How good and efficient is the instructional DVD ?

It really just helps you set up the guitar, tells you how to use the tuner and change the strings then it has videos of the various notes you can play. Pretty helpful but you could find these things on YouTube or a similar site. Definitely not a selling point but it is nice to have. I love this guitar, the extras are just that, extra.

No DVD, and somewhat limited instruction in the back of the assembly manual. It does suggest you consult your physician for usage guidelines.

To be honest, I don't know. We don't use the DVD part of the computer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I don't remember getting a Dvd but comes with great instructions for assembly.plus you can download the operating installation manuals. You will like the opener for the price. It is a little slower than I would like but is dependable one it is set correctly.

The dvd came with mine but I also bought it used and it specified what came with it, good luck.

About an hour if you do it with the DVD, but I believe you could get substantial benefits from taking the time to learn it slowly (90 days with dedication!) and then do the routine carefully, but faster after you master it. Not much help, I know, but this is a sort of different animal! Good health to you!

I found it to be easy to follow. There are 3DVDs in the set. There is one segment called "Total body workout" that I really like. You can start off easy and work your way up.

Yes. YouTube is full of short instructional videos. Good luck it's very easy to use.

I have spent a couple of years learning a great deal from the 2 sites I mentioned. First went there not having the slightest idea what was going on (and I had been a Windows programmer for 8 years!!). Yes, the techy software you find there has a learning curve, but the forums furnish a treasure-trove of guides and additional info. I've transferred hundreds of hours of tape to DVD. Couldn't have done it without the info and links I found on those 2 sites. I still spend hours there at least twice a week. You'll also see some good info about Oppo, DVD players and tape sources in general in the videohelp.com "tools" section and the "forum".

Generally yes. The picture quality is excellent. equivant to a good DVD. Sound quality is also excellent without any humming or self generated background noise. However, I noticed that if I place the camera on a table for example and there is something off to the side but in the view of the camera, the auto focus will become confused and the person being filmed is then out of focus. Also, while they tout 120 minutes of recording, the best I've gotten without a re-start is about 70-minutes. ed

Sorry for a long delay in responding to this question. The DVD is not detailed enough for getting a good start as a total newb. That is where I was when I purchased the guitar and I had researched online lessons and DVD lessons from various sources before getting the guitar. Once I got the DVD that came with it I was aware that it wasn't adequate. I signed up for Guitar Tricks and I am still working with that program. That program is very complete and allows you to see progress from the beginning, but there are gaps that I've had to fill with YouTube lessons on very specific stuff like learning more complex strumming patterns including up strokes. You will need to develop your own plan for learning too. Sorry for a long delay in responding to this question. The DVD is not detailed enough for getting a good start as a total newb.

I just purchased a Toshiba D-VR610 DVD/VCR recorder (tunerless), for the purpose of copying my VHS tapes to DVD. Other than a poorly-written manual, I like the unit. I'm using rewriteable DVDs, so that I can learn how to use the unit without wasting DVDs.If you read through all of the reviews on the various websites (Amazon, Bestbuy, etc), you will find that this unit gets high marks by customers, whereas most other brands have various issues.

I don't belive there is a dvd. But, there are many good videos on Utube and such. The kit opperation is easy, but please be well informed on, powders, loads and safety

No. The DVD I owned was very bad, I did not use it a lot. It won't play smoothly, it froze quite often and stop played. I throw it away.

Positively, absolutely I would buy it again. It is still my favorite program. I just finished disc 1 out of 5 discs. There is a mountain of lessons on each disc. But I feel more confident about my learning Spanish. I still have Rosetta Stone, but I use Fluenz way more. And I liked it so much I bought a copy for my daughter.
