Good Points

WHEN IT WORKS the Sony RDR-HXD710 is an excellent machine, easy to use, almost intuitive (ie common sense no need to refer to manual) producing good recordings after editing out unwanted material High speed dubbing was useful.


Bad Points

Unreliable, poor build quality My second Sony 710 machine packed up after 18 months of light use. I believe that the DVD writer unit has filed but is it worth repairing.


General Comments

Of all my DVD recorders the Sony 710 was the easiest to use for recording and editing. I also have Toshiba XS30 XV48, JVC MV1 and MX1, Pioneer, 5100 Yamaha, Hitachi etc recorders
Sadly the second Sony RDR-HXD710 suffered from the same poor quality as my JVC MX1 and failed in its second year - neither machines had seen a lot of use. I was foolish enough to try and repair the JVC spending £100 at official repairer - only to find they had NOT repair it - so I will not be throwing good money after bad trying to repair the 710
