Relatively Expensive Piece of Junk!.......2007-10-24
I tried to give this thing no stars, but had to give it one in order to write a review.
I bought this on Amazon about 6 months ago. In spite of the backwards messages and displays (described later) and unbelievably tiny red Timed Recording indicator light, it worked fine for the first 3 months. Then one night, while it time-recorded from 9-10PM onto video, it didn't stop recording until it ran out of tape! I didn't know it had done that (duh!), so when I returned home from work the next evening, the daytime recording onto DVD never happened. Seems that, if you schedule timed recordings onto both DVD and VCR, if there is no tape left, no recording occurs at all.
Then the error message that was on the screen that must've occurred when it "couldn't" record onto DVD that day wouldn't go away. As a last resort, I unplugged the thing for over 3 hours - It finally went away. Of course, all of the timed recording and system settings were gone and had to be re-input. Unplugging it for 3 or more hours is now the only way to get rid of ANY error message.
Now it never stops recording onto tape no matter what the scheduled stop time is. I've resorted to only time-recording onto DVD...what a waste of money for a dual unit, eh?
Oh, yes, the indicators and backwards messages. The VCR is on the left and DVR on the right of the unit; but when ejecting, the eject indicator on the screen is on the right when ejecting a tape and the left when ejecting a DVD (that engineer must've been on drugs). The messages are also backwards: If what you actually need to do next is press the time recording button to turn it on, the message tells you to turn it off, and vice versa...perhaps same engineer on the same drugs?
I haven't yet tried copying my video tapes onto DVD...from the other reviews here, I anticipate another "fun" experience. I strongly suggest buying a unit like this that is manufactured by ANYONE other than Toshiba.
Works well, but channels are limited.......2007-05-31
I followed the manual for the setup and everything works well. Those having problems watching a DVD need to make sure they don't skip the "Finalization" so that you can watch it on other DVD players. The only problem I've encountered so far is that it is limited to 123 channels and only goes up to 123 (so channel 252 is out), which would not be a problem if I could get it to play the channels I manually tried to program (numbered UNDER 123, of course). It won't let me add or delete some channels, and after I've added them, I only get the "blue screen" and no broadcast. I have everything hooked up correctly, so I don't know what's going on with that except I won't be able to record TV programs as I wanted to. I do have some really good VHS tapes I will use it to transfer to DVD so all is not lost. I know. Good luck to me.
Glad they don't make this anymore.......2007-03-31
This thing is terrible. I don't know where to begin! Anything I burn (if it burns) doesn't play on anything else. The picture quality sucks. Any good features are non-existant. I actually got sunburned from the bright display. It was WAY overpriced. And to top it off, it crapped out on me 14 days after the warranty expired. Thanks Toshiba for a wonderful product.
My own experience.......2006-07-10
In looking at the other reviews, I felt I needed to base one on my own experience after having the DVD recorder/combo for over 3 months.
I have had it freeze up and need to be unplugged twice, usually after I have left the unit turned on for 2-3 weeks without shutting it off.
I will agree the VCR/DVD light is bright, but it is easy to tell which you are set to. The light for the clock is very dim when the set is turned off.
As for performance, I'm enjoying the DVD burner. It works well, and I have very few issues. (See above). I would recommend reading the manual first though. While not entirely necessary its a good idea when you are trying to record movies that run just over 2 hours (due to the DVD media and picking the type of record XP, SP, LP, SLP).
For playback, the movies I burn come in a little dark on my HDTV, while normal DVD's work fine. If I play the burned discs on a computer or other DVD/TV set they look fine.
Overall I think the product is a good buy for a mid-range price.
Good on paper, poor on execution.......2006-04-13
This is a sad machine. I have now tried to copy 5 VHS tapes to DVD's using this machine. Of the 5:
1. Three of them copied fine, but are UNPLAYABLE on any player except THIS ONE. I have tried 2 new computers, and two very recent component DVD players. Also tried different brands of DVD-R's. No luck.
2 The other two totally froze the unit. During the "finalization process". "Processing Please Wait" remained on the screen for over two hours. Had to pull the plug on it to shut it off. Not one button worked.
This machine was designed by an idiot. The upwards tilting MIRROR finish across the front panel reflects any sunlight or room lighting right into your face and BLINDS YOU!
The VCR and DVD indicator lights are blinding bright enough to guide a plane onto an airport runway on a dark foggy night.
On the other hand, the clock digits are so DIM, they are nearly invisible while the machine is off.
I believe this model is not available in many places anymore. Too bad I got in at the end of it's life. I think I still have a few days left to return it to Sears. They don't seem to have any more either.I will gladly pay whatever restocking fee they charge me, to put ME out of my misery.
What a complete, frustrating waste of time this was.

Terrific duplicator for home/small business.......2006-08-29
OK, I duplicate more than the average number of DVD's in a year at home - legally, I should add. Vacation photos, home movies, business records, and so on. For example - when we get home from vacation I upload all the media to iPhoto. I can produce the DVD with iDVD, overlaying a soundtrack with some music and comments on the photos. I'll generate a couple of dozen for my folks, sibs and friends, that will be popped into the mail, and then I'll stash some away for the future, when I or my kids are in a sentimental mood. Come the holidays, I'll send a home movie with greetings in the Christmas cards. I keep my home office records on DVD, too, as well as incremental backups of the HD, so I duplicate a backup copy of them, just to maintain a low paranoia titre. It adds up - maybe 30 or so a month. 'Till recently, the DVD recorder internal to my computer was working way overtime, so after some thought I convinced my wife to let me invest in a Primera Pro Publisher. All I can say is, Wow!
The device itself is a little bigger than a desktop inkjet printer. Installation is easy: remove the packing material, install the printer cartriges, connect the cable to your computer and run the installation software (both Mac and PC are supported) - that's it. Load the blanks on the right, and boot Discribe, the included software, You can burn data or media discs, CD's and DVD's, from images or hardcopy. The onboard printer will add a professional-looking face to it. (I suggest the OEM software Disclabel to design disc and case covers.) Tell the robot how many copies to make and offit goes. The software is mostly bulletproof, but occasionally, I've found it stallsa and burps at me, mostly from my own ignorance. After a couple of runs, it is pretty straightforward. I can run off about 10 discs in an hour, using both drives.
The Primera Pro is really good at what it does. Discs are checked for errors, and it supports most media types, includeing DVD+, DVD- and DL discs. I expect that Primera will support blueray and HD when the drives become more available. I haven't had any trouble with rejected media, nor with DVD players fussing about the quality of the recording. After a couple of months using it, I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I can't tell you about service, because I haven't had any problems, but there is an optional 1-year replacement plan that costs about $250, that seems like a reasonable investment. Construction is good, so I don't recommend the ruggedized model, but definately consider the Pro over the one-drive models - the robot is smart enough to use both drives so big jobs are done in half (or less) the time.
I haven't any real criticisms, but I would like Primera to divulge a replacement cassette for the printer - it looks suspiciously like an HP cartridge, but I don't know for sure. I really would like to refil the cartridges myself.
For the small video/picture production house, the Primera is ideal. A photographer can shoot a wedding, upload the pictures edit them, and produce a professional-looking VCD or DVD that can be put in the couples hand before they go on their honeymoon.
I anticipate the disc will be with us for anouther five or ten years before it is replaced by another technology (presumably with no moving parts). Until that happens, The DVD will be with us, and I strongly recommend the Primeara Pro to the user who is involved in DVD production or duplication.

Product Description
Sigma Corporation is proud to announce the availability of the latest generation of compact standard zoom lenses, the 28-105mm f3.8-5.6 UC III. This new lens builds upon its predecessors (models UC and UC II), offering the same focal length range (28mm to 105mm), and focusing range (19.7 inches to infinity, at all zoom settings) and providing a slightly larger effective aperture (f/3.8-5.6), while reducing the weight to less than 10 oz. A new lens design, including the use of aspherical optics and new mechanical construction, are credited with the reduction in weight, while maintaining the high level of performance for which these lenses are known. This model retains the internal focusing system and a non-rotating front barrel for convenient filter use.
