Good Points
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).
Bad Points
Haven't found any yet..
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.

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

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.

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!
