Build Quality
Customers are generally pleased with the build quality of the Toshiba D-R400, praising its reliability and reasonable price for the given quality. Some have used it for years without issues, while a few mentioned they haven't tried all the quality settings but are satisfied overall. However, some customers hinted at potential future replacement when new technology emerges.
Flexibility In Editing
Customers generally praise the flexibility in editing of the Toshiba D-R400 DVD Recorder, allowing them to cut out unwanted segments and make DVDs of movies on TV. However, some users find the process time-consuming due to the need to edit commercials out.

I am very satisfied with the recording and dvd playing quality.
In the 4 hour mode, picture quality is pretty much indistinguishable from the original tv broadcast, and you can fit two movies on a disk.
I have had this dvd recorder for quite a few years now and it has never failed to create magnificent recordings for me.
Price
This is a great machine at a great price!
At $100, i highly recommend this unit.
For the price its a super machine.
Can you belive for less than $100 and to think that just a few years ago a vcr/dvd combined player was $250 at xmas time,
Shipping
Came in a timely manner and works fine.
I finally got this thing in the mail over the weekend, and i am very impressed so far.
Competitiveness
Then i tried maxell dvd-rw discs and that worked well; much better than a vcr.
Played first standard dvd hooked up to sony 1080p hdtv - awesome picture compared to other standard toshiba dvd player that we owned.
I bought this product so i could play dvd-rw discs in dvd-ram format from another dvd-recorder.
This is my first dvd recorder and i wonder if its picture compares to the popular panasonic.
