Good Points: Strange how people differ in opinions, as I bought this machine (Sony RDR-HX510) from Argos it was a replacement item for the one I ordered which was a Samsung DVD-HR730. I find it brilliant, it is easy to use, I have transferred my home movies from Video and DV to DVDs without any problems at all. Superb bit of kit and I will recommend it to anyone.
Bad Points: As yet I am unable to find any.
General comments: Excellent machine and well worth the money. £129.99.

A good machine, but a very big question mark over the quality of the machine.

It is complicated to get all the right settings. To get the most out of the Sony DVD Recorder RDR-HX510 DVD recorder you will have to study the manual very carefully, but it will be worth it in the end.
Recording even EP (extended play) is excellent.

After two weeks of frustration we actually gave up and sent our Sony RDR HX510 DVD recorder back, as we could not get the recorder to record from VHS.

Don't forget that the Sony RDR HX510 DVD recorder is an analogue tuner, so if you have a set top box this thing is not for you. But if you own a traditional TV on a cable system you won't be disappointed.
It is very easy to use, and the hard drive is silent.
The quality of sound is much better than the rivals.
Unfortunately you can't be creative enough with backgrounds and other stuff because there is no choice.
It is reliable and fast for the copying from HDD to DVD, but if you want ...

The Sony DVD Recorder RDR-HX510 is unable to receive 5.1 Surround Sound Inputs
Not 1080i capable only 480i
Produces Simulated Surround Sound w/ Progressive Scan... nice but
* Point: If you think you can record HD w/5.1 to your TiVo - DVR - or straight into the DVD-R and get the same or similar quality - forget about it
Better wait another year.

After a few frustrating hours when setting the Sony RDR HX510 DVD recorder up (due to my own slowness at getting my head around how the various bits of equipment worked together), I am extremely happy with this DVD recorder. It is easy to operate and creates excellent quality recordings. The only function I haven't yet succeeded with is the Synchronised Recording - I can get my freeview box to turn on with the timer function, but the DVD recorder doesn't then kick in. Perhaps the kind people ...

I wonder if anyone can help me, as some seem to have a bit of knowledge here. My grandparents recently bought the Sony RDR HX510 DVD recorder, and they have a Sky+ box too. They were told that they would be able to record from the Sky+ box onto the DVD HDD and burn to DVD, yet nobody has been able to do so yet. They have since contacted a Sony service centre shop who are trying to help, but they haven't got back to them with any information as yet, as Sony themselves said that it wasn't their pr ...

I find the Sony DVD Recorder RDR-HX510 very easy to use. Editing of recordings is simple, as is dubbing from HDD to DVD or vice-versa.
The synchro recording feature is great if you want to record from a set top box.

Just got a Sony RDR HX510 yesterday after owning a Sony RDR-GX3 DVD Recorder for about 1 year. I know it's early days but I am very impressed at the outset. Extremely easy to use. Can't hear the hard disk at all. Can do lots of amazing things like copying DVD to HD and vice versa. Chasing playback (start watching a recording while it's still recording.) Watch this space but so far so good.
