About Toshiba DR570 DVD Recorder/Player - Black (2009 Model)
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
90% found playback features helpful
I can chase playback and time-slip on the machine, and watch one program on a VR formatted disc while recording another.
The DVD player plays Divx/Xvid files, but a front USB input would have been better.
The sound quality is excellent when fed through a home stereo system. The unit can play CDs with superior sound quality to MP3s. Rewritable DVDs can be used for time-shifting and single-use DVDs can be used for archiving. It's convenient to view recorded programs in other locations as the DVDs can be played anywhere.
This DVD recorder has a finalization step that makes the disc playable on most players and an auto finalization setting to avoid manual finalization.
81% were satisfied with playback formats support
I can chase playback and time-slip on the machine if the disc is formatted in VR format. It also allows me to watch one program on a VR formatted disc while recording another.
92% praised remote control functionality, despite 8% faced challenges
I found the remote control functionality to be very poor and had to mark the button I use most with permanent markers.
I found the setup confusing as various functions were dependent on knowing when to use different buttons on the remote, including Input Select, DTV/TV, Setup, Top Menu, Menulist, and even the channel up/down buttons.
89% were impressed with size and design, while 11% weren't
The dvd player feels and looks cheap. The buttons are small and all the same color with hard to read labels.
