Have both VCR and DVD recording and playback options without the clutter. The versatile DVR620 takes the fuss out of saving your videotapes to DVD and enhances DVD picture quality to near HD with 1080p upconversion via HDMI™.
Talk about convenience. The DVR620 is a DVD-VCR combo player with 1080p capability. Multi-format recording and playback provides the utmost in recording media convenience with compatibility with the most popular formats (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW). One Touch Recording makes recording your favorite show simple. Just connect the DVR620 to your cable or satellite box and you are set to record with the push of one button. A front DV input makes it easy to save your precious memories to DVD. Auto Finalize with Undo simplifies the recording process by automatically finalizing your recording for playback on standard DVD players.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video connection. HDMI provides the best interface between a DVD player and compatible products, such as a digital television (DTV). When matched with a compatible TV, this single interconnecting cable combines: multi-channel audio, uncompressed digital video, intercommunication between devices and simple control Protocols. This single cable connection ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form and secure by use of High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) regardless of signal output resolution.
HDMI can support uncompressed digital video up to HDTV level resolution. Thus, the DVR610 makes use of this conduit by up-converting the standard DVD picture resolution to nearly HDTV-quality with output resolutions of 720p, 1080i, or 1080p. This makes a DVD player with an HDMI connection the perfect match for today's digital televisions. As this conversion is performed in the player, the signal remains free from excessive digital-to-analog conversion artifacts.
As if high quality DVD recording weren't enough, the DVR610 also incorporates a hi-fi VHS stereo VCR. One great feature we'll bet you'll get some use out of is bi-directional dubbing, which is basically a convenient way to transfer content from a VHS tape to DVD or DVD content to VHS. Dubbing from VHS to DVD provides the capability of either transferring the entire tape, or transferring multiple individual segments by programming the time codes through the use of an on-screen menu.
As you can see, the DVR610 has a lot of recording capabilities. Its playback features are nothing to turn your nose up at, either. It plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can also play recordable compact discs (CD-R and CD-RW) with music stored in MP3, DivX, and WMA file formats. There's even a JPEG image viewer. And of course you can always throw in a VHS tape just for old time's sake. Once you're watching, you can take advantage of the DVD player's fast scan or slow motion to get to where you want to be quickly and easily.

I bought this Toshiba unit in order to be able to copy our piles of VHS tapes to DVD. My wife is a choreographer and has many many performances on tape. No only are these tapes starting to degrade but the VHS format is just not cutting it in our lives any more. Enter the VHS-DVD recorder! ]This unit requires that you pay attention to the instructions and follow them... but once you decide to do your job it does its job as advertised... what else is there to say.

This combo with progressive scan possesses most of the features of higher priced models, and is easily operated and understood. It is very well worth its asking price.
There are only two flaws in its constellation of features.
One, if one sets it to record in advance and one utilizes the auxiliary output into the television set, one then cannot view programming while it is thus set, until of course it turns itself on to the designated time. One can view programming and record at the same time, however.
Secondly, when editing discs or video titles, there is not the ability to store certain titles of favorite programs, so that one does not need to write those titles repeatedly.
Otherwise, the constellation of features for so low a priced combo player is truly extraordinary!

Well the one thing the description doesnt say is there is no place to hook up your cable or satilite cables - so if youre planning on this as your soul link to the tv - not going to work.
Once you figure out the unit and muddle your way through the first or second dubbing, its pretty easy. The manual is horrible. I luckily had some knowledge of what finalizing is and once I figured out how to do that all was well.
But good unit once you figure out stuff. Pretty easy after install and testing. Great quality disks coming out of it. No copyguarded movies can be taped, but for this price, I wasnt expecting miracles. -

After hooking up this Toshiba DVDVCR recorder to my Scientific Atlanta cable box via the s-video input, I was not able record anything on either DVD or VHS. After reading the user manual from cover to cover several times, I found a single reference to potential recording limitations via the s-video input, but its actual meaning was ambiguous at best. Other than its HDMI output for both DVD and VHS via a single cable, the main reason I decided on this unit was because I needed one that had an s-video input. What good is an s-video input on a DVDVHS recorder if you cant use it to actually record anything? Shift to Vanns customer service.. I couldnt get through to Toshibas customer support, so I called Vanns and explained my problem. Literally within minutes I received an e-mail message with all of the details necessary to return the unit, AND a link to print a UPS return label. I repackaged the unit and dropped it off at a nearby UPS Store... about a week later, I received an e-mail notification that full refund had been credited to my account. Im not sure if the unit was defective or if the s-video input is just useless for recording... either way, I couldnt be more pleased with Vanns!!!!

The instruction manual is complicated and not very user friendly.
It took me and my daughter about two weeks to figure out how to record on a VCR tape. I havent even tried recording on a DVD yet. It seems there are too many steps to go through. I am not the most technical person, but I think the manual should be easier to understand. There seems to be too many variables.

Records great on DVDs, no problems. Up converts regular DVDs to 1080p resolution, makes them look pretty good. When playing .avi movies, it has very limited fast forwarding capability. When you put a DVD in, it takes about a minute or so to read it, so it isnt very fast. At one time this would have cost about $100, but they have been selling more and more, so the prices have increased.

I have been looking for a while for the right DVD recorder . Here you have quality without breaking the bank. The bonus of one touch recording of old vhs tapes onto DVD was great. This unit has exhibited very good recording on LP settings and it has the flexibity of using DVD- and rewritable media. The unit has been easy to set-up and use. The only minor wish list item for the unit would be to have an easier way to manage timed recording so that hour-long shows or two hour movies could be more easily programed, ie.one touch affairs. While the audio is surprisingly good, I would like to have seen a more traditional 5.1 audio outputs. Still a strong performance by Toshiba for the price and it deserves a recommendation. After using this one for a few weeks, I bought one for my brother.

I ordered this unit on Friday night and received it at my door the following Thursday. Im a long way form Montana and the shipping was free.
I like the fact that there was no tax.
This product is awsome. It features one touch recording of live programming and vhs-dvd recording. I have been transferring vhs tapes of my children at sporting events when they were in high school. This is so easy, and the video quality is great. The D-VR620 also has upconversion capability for HD. I dont have an HD, but my next tv probably will be.
Ive had more expensive units that were also more complicated to operate. Other units I looked at had only a ninety day warranty and no extended warranty was offered. This unit has a one year warranty and offers the option of an extended warranty for up to five years. This is an excellent value. You cant go wrong.
