14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 10 Comments
Pros Cover for Front RCA Inputs, 12 Hour AM/PM Time, Plays JPEG, MP3, & WMA CD's.
Cons Only One Set of RCA Outputs, No Others I Can Think Of.
Recommended it? Yes

You may recognize how I referred to this DVD Recorder from Toshiba in the "Title" as I also own the D-R1 and have given a review on that one as well.

As a matter of fact, due to the fact that there are so many similarities between the D-R1 and the D-R2 please go here:... Read full review »

Pros A variety of video inputs
Cons No digital audio input/ 5.1 out No SACD/DVD-A compatibility Finicky DVD acceptance 16:9...
Recommended it? No

I bought this unit to replace my VCR and improve the quality of recordings over VCR and convert my VCR tapes to digital so they don't degrade any more than they already have. The recorder works ok, but is finicky about the DVD used for recording. You should be aware it will record to inexpensive... Read full review »

Could be a hit or miss product?

Pros Loaded with features
Cons Slow, long chapter pauses, poor warranty, cumbersome timeslip.
Recommended it? No

This DVD recorder has several attractive features: DVD-RAM with "timeslip" gives you a TIVO(R)-type recording/playback capability for TV shows, rapid recording of camcorder videos to DVDs, and can be used to transfer outdated VHS tapes to DVD.

Unfortunately, we were more than a bit peeved... Read full review »

Pros Very good quality records to 4 hrs. Wide variety of media. Built-in TV tuner
Cons Tricky involved instructions. Very sensitive lens. Disc loads slow.
Recommended it? No

I received this recorder as a gift about 6 months ago. With it's built-in TV tuner it is capable of direct off the air recording of antenna or cable channels. It also has enough direct inputs for satellite boxes, Video cameras and VCR's. It can record on just about all media combinations including... Read full review »

Pros Good quality, All good features, good price.
Cons Extremely difficult to use.
Recommended it? No

This machine has everything you need and the price was right.However you need to be an electronics Geek to operate this thing. The operator's manual is about 150 pages long and I found it very confusing. I have had the D-R2 about two months and still can't get the programmed recorder to work.

Pros Price, value, looks, functionality, tons of settings, not one bad burn yet, great manual.

This is the first recorder I have used. After looking through many reviews online, I decided on this Toshiba as it seemed to have more features for a lower price.

I started backing up all of my VHS tapes to DVD-R. Man, this thing is awesome! The VHS actually comes out better on the... Read full review »

Pros Lot's of features - if it worked.
Cons Long start up time. No DVD+ support.
Recommended it? No

I must have gotten a defective unit. After a week or 2 the unit wouldn't play back any of my recorded DVD-R's, even the ones that it recorded itself. The display on the TV just says 'loading' for a looooong time, during which time it's incommunicable. Then finally it displays that the disk is... Read full review »

Pros Tons of Features, Option to Choose a Thumbnail
Cons Complexity, Remote has to be pointed directly at unit.
Recommended it? Yes

I have being using the Toshiba D-R2 DVD Recorder for about 4 months and I am very pleased with all features of the unit. First of all I should start by saying that this Recorder is not for the feint of heart - if you like to put a disc in and hit record choose another unit. However, once you have... Read full review »
