I have made DVDs that play on other players. You need to make sure the setup is done properly, selecting the aspect ratio and DVD compatible for the sound. Also, you need to finalize the disk after you are done recording (P. 122 in my manual). Finally, make sure you use compatible media. I have used DVD-R successfully. I hope this helps.

The issue is (as previously noted) that the disc needs to be finalized, however, my Toshiba RD-XS35 after a few years stopped finalizing discs which caused me to purchase a Magnavox HDD with similar features. I tried updating the firmware and resetting the device to factory settings but nothing worked. I assume your device has reached this same dead end.

blank discs are +r and -r. Is the disc compatible with the player? Or, are you recording to the disc or just to the hard drive on the toshiba?

U have to finalize the disc for it to be playable on other DVD players and PC

It could be your disc drive. Does it reconize other dvds? Or your disc drive is a dvd player but not a burner? If none of those are correct i d check software program your using to burn.

As there are no dvd recorders (except for extremely expensive ones) that record 1080p (HDMI) onto DVD's anyway, I that might actually answer the questions. If you have a DVD player that has the "upscaling" or "upconverting" feature, that is the best you can get, and you would use it with an HDMI to your TV to playback the DVD you have made.

Yes, this machine will play DVDs on other machines. THERE ARE TWO STAGES to finish recording. The first is hitting of the "off" button after you are finished (which will probably allow you to run the DVD on the SAMSUNG and no other machine. The SECOND State is to go to the Disk Manager menu and FINALIZE the disk. I played my recorded DVD on two different computers plus a SONY component. Again - two stages 1) hit OFF button when finishing recording;2) From Menu, go to Disk Manager and FINALIZE the disk.Another nifty feature, the machine automatically places 5 minute chapters on what you record.JV - cfnjv@localnet.com Yes, this machine will play DVDs on other machines.

I tried it - when I stopped playing of DVD, switch off and again switch on (no open of disc) then it started to play when I finished before. It is sufficient reply? Roman

After checking the instruction book, I don't think it's possible but I'm no expert. There's no DVD player or recorder on this.I also have a Magnavox HDD & DVD Recorder with digital tuner. That one would be able to record to the HDD.

No, this is not a DVD recorder. This unit can only play back DVD. Only the VHS part of this device can record

It's for PC not a stand alone recorder. You have to get a DVD recorder if they still make one.

it depends on the OS (Operating System) you are using and the version of it, but a solid solution for any OS it's download and install VLC player, if this does not fix the problem, try the DVD+/-RW USB External Drive on another computer and see what happen.

If you play in 720 or 1080 It is not compatible because this DVD recorder is maximum 480p

Use the software on the disc that came with the unit. There is a playback application on the installation disk along with other applications.

I purchased a Toshiba dvd/vcr combination recorder/ player. It is model # DVR670KU. I have never been able to get it to work. I have a Sony LCD Digital Color TV (Bravia). Even the cable guy could not get it to work. I bought it on Ebay (first mistake) and they would not take it back. I have had it 2 years and yet to get it to record or play a dvd. What am I doing wrong.

I prefer to use DVD-RW media...it also works. But as the previous poster said you have to finalize the DVD in the recorder. After that you can use any DVD player.

Remember this unit records to HDD and DVD. So you can record it to the HDD, but sometime you might have to copy it to a DVD if wanted to save space on the HDD. You can use the HDD as a VHS. The only way to transport the HDD content is to copy on a DVD otherwise you will have to disconnect your unit every time you wanted to see the HDD at a friend's place which is very impractical to do. Also when you record on the HDD, try to edit the title's name so you would remember what it is.

Mine plays DVDs better than any DVD player. Return your unit and get another one.

I would think yoiu could if you send the vedio to your computer. I would also check with Redio Shack to see if they make adapter that you could record from a DVD player. I have not tried this yet. I hope this helps.
