Looks the business.
Fantastic quality recording and playback.
Intuitive and very easy to use.
"Easy Setup" is exactly that.
Great feature list.
Dual disc compatability - future-proofing.
i-Link DV-In socket (great for digicams).

General Comments

The Sony RDR-GX7 is Sony's flagship DVD Recorder and is pricier than other models available; but the extensive feature list and the dual compatability make it worth the extra.

Its a dream to set-up - the machine does all the work. Using it is simplicity itself and the quality of recording and playback is great.

Also, the on-screen information is very clear and well-presented, which makes overall use easy and uncomplicated.

The i-Link jack makes it very easy to use to record from a digital video camera and there are extensive editing functions available.

    Well, I don't know so much...I evaluated a number of different units, Pioneer went belly up on me 3 weeks after we bought it, but the two Sony's we bought at the same time....ahhh now that's heaven on earth!

    Bought this product recently. Easy to set up. Excellent quality from TV recordings and user friendly. Expensive though. However, I have not yet got the machine to read any DVD's burned on my computer, no matter what programme I have used to do it. Can anyone help with this before I go completely mad? Thank you.

    To the person stating they had not had the Sony RDR-GX7 to play any DVD burnt on the computer, please check your manual. It states in there that any DVD made on a PC will be erased when trying to play on the unit. JB
