Comments on Toshiba DR19DT DVD Recorder

In an ideal world, we'd simply tell everyone to buy the award-winning Panasonic DMR-BS850 and be done with it. But it is pricey, which makes decks like the DR19DT a cheaper option for people who are happy sticking with DVDs. Trouble is, there are DVD recorders on the market from the likes of LG, Panasonic and Philips that offer more features, better operating systems and a superior picture quality, and they don't cost a great deal more either. But if the DR19DT still takes your fancy, then rest assured it carries out its basic recording tasks well and makes a terrific upscaling DVD player to boot.

Sounds like this machine's specs fall a bit below the standards expected and achieved in a lot of categories nowadays.

Personally I cannot understand anyone buying a recorder minus hard disc function these days.

Many good HDD models don't cost that much more than average performing DVD recorders.

While the Panasonic DMR-BS850 is an exceptional machine, there are other DVD HDD recorders in the Panasonic range that cost a lot less and give very satisfying performance.
