Avoid the Frustration
I bought a Toshiba because of its supposed quality name. Unfortunately, I was led astray. The dvd/vcr 291 hummed and buzzed loudly when I hooked it up. Then, when I tried to record a tv program, the resulting picture rolled and jumped so much that no amount of adjusting would fix it. I returned it to Best Buy and they exchanged it for a Samsung, no questions asked.Besides the terrible recording, I struggled through the remote's instructions with its multitude of buttons. I'm no idiot, but after an hour trying to figure out which buttons did what, I began blathering like one.So, avoid this piece of junk.
