    Good Points: EPG is easy to useSupport for all major DVD formatsGood set of connections (pre-HDMI)

    Bad Points: No delete on EPG for duplicate channelsStarted to intermittently freeze just outside warranty

    General comments: The Sony RDR GXD500 would be a good product if it didn't start to freeze, Sony don't look like they will issue a software upgrade to fix :-(

    The Sony RDR GXD500 has been the 2nd Sony product that has packed in just after warranty expires. I thought that by buying a good make and paying extra would give quality. NEVER AGAIN

    Not only does the Sony RDR GXD500 constantly freeze up, but it refuses to play certain disks. It has a fast view and rewind view that only works on 3 settings. Setting one is just faster than normal viewing. Setting 2 is not quite double speed. Setting 3 is 50million times faster and will show random screen shots instead of playing them in a sequence. It is impossible to see or find any part of the dvd you want to watch. I paid £500 for this brand new. To be honest it has put me off sony. ...

    Had to be returned under warranty, took 4 months to get it back, Sony would not extend the warranty to cover the time they had it. Since then it has been "iffy", now refuses to respond to either the remote or the front panel buttons. I am not going to but another Sony, unlike other "quality" manufacturers they don,t seem to care...

    Normally I would say a excellent machine except when the fault appears, which to say the least, is intermittent and therfore you can not trust it.

    SONY: Try and buy 2x DVD-RW disks. So easy to get 4x speed (or faster) disks but the Sony RDR GXD500 dvd recorder cannot cope with them. All the fancy DVD+RW features of my old Philips DVD Recorder are NOT SUPPORTED on this machine. Consider yourselves sacked SONY, as I move to another manufacturer, taking friends and family with me to a new manufacturer of choice!

    I have waited & waited to move into the world of DVD recording under the telly, but now I have, what a joy. I have a built in Freeview Sony TV, so now I can watch one Freeview station while recording the other! Great I am so impressed with this unit, I have bought one for my parents because they will find it simple to use & better than their old VCR.

    The Sony RDR GXD500 is the first digital television item I've ever owned. Generally the build quality of the item is very good but learning to "drive" it took me three or four days and even now have not mastered all the features. The thing that really upset me was that for an item so expensive (circa £300.00) it was not possible to receive subscription programmes such as Discovery Channel from Topup TV as it it did not have the requisite card slot and there was no way of attaching an ...
