Got this at COSTCO for $150 and it works well. (The DKVR60KU model does NOT have a digital tuner in case you want to do more than just copy old tapes.) I copied VHS tapes, a VHS-C cassette adapter, and used the DV front panel connector for my old digital video camera to copy home movies onto DVD-Rs. A few words of advice: some old, dusty tapes are very dirty so have a head cleaning cassette ready (moisten the pads with rubbing alcohol if you don't have any more of the liquid). A noisy audio track or a snowy video is a sign that the head may need to be cleaned. Don't forget to finalize the DVD-R and don't forget to create titles for each segment before finalizing. A new segment is created every time the DVD record function is stopped, either at the end of the tape or whenever you push STOP on the remote. I don't recommend activating the auto finalize feature because if you didn't create the titles yet it will be too late. The only negative about this product (and similar products) is that entering title information via the remote is clunky and error prone, and if you accidentally push some other button on the remote it may discard all of your hard work and so you have to start over. Read pps. 76 and 77 carefully. In particular note that when selecting character sets (caps, lower case, numbers, special chars), if you push ENTER but the selection highlighted already has the checkmark next to it then it will exit the title entry process and go to step 6, "Select Yes or No". If you do this select Yes and then re-enter the Edit Title Name process to pick up where you left off. If you select No then all of your work will be lost. Good luck.

This is a very nice DVD Recorder/VCR Combo with Built-In Digital Tuner. Our only complaints so far are minor: the front display is small (only legible if close to it) and using subtitles requires a few steps more than usual. It produces nice finalized DVD results but it has some cumbersome controls and requires many steps to accomplish some tasks.We also have a Panasonic DMR-EZ485V DVR DVD/VHS recorder that works well with nice results but it has even more cumbersome controls and requires many steps to accomplish most tasks.The Toshiba DKVR60 takes longer to load blank or prerecorded discs and finalize but otherwise has many simplified controls compared to the Panasonic DMR-EZ485V.We use both to record favorite TV series for watching until the series are available in DVD sets from Amazon or elsewhere.Both DVRs could use simpler instruction manuals with the most common things up front after the basic setup instructions.The Toshiba DKVR60 works with two different Comcast digital set top boxes so far. The Panasonic DMR-EZ485V does not work with the newest Comcast digital set top box.The VHS to DVD dubbing has proved handy for our own old VHS tapes (non-copy protected) and some tapes from friends.We would recommend the The Toshiba DKVR60 over the Panasonic DMR-EZ485V.

We purchased one of these units recently. After just a few months and only a dozen or so uses, it began randomly shutting off in the middle of dubbing or playing a video, and then refused to start again. When I described the problems to the Toshiba tech in India, he knew right away what was wrong - a defective power control board on the unit - indicating that they have had this problem frequently. However, he also informed me that Toshiba did not warranty the unit and would not repair or replace it. Fortunately, I had not had it very long and could return it to the retail store, but I am very disappointed with Toshiba for not standing behind their products, especially when they have so many defective units.
