I bought a Toshiba DR-3 2 weeks ago and it was pretty cool, but not mind blowing. I changed it for the RD-XS34 today. And it`s blown me away.
70 hours of SP (near broadcast quality) recording. Record to HDD while watching a DVD. Record to HDD while watching something else on the HDD. Time-slip recording on the HDD. Editting. Dubbing to DVD-R or DVD-RAM.
I`m impressed!

After 25 years of engineering for me the fan noise isn't a problem. As fans go you can hear it but it seems to be of a low frequency and fairly quiet so not to annoying. If you buy over the internet you have 7 days from receiving goods to cancel the order. Why not try it out. I also have a http://www.jvc.co.uk/product.php?id=DR-MH30SEK&catid=18&lid= which does have a super quiet fan. But at twice the price of the Tosh!!!

Hi, Trying to make a dubb from the HDD to a blank Verbatim DVD-R, but I get an error message: `It is not possible to dubb additional content to this disc`. The content is 1:15:00 in length. Anyone out there with ideas as to why? WendellT

Can you tell me if the RD-XS34 can playback multi-region DVDs?
Thanks

Good afternoon one and all - please can I pick your brains? I`m still living in the video era, but want to upgrade. Should I go for DVD, HD, or a combination such as this Toshiba? I`ve noticed that many of these shiny new machines can`t actually do basic things that I take for granted. For example, I want to be able to record one channel while watching another - how is it with this Toshiba? And I want to be able to be able to lend recordings to friends, or save them to an archive for a rainy day. Can you save the HD recordings, or convert them to DVD?
