Product Description

The Toshiba RD-XS35 Multi-Drive DVD Recorder is designed to provide you the greatest flexibility for recording and storing your favorite movies and TV programming. In addition to recording compatibility with DVD-RAM, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs, the RD-XS35 provides a spacious 160 GB hard drive, enabling high-speed dubbing from the hard drive to disc without any deterioration of the digital signal. You'll also have instant access to recording programs saved to disc.

The RD-XS35 also features playback compatibility with Video CD and CD-R/CD-RW discs as well as MP3 and WMA digital audio formats. With the JPEG Viewer, you can easily display your favorite digital photos and create custom slideshows with a few simple clicks of the player's remote control.

The TV Guide On Screen Interactive Program Guide provides an easy to read listing of the television programs available to view or record. The full 2004 version incorporated in the RD-XS35 provides an 8-day program listing, flexibility of recording directly to DVD or the HDD, the ability to perform keyword searches for locating favorite programs, and includes the G-Link IR Blaster for controlling cable boxes. When recording television programs, the name of the show, along with the channel and date, are automatically captured.

The Chase Play feature enables you to begin watching a recording that is already in progress. The Live Chase Play feature lets you "pause" a live recording and then return to it later. During playback of both modes, a bar graph can be displayed on-screen depicting the "progress" or location of the playback signal with regards to the real time recorded signal.

The advanced 3D Y/C digital comb filter (4MB, 10-bit) analyzes sequential fields of information to eliminate dot crawl and color bleed. It also significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricately detailed scenes. The Black Level Expander increases the black threshold level, so blacks are pure black, not dark gray, improving overall picture contrast.

You get vivid, realistic sound, thanks to Toshiba's 24-bit/192 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 optical digital audio output.

A Firewire port (also called IEEE1394 or i.Link) is available on the front panel for connecting compatible digital video camcorders. The RD-XS35 provides automatic recognition of the device and on-screen menu controls to easily direct the downloading process with the recorder's remote control.
