    It takes up less space than seperate tape and DVD players. You can record a DVD onto a cassette

    Very, very disappointed with Toshiba for even offering a product this bad. There may have been some techno nerdy way to get the thing to work but I could not figure it out. No support from the Toshiba 800 number, the 24/7 Geek Squad protection 800 number, or Comcast tech assistance. The only picture I could get was grainy in black and white for both DVD and VCR. The only positive was when I took it back to Best Buy, the refund went smoothly.

    This device works OK. Video tapes stick a bit when ejecting. Be prepared to extract them as the door prevents them from exiting freely.

    A decent player for folks that have a lot of VCR tapes transitioning to DVD viewing. Player lacks HDMI cable capability but does well enough via component cable set.
