Title: serves basic needs
Review: I bought this model to replace my several year old Panasonic that took a lightning hit. So far the Toshiba records OK, but only for 2Hrs or less. It can not touch my old Panasonic for clarity! The Panasonic produced outstanding video regardless of the length of a movie. Panasonics "flexible recording mode" made use of the entire DVD disk recording at the highest bit rate to fit the exact length of the movie - thereby offering the best picture possible. A movie 2Hr and 12Min would be timed perfectly at the highest bit rate so as to use the full disk capacity. Unfortunately, the Toshiba produces poor picture quality to record a 2Hr and 12Min movie because you are forced to record in LP 4Hr mode wasting half the disk. I could not choose Panasonic at this time due to the poor ratings of their new models and wonder is they even offer the flex time recording feature on the new models.
