Good Points

The unit is attractive to look at and simple to use through the drop down menus.


Bad Points

Everything else really. The unit was completely unreliable sometimes it would not format disks at all. The unit would spit clean disks out and stop movies half way through even though the disk was perfectly clean.


General Comments

The Sony RDR GX3 is the most tempremental piece of technology I have ever come across. It was unreliable and irritated me constantly by not formatting disks when I needed it to and generally spitting out clean disks halfway through recordings or while halfway through a film. After only 18 months of use the unit broke down and would not load any disks at all. The price of the repair was more than I paid for the unit 18 months previously. I am rather glad as I didnt really want it back anyway. I will not be replacing it with another sony product as a quick search of the web, amazon in particular, shows that this is not the only poorly performing SONY product. Incidently I have had no similar problems with my PIONEER products I wonder why?
