Amazon.com Product Description
Get maximum enjoyment out of both your VHS and DVD movie libraries with the progressive scan Toshiba D-VR5 DVD player/recorder with integrated full-featured VCR. It records onto DVD-R/RW as well as DVD-RAM discs, and it's also compatible with playing CD-R/RW and VCD discs. You can play discs burned with MP3 and WMA digital audio files, and it's also DivX Home Theater Certified--meaning that it's compatible with video burned to disc using both the DivX video format. You can also view photo slideshows from Kodak Picture CDs with JPEG images. The D-VR5 makes it easy to connect to brilliant imagery with its component and HDMI connections--the latter offering pure digital audio/video performance with no degradation of signal.

The VCR features 19-micron heads that match precisely the width of the SP and EP azimuths and read only the signal recorded on each azimuth (not adjoining tracks). Other VCR features include 8-event/1-month programming and auto channel setup.

The DVD recorder allows you to record TV programming while your out of the house with a timer function, but it also offers easy one-touch recording. You get six compression modes for DVD recording from 1 hour to 6 hours of video onto one disc. Other recording features include automatic title/chapter/thumbnail creation, time base correction, and auto finalization. Playback features include fast forward with audio (1.5x speed), fast scan, and slow motion.

The D-VR5 performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

You get vivid, realistic sound, thanks to Toshiba's 24-bit/96 kHz pulse code modulation (PCM) audio processor. PCM audio translates digital signals from your DVDs and CDs into warmer, natural sound. The DVD player offers Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, and you can connect to a multi-channel home theater surround sound system via the coaxial digital audio output. It also produces 3D virtual surround sound from two speakers. It features the following video and audio connections:

Composite A/V: 2 in (1 front), 1 out
S-Video: 2 in (1 front), 1 out
Component Video: 1 out
HDMI: 1 out
RF: 1 in, 1 out
Digital audio: 1 optical

Tech Talk
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media.

HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

DVD-RAM is the most flexible of the recordable DVD formats when it comes to recording, editing and playback. With a DVD-RAM disc, you'll be able re-record content approximately 100,000 times.

false advertising.......2007-02-05

I bought this shredder from mmoreforless on Amazon and they did not say it was refurbished. It arrived wrapped in dirty paper towels (to soak up the leaking oil) and in a torn Little Debbie Snack Cakes box. Maybe okay from ebay, but not from Amazon.

But the shredder works fine. It is permanently stained from the oil, but is useable.

Best Little Shredder!.......2006-07-11

I often rely on these reviews so I want to let you know how much I LOVE this little shredder!
It IS small...that is the beauty of it...it is small, but powerful! It shreds credit cards. I like that.
It takes up a very small space and is not tall, so you can easily put it on a desk surface and use it as you open all of the pieces of junk mail!
Of course, it isn't practical if you have huge bundles of papers to shred...you'd need a larger machine. But for the everyday mail and paper shredding that I do, it is really great. You do have to fold the full sized papers, but when I get mail, I just put the pre-folded junk into the shredder. For the convenience of this machine, I don't mind having to fold the paper on those few times that it is necessary.
I used to have one of those larger shredders that fit over a waste basket, but it was too big, kept tipping over, and was noisy.
I'm telling you...I really love this little shredder and I am very happy that I found it.

Small but shreds good.......2006-05-21

Yes, this shredder is quite small, but for personal use it works quite well. It's ideal for putting it on a desk so it doesn't take up much room but you can still use it to shred receipts and such. It shreds everything into nice tiny pieces and is easy to dump out into the trash.

Smaller than it appears.......2006-03-24

Recently returned this item due to the fact it would not meet our needs. Item was smaller than I thought although if I had read the entire description, I would have known and not purchased it. Total size is about as big as a large coffe can and the opening is very small. To shred a regular size paper, you would have to fold it in half the long way and insert it. I guess it would work if you wanted a small shredder on your desk and only shredded credit card receipts and such. Picture was a little misleading on size.

SMALL~!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-02

When I first opened the package, I said to myself "Wait a min....is this what I paid for?" Because it was tiny~!!!! LOL I was like "You got to be kidding...~!! The smallest shredder I have ever seen in my life~!!" I bought it for my home office use, and spent hrs researching for the best kind to buy, reading review, and etc. I finally got my "well researched" item in hand,....and and...~!!! Well, I guess I will have to stay with this for a while. It is UGLY design and color to go with it. Besides its Made in USA. SIGH...........SUCK. Will see how I will get used to this tiny machine sitting in my home office.....may be I will spray paint it, since its so ugly. As far as Size, I can not help it.....I can not imagine anyone would make such small paper shredder~! What were they thinking?
