Bad Points

Remote control is a little slow, uninspiring menus, takes about 15 seconds to power up, editing controls are cumbersome.


General Comments

I have had the Sony RDR HX900 DVD recorder for 2 months now and use it all the time. It interrogates Teletext to write in the program name and you can add a thumbnail too. I have archived all of my videos and easily put them onto DVD. You can do chase playback with the hard drive and with DVD-RW. It is multiformat and the picture quality in Long Play is superb. It writes to DVD at exceptional speed too. The response to the remote control can be tardy and the editing facility is cumbersome-a jog wheel would have been perfect. It takes 15 secs or so to fire up which is a minor point (although a little annoying). The menus are simply the titles of the programme and as such are a little dull. Notwithstanding this, like most Sony stuff, it is stylish, powerful, versatile and easy to use. I thoroughly recommend it despite the slight niggles mentioned above.
