Overview
Playing DVDs and VHS tapes from one box, this Toshiba combo saves shelf space and records tapes from a cable or satellite box with one button. Progressive scan video leaves through component outputs, while a coaxial jack sends surround sound to a receiver.
Tape and disc playback in one unit is the reason to buy, especially for families converting or watching old home videos. Connection options are analog only, which limits picture quality on modern sets.
Who it's for
Households keeping old tapes alive while still watching DVDs get both formats in one remote controlled unit. Owners of newer TVs without analog inputs should confirm connections first.
Pros and cons
- DVD and VCR in one unit
- One touch VCR recording
- Progressive scan component output
- Coaxial digital audio out
- No HDMI output listed
- Analog video only
- Short labor warranty
Performance notes
DVD picture quality runs through the video converter and progressive scan, which suits component inputs on a TV. Surround sound travels as a digital stream over the coaxial jack to a decoder. Tape playback quality depends on the four head mechanism and the tape itself.
