80GB Hard Disc Drive with up to 103 hours of digital record time. Toshiba's Multi-Drive Recorders allows users to record and playback their favorite videos in stunning MPEG-2 digital

Description
The RD-XS32 DVD player/recorder from Toshiba combines a versatile video recorder and a high-end DVD player with a clear, realistic picture and warm, natural sound. The RD-XS32 is the perfect next-generation upgrade from your old VCR and a powerful addition to your home theater.

The multidrive recorders on the RD-XS32 allow you to record onto an internal 80 GB hard disk drive (HDD), a DVD-R disc, or rerecordable DVD-RW and DVD-RAM discs. The HDD holds up to 103 hours of programs, and you can rapidly dub shows from the HDD onto a DVD. A high-speed dub of a recording from the HDD onto a DVD-R disc can be completed 24 times faster than the length of the program. In other words, two hours of recording can move onto a disc in a matter of minutes. DVD-R copies of recordings made by the RD-XS32 will play on almost all DVD players and DVD-compatible computers.

Toshiba's time-slip playback feature allows you to watch a program that is being recorded from the beginning while the rest of the show records. You can also use the time-slip feature to pause a live broadcast that you are recording, and then resume watching it from where you left it, whenever you want.

Setting up a recording is simple. The RD-XS32 uses Gemstar's VCR Plus technology, which lets you select the programs you want to record by name, without worrying about setting the right time and channel. You can schedule up to 32 different shows with this timer recording feature.

The programs that you have recorded are logged into an adjustable menu that displays the date, time, and channel that you recorded. You will also see a still-video image of the show you recorded in the menu. You can rename the listings and create chapters within the recordings that allow you to easily skip to your favorite scenes or to dub a cleaned-up copy of the show you've recorded onto DVD. The easy-to-use menu also features a live action window that lets you monitor the program you are currently recording or playing.

In addition to high-quality recordings, you'll get the most out of your DVD library as well. The RD-XS32 utilizes Toshiba's ColorStream Pro progressive-scan video technology to yield vivid colors, clean resolution, and reduced onscreen distortion. The RD-XS32 uses digital cinema progressive scanning to reproduce your DVDs in theaterlike clarity. While the RD-XS32 is compatible with both analog and digital televisions, you will get the optimum effect by using the player with a high-definition-compatible television.

In addition to playing a full range of DVDs, the RD-XS32 plays CDs and MP3 audio files, so you can enjoy your favorite music. You can also view digital JPEG photos from CDs created in your computer with the RD-XS32.

The RD-XS32 features rear-panel composite audio and video inputs, and RCA inputs on the front panel to connect your camcorder for dubbing onto DVD. An additional digital IEEE1394 Firewire jack is included on the front panel for an instant connection with digital camcorders. The Firewire connection automatically synchs up with your camcorder and creates a customized onscreen menu for dubbing.

5 of 5 stars  Extremely Happy with this one
Thursday, April 14, 2005
I've had this RD-XS32 for almost 5-months now, and I'm still totally thrilled with this purchase. I'm a computer-geek, having ripped/edited video and DVD on a PC for a few years proved good background training for this unit (it basically feels like a PC, not a VCR). For newbies, this has all the same basic functions as a VCR. But, for people who want to do some serious video editing (chaptering and removing unwanted scenes) this thing rocks.

Downsides to this include a manual an inch-thick and a multi-function menu-system with a zillion options. Also, don't buy this if your TV doesn't have video-inputs (this only has coax throughput, there's no RF-modulator for channel 3/4). But, for those willing to learn, you can make this do some really cool things! I dropped-down my record quality for most-everything TV-related I record (1.4MB/s), and I had something like 85-hours of programs recorded on it before it started yelling at me (and the quality was fine). The "timeslip" chase playback is useful (play back while you're still recording), but the most-useful feature is recording one show while you play something you've already recorded from the content menu.

I am so thrilled with this unit (and, I don't know what others are talking about with the "black"-problem, I've made hundreds of DVD-R's off TV and my own Mini-DV camcorder, and had no problem... what they may be explaining is copy-protection of copywrited DVD-movies and they deserve to not see good copies), I'm about to buy another one for a different room!

5 of 5 stars  Excellent value for the money (old price $370)
Saturday, March 26, 2005
I bought it when the price was $370 and Amazon had $30 off $250 certificate. At that range, it simply creams everything else. Most others were about $100 more. Unlike most others, it plays -r, -rw and -ram formats (all panasonics or sonys do not). Only catch is u have to be in the -r/rw camp. Note that this will effect your future choice of dvd camcorders also -- so be careful. You want both -rw and -ram formats as you do not know which will win out.
Only problem is that most TVs do not have a S-video OUT so you cannot record higher resolution.
Else, works as advertised provided you buy "standard" discs like Memorex etc (Compusa dvds did not work).

5 of 5 stars  Does everything it said it does.
Thursday, February 24, 2005
Had the recorder for a couple of months now and it works great. I have tried using Maxwell DVD-RW and TDK DVD-R (8X) and didn't have any problems. The DVD-R works in all of my other DVD players including the one in my car. Love the fact that it has a feature to automatically figures out the best quality to record a movie over 2hrs into one DVD. Using the time recorder with my DirecTv programmable receiver, it works like a charm.

Manual is somewhat useless and you will need a lot of trial and error to get it working to your liking. The dubbing process is somewhat slow ever at the high speed option. It took approx. 5 minutes to copy a two hour recording to a DVD. I was expecting it to be faster for a machine dedicated for this kind of process. Another drawback I found was I couldn't create more chapters or edit the content if I recorded it directly on the DVD instead of the HDD. Otherwise it is a great machine for the price (under $400) I paid for.

1 of 5 stars  Amazon.com misleading
Sunday, February 13, 2005
I ordered this dvd recorder over three weeks ago, it took them this entire time to send me an email yesterday that said it was not available, I have now wasted three weeks waiting for this, and now must start completely over trying to find a good deal. I cannot see why they can start processing an order, and not be able to check availability within a reasonable amount of time..Interesting point is that even today, Amazon website still lists it as able to ship, which I find extremely misleading !!!I will not use Amazon.com again !!!

1 of 5 stars  Useless For Recording Cable
Thursday, February 10, 2005
The toshiba will not allow you to record any programs from HBO, Cinemax and others onto dvd-r or dvd-rw, because they are encoded with a "copy once" protection. Even though HBO/Cinemax allows you to record the program once, the Toshiba will not do it. Also, there is a major compatability issue with different brands of blank dvd-r and dvd-rw blank disks. You buy the blank disks, find out they are incomaptible and guess what? You can't return them to the store once they are opened.
Do yourself a favor and save your $$$$, it just aint worth it. I would recommend a cheap $139 noname dvd recorder from Walmart over this model.
