Toshiba's RD-XS32 is a well built, well featured player. It may be a complex unit but it performs well. On the downside, the hard drive may seem small compared to some of the opposition. As with all DVD-R/HDD DVD recorders it pays to shop around to get...

Another unique feature is the ability to set the recording bit rate. There are five record modes: SP (4.6 megabits per second, which allows two hours of recording on a 4.7-GB DVD and nearly 36 hours on the hard drive), LP (2.2 Mbps; four hours on a...

Toshiba RD-XS32 HDD/DVD Recorder Reviewed

If we were to lay the DVD evolutionary chart on top of the human evolutionary chart, we're currently two or three guys in from the right. DVD has come a long way, and it continues to penetrate mediums and platforms......

Excellent product

An excellent quality DVD recorder offering an amazing specification for a great price. I believe 80GB should be enough storage for most people.

Excellent picture quality, Superbly menu driven, Easy to operate, Good capacity HDD, PIP, Timeslip, Quiet operation, Compatible with Red Eye & Telewest Pace 4000, Watch the HDD or DVD whilst recording.

DVD loading times a little slow, Menu systems need time to appreciate, No backlit remote.
