As other posts mentioned,after little use recorder won't play DVD's even new ones message comes up DVD disk may be corrupted a Toshiba Recorder is a total waste of money

    After very little use the DVD reader stopped reading. Tried lens cleaning, no avail.
    Contacted manufacturer, no avail. Found out OEM manufacturer, contacted several times, no reply. Can't use it anymore, total loss of money

    Manual shows a chart where under recording from HDD to DVD-R it says 'YES'- but it didn't. An email to Toshiba informed me that it dubbed only to DVD RAM (Why?) which contradicts the manual. The recording system they said I had to use (Video Creation) is very complicated and with all the settings done correctly to give me 4 hours of recording on my disc, it wouldn't let me record more than 2 hours!!!!
    I strongly urge everyone NOT to buy this recorder.

    I have given up trying to get in touch with Toshiba Canada regarding my Toshiba RD-XS32 DVD recorder. They don't respond to emails, and they keep you waiting on the phone for over 30 minutes. I have tried 6 times to phone them, and each time I give up after 20 to 30 minutes with no response, or even an idea of how long the wait will be.

    There are more reliable DVD recorders than this; like Pioneer or even Hitachi, which I have never had problems with after 2 years.

    I have owned the Toshiba RD-XS32 DVD recorder for 18 months now, and I could not live without one now! However, after 15 months it stopped writing to DVD-R and DVD-RAM, so I can only record to DVD-RW's! Toshiba were very helpful, but I guess it will cost £150+ to repair. Ouch!

    Not sure if I will replace it or have it repaired. I am not impressed with its reliability.

    I have owned the Toshiba RD-XS32 80GB DVD recorder for several months now, and I find that the DVD-R's I am creating are getting progressively more and more unreadable. I have made over 10 now, and with different DVD-R brands, and the last 3 would simply not play. I am disappointed that the unit will not read DVD+R DVD's or burn them.

    I nearly bought the Pioneer unit instead of the Toshiba unit, and I feel that I am regretting my decision.

    My next dilemma is whether Toshiba can fix this u ...

    When using my Toshiba RD-XS32 DVD Recorder, I had the same problem with RW discs as a previous reviewer. The answer is, you must use for version 1.1 - revision 1.0 disc, and 2xwrite speed. For version 1.2 disc - 4xwrite speed. You get the problems as stated in the previous review, and when trying to format, you get the message lock. When you look at the disc information, it says locked rd-xs 34. You can use the 1.2 disc! See page 9 in the user guide.

    All in all a great machine, small irritation with the RW's, normal DVD-R no problems at all.

    My first foray into DVD proved a problem. The machine I had suffered from very noticable Chroma shift on one colour (blue) and wasn't what I expected for this brand. Fair play to Toshiba and Empire Direct - the retailer who accepted the fault. I opted for a different brand as I didn't want to risk this as a "feature of the model". Have subsequently had a JVC (sound sync problems) and finally a pioneer (perfect)I also realise the operability of this could be a lot better.

    Having bought the Philips DVDR80 and got a refund because GuidePlus (EPG) wouldn't work, I waited for a recorder that allowed you to record to DVD-R/RW and played MP3 discs. So, I took the plunge for the Toshiba RD-XS32. Well what can I say? I am blown away with how good this recorder is.
    MP3 playback: The quality of sound is as good if not better than my Marantz CD Player.
    Programme Recording: This can be undertaken in a number of ways; hit the OTR button and recording start immediatel ...

    The Toshiba RDXS32 is a great DVD Recorder, I purchased it from richer sounds for £423. instore is £500 but if you print the product off the website they will give you discount. i was amazed by its features, it recognizes your camcorder when connected via firewire(DV) and starts synchro recording with editing features. the hard drive is great as well, it makes loss free copies onto dvd-r, have not used dvdram yet. Timeslip is amazing as well
