 Toshiba DKK840 September 3, 2010

Quality of picture is good. Was delighted that it had a feature where you can create and hide chapters for an editing effect. Creating text is a bit antiquated but easy enough to deal with. Connections however did not allow direct cable hook up. Overall am very pleased.
 Excellent solution August 30, 2010

I bought this as a replacement after my RCA DVD recorder of 4yrs stopped working. It's not as easy to use but once you get used to the different function it's ok. Works alittle slow loading and then copying to DVD. Picture is Great on recordings. For the price a great pick.
Great job of basic DVD recording July 6, 2010

After irreconcilable problems with my Samsung DVD VR375 DVD-Video dubber, a unit I don't recommend, I gave up on it and decided to take a different approach to converting my old videos to DVD: buy a DVD recorder and record off of one of my VCR players. After studying customer reviews for "inexpensive" DVD recorders, I decided to buy the Toshiba DKR40KU.
I have only used it to convert VHS to DVD but I want to report that it does an excellent job of doing that, and it is extremely easy to use in this context. If you don't want to fool with creating specific chapters, it is automatically set up to allow you to use the remote, while playing, to skip from one part to the next, at designated intervals (5 min., 10 min., or etc.). (It seems to be pre-set for 10 min., but you can use "setup" to select a different interval if you wish - see p.34 of English manual, "Setting for Auto Chapter".) You don't need to give the DVD a title, if you want to keep things simple.
It should work just as well for making "real time" copies of TV programs. (It got mixed reviews regarding making timed recordings, with one reviewer saying it was not that difficult and suggesting the problem some people were having was related to the user rather than the recorder.)
For recording, hook the output of the recording source to the input of the Toshiba (of course); select the recording mode (to accommodate the length of the recording - see p.33 of the English manual, "Recording Mode"); put in a blank DVD (DVD-R in my case, for copying VHS) and let the unit "load"; start the VHS (or other recording source); then when you want to record simply push the red "record" button on the Toshiba remote. To stop recording, push the remote's stop button (with the little square image). After the unit does its basic "finalization", if you want to play the DVD on other units, do an official finalization (p.31 of English manual, "Finalizing a Disc").
I like that it has an HDMI output for connecting to the TV (as well as other output options).
Based on my limited and very specific usage, I highly recommend this recorder.
