    I bought a Toshiba DR-2 Recorder back in September which I was very pleased with for the first few months. Since then, I notice there is a "hesitation" at certain intervals during playback of a recorded media from this unit.

    I use ProDisc DVDs and have just ordered Taiyo Yuden 4x DVDs to try to see if this cures the hesitation problem.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Can I possibly have a setting wrong?

    It's a fairly frequent occurance that is noticed more during a sporting event like hockey.

    Amazon has agreed to take it back and refund my purchase price. I would like to replace it with something that is more reliable. What models would you all recommended for around $300??

    It seems more like a media error. Try VERBATIM discs, the MCC AZO dyes seem to work better for stubborn DVD players.

    The spindle can get dirty causing the disc to slip too.

    Good catch. Slipped my mind.

    Is this a smoking house?
