The D-VR660 offers DVD and VCR playback as well as 1080p upconversion to near HD quality via HDMI. Bi-directional dubbing takes the fuss out of recording your VHS tapes to DVD, and the built-in tuner completes the package by allowing you to tune both digital and analog channels. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Some good, some bad My first Toshiba DV/R 660 had problems. The memory was faulty and the unit had to be replaced. Amazon.com gets an A for good customer service and fast response. The second unit has performed very well and has not given me any trouble.

It is extremely annoying to tape using the VCR function and to watch the VCR tapes. After taping it takes 5 or 6 steps to watch the VCR tape after it is completed.

Rating: - Timer Recording Unreliable We purchased the Toshiba D-VR660 5 days ago and it has failed to timer record on 3 occasions. We have followed all of the programming instructions including the "timer set" feature which we are familiar with from our old Pioneer DVD recorder. On the occasions when the timer recording failed, the recorder's channel was still set at the previously recorded channel. We are not sure if the tuner failed to change the channel or if the machine shut itself off before the next timer recording began. We ... Read More Rating: - Toshiba DVD/Recorder So far this has been a great product. Set-up is easy and I have not had any problems putting old VHS recordings onto DVD. I think this is a great product. Rating: - For copying video tapes not for the family room If you read the specifications for this machine it appears to be a dream and it does appear to have all the features specified and some very cool features not well documented. One would expect the latest and greatest to be the most forward looking, with this expectation I was surprised at what I have come to expect as standard features to be missing or retro. * Even though DVD+RW is the superior technology, all the "better" recording features are only supported by DVD-RW! For example, 16:9 aspect ... Read More
