The DVD/VCR shows good picture and it records well. It has a HDMI connection and an up converter. the only thing missing was the remote but my old dvd had one that works on this machine.

Piece of junk-known problem of not playing DVD's

Tried two of these, neither worked correctly. One the putting in a vcr tape caused machine to shut off and also eat the tape hen you tried to eject it. The other one, when I put in a store bought dvd, a message showed up that said this dvd may not be suitable for playback. What? It's a factory recorded dvd! Tried to record on dvd +r, -r, and +rw.
If it even loaded, which was about 10% of the attempts, it would not record on any of them. Also any previously recorded dvd's I made from tv programs would not play.
Again would Bly load about 10% of the time. This I found out is a known defect with this model and at least with one other model. JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, STAY AWAY from this one!Read full review...

Good buy, but at $137 not cheap for used recorder without remote.

This is a used DVD/VCR Recorder with Tuner, remote not included. It is identical to my previous recorder, which developed a habit of ejecting the tape after 15 seconds of either recording or play, so I already had the remote. The tuner on the new one is not as powerful as my old Toshiba DVR670 and receives fewer PBS channels than my other Magnavox recorder, but so far it is working perfectly. I got what I paid for, and what I expected, but was surprised to see that it had shipped from India.Read full review...

Reliable, good unit. I do wish it had a program guide & buttons to operate

The things I like: I don't have cable service. I use an antenna. This unit has a digital tuner. I have 2 of these units. Overall, I'm very pleased with them. They have a wonderful picture quality, are easy to use to record programs, play backs on DVD or VHS are very good. I haven't tried dubbing.

The things I don't like about this unit: No buttons on the front of the unit to operate it. You have to use the remote. The tuner does a nice job of receiving channels. But, it doesn't have a program guide.Read full review...

Good unit if you want to record on VHS and DVD.

The unit works fine but the manual is overly complicated and dense. It is definitely not vey user friendly. Mind you, this is coming from somebody who is very comfortable with audio-visual gadgets. I have 3 VCR's, 2 DVD/VCR recorders ( the other one is an LG) and 1 DVD player all connected to a KENWOOD amplifier and a PANASONIC 54" Plasma TV, all of which I connected myself, so I know what I'm doing. Nevertheless, I had to read the manual to get it working. It is not intuitive, but the picture quality is very good. This unit has a dig. tuner that will work with the VCR. If you want to continue recording tapes off the air, this is a good choice. Price is very variable, so shop around!Read full review...

Nice product, but . . . . .

The DVR670 is a good product. The only complaint I have about it is the user is unable to assign titles to timed recordings until AFTER they're recorded. As a result, if you have say a dozen programs timed to record each week, you don't know which program is which by looking at the Title Menu and there's not much sense in labeling the program after it's recorded - unless you wish to watch it at a much later date. The only other issue is that deleting a recorded program on DVD is rather slow.Read full review...

good product with good reception

Good product. Good reception for over air digital transmissions. Works well in all dvd recording modes. Must have proper remote to set up and use unit

Good sound, viewing and ease of use.

Though an older model, it replaced a DVD player that died, and has a good viewing quality, perhaps helped by the fact that it's used as a playback for a disk recorded by a DVR of the same brand and modelRead full review...

Toshiba DVD/VCR Addict

This is my second Toshiba Model DVR 670 in the last 2 years. I liked the first one for about a year after I bought it but then it started acting up. The VCR started eating tapes then eventually the DVD recorder started acting up. I decided to get another re-furbished one and figured I had better get a two year warranty to protect it. So far, so good, I feel safer with that extended warranty although it doesn't mean it won't break down. There were a number of reviews that pointed to re-furbished equipment lasting longer than new as well as being less expensive, so I decided to go in that direction. I'm very happy with the performance of this Toshiba so far and think it was worth trying again.Read full review...

Great for VCR to DVD Recording

Even though it is 10+ years old, this is the best unit for copying VCR tapes to DVD. Although it requires several steps to do it, the results are excellent. I had a problem with the 1st unit, but Tim immediately offered to replace it. The 2nd unit works great.Read full review...
