder card and have only experienced minimal delays when viewing DVDs. Overall a very good buy, I'd highly recommend it.

No antennae; Poor customer service.......2005-04-06
I ordered the Cisco Aironet 1231 the other day, and after it arrived, set it up, and...couldn't get a wireless signal. I called customer support and was told I would be called back by a technician (which obviously the first person was not) within an hour. We waited...and got online to try to figure things out. Turns out that in VERY small print on an obscure documentation page of the 1231 it says at the very bottom that two external antennae are needed for the 2.4 GH wireless (802.11b/g) to work. I was even more disappointed to find out that the required antennae were available online for only $16 a piece, which makes Cisco look really cheap for not including such a small but vital item with a $500 router.
Although it took an astonishing twelve hours for customer support to get back to me, since I registered my complaint with them they have been very helpful. I really hope that they improve their web site-it really is not that helpful since you have to weed through pages of documentation before you can even begin to find information you need. I still haven't used this router since I'm waiting for the required antennae I had to order somewhere else. Cisco routers are supposed to be good, but as a warning to you, the potential customer, be aware that 1) you need to purchase external antennae with this product; 2) my initial experience with customer service was pretty disappointing.
