The Toshiba DR430 DVD Recorder isn’t just a simple DVD recorder. Your kids may not appreciate the comparative fuzziness of VHS images, but the movies you burn on your DVDs don’t have to look that way.
The DR430 can convert your home movies into 1080p resolution.
Home movies aren’t the only videos you can record either. If you remember your old VHS, then you remember recording favorite TV shows.
Now you don’t have to use your old VHS to do so, since the DR430 can do that too. And it’s so easy to do with the One Touch Recording feature. You just need to hook up your cable or satellite service to the DVD recorder.
Recording is possible on multiple formats, including DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW.
Now there are some people who may say that even DVDs are becoming passé, and that portable hard disks and USB sticks are now the norm.
But DVDs still have their uses. If you wish to save something you don’t plan on deleting anytime soon, then it’s much better to just burn them on DVDs!
if you are still in the habit of recording home movies, you now have an easy and convenient way of storing what you’ve recorded. You can connect your camcorder to the Toshiba DR430 DVD Recorder so you can immediately save what you’ve recorded.
This way you will keep your camcorder ready to go and it can make the difference from getting that once in a lifetime moment on tape to missing it completely!
If you just want to use the Toshiba as a DVD player, it works great and gives you near HD quality with its 1080p up conversion by HDMI. You will be hitting a new level for an outstanding viewing experience.
The auto finalize feature makes it simple to finalize the recording process so you can playback on standard DVD players.
it comes with a special remote so that when you connect your recorder to other compatible devices through HDMI, you can control them with the same remote.
Most of the complaints about the Toshiba DR430 DVD Recorder aren’t actually caused by the unit itself. Everyone who buys it knows (or should know) that it’s considerably basic in terms of features.
No, the number one cause of complaints is the manual, which is poorly written and I’m putting that mildly. It’s as if Toshiba tried to save some money by refraining from hiring a tech writer and instead funneled their native language instructions through Google’s translator.
Nevertheless, do try to read the manual. You also really need to read up on the finalize section. You must finalize after you record on the disc, so that the DVD can play on other DVD players. It claims to have auto finalizer, but still, READ the manual, it is a process.
The Toshiba DR430 can copy your DVD’s, and home movies onto playable disc types such as DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW.
You can play your own DVDs and experience them in near perfect HD quality. You can record your favorite show by simply connecting the Toshiba to your cable or satellite box.
Front DV makes it possible to plug into your camcorder and transfer its contents on to a DVD. Auto finalize makes that process simple and your DVD will play on other DVD players.
Finally, remember that the Toshiba DR430 DVD Recorder “burns” movies on DVDs, so it generates a lot of heat. Don’t put it on top of the TV or cable box. Place it in a well-ventilated area instead. That way, you can preserve your home movies and favorite shows for a long time to come.
