Moreover, it is difficult to figure out how to be able to re-record discs on a RW DVD from the enclosed Toshiba instructions. Also somewhat disappointed there was no HTML cable included with DVD - definitely worth purchasing one separately as the pictur..." Read Full Review »

"The manual says "You can playback the DVD during the VCR timer recording, and you can playback the VCR during the DVD timer recording." This is a lie. When my children are watching a DVD, and the VCR side begins to record a program on the timer recording schedule, the DVD stops playing, and I can't start it again. I press play and a box appears onscreen saying "Cancel timer rec after this operation." When th..." Read Full Review »
