I've had this unit for a few months. It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago, at which point it started to hang and lag noticably at what I thought was layer switching. It now does this about 5 - 10 times per dvd I try to watch.

I bought this machine 9 months ago (not at Target). Hooking it up with cables caused it to "blink" on some channels. I went back to the store where I bought it and a clerk there told me it was probably because it was hooked up to an older TV and the tuners were incompatible. I bought a new TV and it did the same thing. This time a clerk in the store told me I needed to hook it to the TV with RCA cables instead of a regular cable. This worked fine except it didn't work for playing the VCR so I had to connect both ways. Then the dvd player quit playing through the RCA cables so I disconnected them and went back to using just the regular cable. Now the only way I can watch TV is with the player turned off. The DVD player started giving me problems with movies from Netflix. It would freeze, not back up, sometimes not even read the dvd. When I would put in one of my own, unscratched dvd's it worked ok so I figured it was just a problem with the well used dvd's from Netflix. The other night it froze and wouldn't back up with a brand new dvd. Tomorrow I'm buying a new DVD/VCR combo and I will NEVER buy another Toshiba product.

This is more of a love hate kinda thing. First I love the fact that it records and plays DVD's that the same time! The only other unit I have found that does that is an Apex. The picture is great both in tape and DVD. Now for the bad! The remote control, its white with black (with is OK) and orange thats right orange lettering with is hard to see when trying to use the unit at first. Also its not a smart remote, ot only works for the unit. Other than the remote it's a great unit, it has all the bells and whistles.
