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.

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.

It works great! Easy to use. Good for converting old tapes and home videos. HDMI is a nice feature. Plenty of inputs.
