Record your favorite TV shows and home movies to compact, durable DVDs. Toshiba's D-R4 gives you the superior picture quality and reliability of DVD, plus simple, flexible recording options. It even helps you organize and label your recordings, for easier navigation of your personal video library. The D-R4 can record to different kinds of discs for different jobs. For recordings you want to keep forever, use permanent, write-once DVDs. These discs can't be erased, so you'll never accidentally record over something you wanted to save. For shows you want to watch once or twice and then delete, you can use rewriteable, erasable DVDs. Using a type of rewritable disc known as DVD-RAM, you can take advantage of some handy capabilities similar to those found on hard drive-based digital video recorders. For example, you can start watching a program from the beginning while it's still recording. Or, you can pause playback while the deck continues to record, and watch the rest later. Less

Heed The Reviews Here...Do Not Buy This Deck!

bysounddude Jul 17, 2011
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros None. Panasonic is no longer the reliable company it used to be!
Cons 50% failure rate, old technology. Do not buy this deck. Check out the Magnavox MDR515H
Recommended it? No

I'll be short and sweet here.

I'm a film and video professional. I've worked in the business for over 25 years so I know equipment. I bought this deck to replace high quality Panasonic machines we've used over the years and finally wore out.

Panasonic is NOT the reliable company... Read full review »

Pros Good manual, lots of options, great up-conversion, remote controls TV too
Cons Can lock-up occasionally
Recommended it? Yes

We don't have cable, satellite, or any other pay-tv service, so when we were looking for DVD recorders, it had to have a tuner. That eliminated about 95% of the models on the market. Of those remaining, the Panasonic had the best reviews, so we picked it up over the summer and haven't looked... Read full review »
