It's been almost 8 months since your post so I do not know if you still need the answer. Just thought if someone else has the same situation, here is how to make it work. DR-410 only auto finalize when the disc is full or on-timer when you have the option set. If you have a disc that is not playable, you simply manually finalize the disc you created.

I looked up the Toshiba product that you mentioned. I don't see a problem at all. Let me break it down by what I can tell from the product description. "One Touch Recording makes recording your favorite show simple. Just connect the DR430 to your cable or satellite box and you are set to record with the push of one button." Simple enough. Do what it says then connect your cable or satellite box to the receiver with an HDMI cable to the SAT/Cable in slot. Run another HDMI cable from the receiver to your HDTV. "With the DR430, converting and archiving your favorite home movies to DVD is simple. You can also experience your DVD movie collection in near HD quality with the DR430's 1080p up conversion via HDMI. Video up conversion up to 1080p resolution via HDMI takes your current DVDs to a new level, for an amazing viewing experience on today's HDTVs." If you were going to just use the DVD recorder like a DVD or Blu-ray player to take advantage of the up conversion you'd connect the DVD recorder to the DVD input on the receiver with another HDMI cable. You could also connect it by an HDMI cable to one of the available video slots. Either way would work. Hope that helps.

Okay, so here is what I found. I found a copy of the operation manual on line, free copy. It shows four RCA plugs on the back. 2-in 2-out. Record and Playback. Specification...Line in X 2....Min. input level :600 mV(0db) Now does it go to the recorder??? looks like it. I would think it should, I guess. Well, for $72 I guess I will try it, sounds good anyway. Want to record cassettes for a Walkman for walking in the after noon, to loose weight. I'm tired of the Small MP3 player. I will follow this message when I get the PT649D. Wish me luck. (The question ask Dec.2010..WOW.. long time ago.)

This model does NOT allow recording to discs because the DVD player on this model is not a recorder; but, the VCR should record to VHS tapes. I have used off-brand VCR/DVR combinations, although each has stopped working almost immediately (probably because many of the inside parts come from the same few factories). Maybe not what you were hoping to read, but it'll cut down on frustration from trying something this machine cannot do. You will also have problems recording from discs to tapes since "store-bought" discs have copy protection. If you are looking to purchase a disc recorder, be sure to note which types of discs they can use for recording. Some discs can be recorded to several times (like a cassette tape). Others are like vinyl records and may only be recorded to one time. Plus (+) and minus (-) signs determine future playability, too. Talk with a salesperson at an electronics shop (like H. H. Gregg) or the electronics section of a department store (such as Sears). I like discounts, but often a trained salesperson is worth buying from so you don't end up with less (or more) than you'd bargained for--at least until you really understand the differences between models.

I don't know guys, I still haven't figured it out. Reading thru other posts here is making me think I'm going to return this thing. I really thought I'd like it, but if I can't string together my video clips to burn to DVD, WHAT is the point? It doesn't seem you can ask this question at the Vado official site either w/out first entering all the numbers off the box it came in. What a pain, I don't carry the box around w/ me. They also do not have an 800# that I can find on the site to call. Frustrating! I wonder how many customers they are losing?

I am having the same problem. I ended up using my external DVD writer with my Dell. I wanted to import directly to my Mac so I could edit, but Sony didn't put a firewire on this recorder. I can copy the DVD from the camcorder on my PC, but I can't figure out how to edit it on my Mac.

I have found manuals by doing Google searches, and it can take going through a few pages. I don't have a link for you, but you should be able to find one using the model number.

I don't know about manuals, since I got mine used. You can always look them up on Dell's website. It has no disc drives, so no discs. It can be set to factory specs using the files on a separate hard drive partition.

Thanks. That answers my question about recording off the TV. Do you know if we can view/play VHS tapes using the Toshiba DVR610? Other people have written saying that they haven't been able to do so. Thank you.

I have two DVD recorders. One is the Sony RDR-GX315 which seems to reject discs at random ("This disc can neither be recorded or played") and will not record premium channels from the DirecTV DVR. The other DVD recorder is the Toshiba D-R410. I have had it for about a month and it has not rejected and discs and records successfully any program from my DirecTV DVR. If you have an HH Gregg store in your area, you might be able to pick up the 410 new in a box for under $100.

My old one (same model) became increasingly fussy about discs before it just refused to record on any. They are notoriously fussy about recording on DVD- discs. I think the formatting has changed also over the years, so they cannot record on some DVD+ discs. It's best to just record on DVD+ anyway, b/c the Toshiba, for instance, will convert an older DVD+ disc so you can finish out, edit and finalize, but all the Toshiba will do is play an unfinalized DVD- disc. Find a brand that works for your recorder, and stick with that brand, DVD+ only. If your recorder gets fussy woth THOSE, it's probably not going to last much longer.

Mine came with a manual. But I have never had a reason to refer to it. Simply connected it to audio inputs on my receiver, loaded some disks and began to use it. If you have a power failure, it will revert to disc one, cut one. Also when loading it is possible to put two disks in one slot -- not a good idea.

Hi there, there is no sort of manual and should work immediately as it did with my blu ray player. I hope this helps, and if it's the wrong one, sent it back and hopefully you find the correct one

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.

Ye, I also have the Toshib Portable dvd for this, and it works very well! I've used mine many-many times. However...it seems that the Toshiba laptop works best with another Toshibs brand. I bought my Toshiba Portable dvd from amazon!

You might try to get it from Toshiba, but this model of DVD player is not sold anymore. Also you can get universal remote from Bestbuy or Fry's , which can be programmed to control most of the functions of the DDV player.
