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

GoVideo R6530 - Would be an OK unit - if it worked.

bygtff Jan 12, 2004
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Price, good feature set, jpeg-capable, tech support readily available
Cons small remote with too-small buttons, tacky design, unreliable burning
Recommended it? No

I just sent back my second GoVideo R6530. Consistant problems of unpredictable frequent repeated skipping, sometimes several chapters at a time. First one did it on two different brands of DVD+RW blanks, including the one that came with the unit. Thought it was just a dud unit and sent it back to... Read full review »

Don't "Go" There

Pros Price, stylish case, DVD+RW discs don't need finalizing to be compatible with most...
Cons Missing features, quirky user interface.
Recommended it? No

I bought the Go Video/Sonic Blue R6530 DVD recorder as a replacement for my VCR. I wanted a unit that records on DVD+RW discs because I'd read that you can play DVD+RWs in most DVD players without formatting or finalizing, both time-consuming processes. That makes the reusable DVD+RW discs just as... Read full review »
