    Good Points: It Recorded with Great sound and video.


    Bad Points: 3 Times then died.


    General comments: My Sony RDR GX7 worked really well the last time I used it. Its just been sitting for about three years now and I just got it out ,and the 1st disk I put in there got jammed. That Lead me here. I agree with the previous4 reviews on this recorder. There are only a few hard to use features and the input output choices are endless. There's even some in the front of this one.

    Sony has one of those names attached to it, much like mercedes and bmw. It's the name which means quality and while this is true, you're soon find that there are other players on the market which do the same thing but for a fraction of the cost.

    However what the Sony RDR-GX7 does it does well, it has the looks that show a elegant but classy product. Most DVD recorders are slightly confusing to get to grips with, those who say it's a doodle lie, you have to choose the quality, the right disc ...

    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 dig ...
