Reviews
"I bought this DVD recorder to copy many old family home movies on videocassettes to DVDs. After some advice from customer service at Toshiba, I have been able to use the recorder to dub my old home movies successfully to DVDs. Like several other users, I found that when I followed the instructions for dubbing to DVDs, the recorder showed a "Barred" icon, a slashed red circle. I got some very helpful advice from the first customer service agent at Toshiba, but I was still unable to resolve the problem. Both customer service agents at Toshiba were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of explaining their advice. I will summarize the advice below so that other people who have difficulties with the recorder can try these steps to resolve their problems. Press Play and then Pause (not Stop) at the point slightly before you wish to start copying."
"Prompt delivery, excellent packaging, and the product is working just great for us."
"Also machine was damaged on arrival with a dent in the top front, unsure how this happened, but reported to Amazon. Had literally 1000 VHS tapes to dub and was hopeful for a machine to hold up and do the job. Although VHS is an outdated format, I wish a more reliable company than Toshiba would produce a great machine that would do the job advertised."
"BUT THIS Toshiba DVD Recorder is full of frustrations and their customer service is even worse! The first time I got this same device was from a local pawn shop and it worked good for a while. This time when I bought it new at Amazon, I made sure to insure it and they said they will take care of my claim! If you buy this dvd recorder from Toshiba, you were amply warned and I can promise you'll regret it as I deeply do!"
"I made a couple on the machine itself and I took a few I had made on my prior machine. None of them upconverted although all my HDMI cables were set up correctly (I also tried Component cables to no avail)."

Best VCRs

Sony SLV-N71 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
The SLV-N71's dual-azimuth construction uses two pairs of recording heads rather than one, each optimized for a specific mode (one for SP recording, the other for EP), while 19-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. The VCR automatically marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each recording begins so you can easily scan back to the start of a recording using these signals as a reference. VCR Plus+ further simplifies programming, as it lets you set the VCR to record programs based on common PlusCode numbers found in the TV listings of over 600 newspapers and TV Guide --no more worrying about start and end times for your most frequently recorded shows. Adaptive Picture Control (APC) tests each tape and adjusts recording parameters for the best performance and adjusts playback for an ideal balance between picture sharpness and low video noise. VCR Plus+ lets you set the VCR to record programs based on common PlusCode numbers found in TV listings.

"I bought it for my 3 year old for a trip to Florida.Other reviews stated the plastic seemed cheap and I would agree When I first got it. That is not the case though My daughter is very hard on things and it has been super durable."
"Iv included a picture and video which have diagonal lines which are caused by the camera and are NOT visible on the actual screen itself."
"I bought this portable DVD player on the 6th of March, 2017; received it through Amazon prime on the 8th guaranteed."
"Included in the package is a mini DVD game disc, game controller, AC adapter (3 foot cable ), remote control, three foot long car charger/power cord, antenna and an audio/video output patch cord to plug the device into a TV that has composite video input ports. A glance at the instruction manual was not illuminating so I proceeded testing this review sample player by trial and error. The antenna (included) plugs in and I pushed the mode button until radio appeared on the screen and then stopped. Well, there was one problem, the battery was fully depleted after 103 minutes so I could not finish the movie without plugging in the AC adapter – something to note if taking the player on the road. This media player performs many functions but it is not built to withstand a lot of abuse, not surprising given its modest price point, so it may be better in the hands of an adult rather than a child."
"I'll refrain from regurgitating the product specs, which are comprehensive, and focus my review on what I liked about the review sample that I received and why I awarded it five stars. For me I love the convenience of having this in the kitchen to catch glimpses of movies while I am cooking. The video is more than adequate, as is the sound quality for close in watching. If I were more of a CD listener I would use that feature too, but to be honest I usually stream my music from a phone to a bluetooth speaker, so am not going to speculate in the sound quality for music."

"Here's the short version: If you grew up poor and can't mentally justify spending a month of rent in urban California on a single television, if you're poor as heck right now but could conceivably afford this television, if you've never owned a 4k TV, if you've never owned an especially large TV, you will not be disappointed by this gigantic freaking monstrosity of a display. The detailed version: Given the extremely low cost compared to similarly sized TVs it is surprisingly high quality. It has a lot of service integrations, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play Movies, and a few others. IT'S HUGE OH MY GOD I AM BAD AT CONCEPTUALISING PHYSICAL SPACE I DID NOT REALISE HOW BIG FIFTY-FIVE INCHES IS EVEN WHEN ESTIMATING ITS SIZE BASED ON MY EXISTING 40" TELEVISION I LITERALLY HAD TO REARRANGE MY ENTIRE ROOM AND BUILD NEW FURNITURE TO ACCOMMODATE THIS THING??????? Regarding complaints I've seen in other reviews: My product did not show up broken, it has not stopped working despite extensive use since I got it, I have no complaints about the refresh rate, it displays 4k content over HDMI with no issues, they say it's a glossy screen but it's really just unusually and disconcertingly smooth and otherwise significantly less glareful and reflective than my previous television, it has effectively no inconsistencies with backlighting or colour (just a small spot that's slightly brighter, which is only visible at extreme viewing angles or if the screen is effectively displaying nothing but black, and I don't mean like really dark or a scene at night I mean like literally it is displaying the colour black over 50% of the screen, and only then is it noticeable from a front angle, and just barely at that). So if you're one of those folks that buys artisan gold plated audio cables aged seven years in oaken casks, if you buy two of the Ti version of the latest nVidia graphics card because you absolutely need to run everything on "Ultra" at 120FPS in 4k, if you're the kind of person who thinks Grey Goose tastes better, you probably won't like this TV."
"It is a ridiculously good price, says it has HDR (HDR10), it has some local dimming type qualities and is under $400…It’s also from a manufacturer that, quite frankly, I am not very sure of as I am not familiar. What pushed me over the proverbial “edge” to buy this was two-fold…First, it is quasi suggested by Amazon, the price is great and I know it has a Roku built in. The reviews, research and data specs I found for this TV all outweighed going with a more familiar brand. Now, the premier models (aka, flagship) for Samsung and LG are absolutely AMAZING but they also cost a lot more. This TV has a refresh rate of 60hz but some internal hardware bumps it up to 120hz but does give it a bit of a “soap opera” effect. This is different as calibration usually makes the tv show it’s best picture but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. What I love about this is an option to use to have “Speech” mode so language in movies, shows, etc, is clearer without having to turn the TV up in general to loud levels. Breakdown. It has HDR (HDR10 and it looks great for the price). Great up scaling. Screen cast. Roku remote and User Interface. Simple, fast and easy to use User Interface. Good apps/thousands of channels because it is a Roku. 3 HDMI (All can do 60hz 4k at 4:4:4 or 4:2:2). Headphone/speaker out. OTA Tuner. Component input. Great Sound for a budget TV. 1 ARC HDMI. 1 MHL HDMI. As wide as my 2010 Sony 46” TV (small bezel on this). Inexpensive. Full LED backlight array, it seems, with local dimming. It doesn’t perform as well as much more expensive TV’s but it performs well at this price point. Wifi – True Dual Band AC and have had ZERO drop outs thus far. Some cons are: Needs another HDMI input. No 3D (if that is a con). Could use more than 1 USB port. I would recommend taking advantage of the 2 year warranty available so you get the 1 year manufacturer one and 2 after that."
"The Roku OS is super easy, The antenna integration and USB storage for recording live programming are great. If this set can continue to perform, I will replace my main Panasonic Plasma with the new TCL C Series. The pic is from a nature show "The Hunt" streamed from Netflix."

"I have nothing to compare it to other than my lightly textured tan wall and boy what a difference!"
"After the screen was attached to all the clips, I released the screen from the two top/center clips and two bottom/center clips (where the center posts gets wedged in). Then, with far end of the center post in the groove of the frame, I was able to use my index fingers and thumbs to force the post and frame away from one another just enough for the end of the post to drop down into the groove."
"Easy to install and looks amazing!"
"Also when you put the first tension rod in place, you want to measure its position first to make sure it aligns with the tension point at the opposite side of the frame."
"Also very much appreciated the person who posted the video instructions, as I've never assembled anything like this and it really helped me to see how it all went together. I would highly recommend watching the 4:59 "Excellent Screen" video before assembling."
"I am giving this 5 stars!!"
"This is my first screen - bought to go with my first projector and I couldn't be happier. The projector looks great against even a white wall .. but this screen takes it to another level."
"The only thing that we struggled with was the very last step which was inserting the support bar across the center so one thing I suggest is putting that bar in place before snapping the last few pins for the screen."

Come home to a more immersive experience with 4K HDR playback and the amazing realism of Dolby Atmos surround sound, plus the incredible detail of Hi-Res Audio. Stream in 4K HDR and play almost any disc or file format.
Reviews
"Positives: * Build quality (feels like a high end player). * Sleek, minimal, understated physical design. * Excellent scaling so 1080P Blu-rays look great (set to output 4K so the player does the scaling; I use the "Auto2" setting for '4K Upscale Setting' in 'Screen Settings' which outputs 4K video for everything when connected to a 4K compatible TV). * Supports 3D Blu-rays (as well as UHD BD discs, regular 2D Blu-rays, SACD, DVD, DVD-Audio and CD). * Has a 2nd HDMI port for audio only so you can connect it to a receiver (like one that doesn't support 4K). * Includes a wired Ethernet/LAN port (as well as built-in WiFi). * Includes Bluetooth so you can listen with Bluetooth headphones. * Decent paper/printed manual. * Small but functional remote. * Netflix starts very quickly. * 2x free 4K movie discs when you register the player and get a coupon (must do this before this offer expires). * Quiet. The downsides/quirks: * I had trouble manually checking for an update. * No Dolby Vision (DV) support. * No HDR support in Amazon app (but does support 4K) (the Netflix app does support 4K & HDR). * UPDATE 2017-08-12: Twice now it has frozen while watching 2 different 1080P Blu-rays. Other: * I could not get a bitstream/Atmos audio feed to my receiver until I turned off the "BD Audio MIX Setting" in the Audio Settings. * No display on front; just a small green LED that isn't annoyingly bright (use the 'DISPLAY' button on the remote for a nice on-screen display). * No analog outputs. * Made in Malaysia. * No optical digital out (instead it's coaxial). * No cables included (no HDMI cable so you'll need a "Premium High Speed" or "High Speed" HDMI cable that supports 18 Gbps bandwidth). So far this unit has been performing without issue and even updates over a wired connection (unlike my first unit). If this unit continues to perform well then I'll up my rating back to 5 stars and assume that my first unit was just a bad one. UPDATE 2017-09-02: The new unit has been working very well. UPDATE 2017-10-11: My new unit continues to work better than my old one (no freezes and reboots) but there are bugs playing content back, especially Netflix when it tries to do a Dolby Digital+ soundtrack... some very strange things can happen if you try to go back 10 seconds."
"It got to a point where the picture was distorted, would blank out, and/or the player would freeze up and only a hard reset would fix the issue. To be clear, yes the HDMI cable was updated and more than capable of handling 4K, the picture would distort when playing both discs (DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K) and apps (Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Vudu), and it wasn’t the TV because I even purchased a new Sony XBR55930E. Buyer beware, this is a great player when it works but it is absolutely not worth the time, effort, and frustration. Player #1: Easy set up, everything loads very quickly, and the control is noticeably heavy, in a good way. Therefore, unless you absolutely ~must~ have a 4k blu ray player (we've invested pretty heavily in 4k movies at this point), then I would hold off on this purchase until improvements have been made."

Reviews
"Havana FL Terrain: Hilly in a slight valley and trees surrounding the property. Movies and TV shows streamed via my DSL and my DVD collection helped. Recently I decided to try a converter box on my TV, it's an oldie but goodie HD 1080i DLP. I used my old satellite RG6 cable and hooked the antenna to it and laid it on the patio rail. I also decided to pick up a Windgard XT LNA-200 Boost preamp since this antenna is not amplified at all. I placed the LNA on the pole right under the antenna, hooked everything up and aimed the Yagi to 94 degrees magnetic. Construction is of high quality aluminum, stainless, and plastic/nylon parts and I have no doubt it will last for years to come. Networks received - ABC CBS NBC FOX and a few piggyback stations that transmit from the networks including a channel that plays old B&W movies, love 'em, and a local weather channel so I can tune into MY area for up to date weather feeds. All the other antennas I tried only got signal strengths fluctuating of around 49 - 55% amplified - that was unacceptable to this engineer. The RCA ANT751R and the Wingard LNA Preamp are a perfect combo if you live in an area like mine. -v-. Update: 04-04-2017. The antenna reviewed above with it's Wineguard Preamp are still functioning perfectly."
"Once i got the antenna installed and correctly oriented, I went from 0 to 48 digital and analog channels!"
"I've also added a 4 tuner Tablo Wi-Fi DVR with a 2 TB Western Digital Elements hard drive. With the local channels covered, Amazon Prime and Netflix we have plenty of content to watch."
"So I purchased and installed this antenna up in my attic and ran a coax to the splitter downstairs to feed my house."

"While I'm not new to A/V I am new to dedicated home theater equipment, so I immediately called around to a few local professionals who design and install this stuff for people to find out what kind of equipment they work with and recommend and this receiver was at the very top of the list for really good equipment on a budget. I HIGHLY recommend this receiver for use in a home theater setup!"
"Once I got past the Japanese setup screens (the language is the icon with "ABC" on it), it was pretty simple. That's normally a good thing; but not if you want to continue to listen to a CD and only had the TV on to change a setting. But I do have an older TV that requires me to use audio out (RCA plugs) linked to Audio1 on the amp. The amp produces the upper frequencies beautifully and cleanly, and the timber of the violins and cellos is exquisite. I had an Onkyo which I thought handled those things really well until I heard this Yamaha."
"This unit is designed to link video equipment and output their associated audio. The unit offers a number of pre-configured sound-modifying selections, each adding fixed amounts of reverb along with slight fixed tonal adjustments to enhance your movie viewing or gaming experience. Yamaha devoted a lot of hardware and firmware to decoders, special spatial effects and multi-room networking but left out the most important audio adjustments."
