    Good Points: Ease of use
    Quality


    Bad Points: Instruction booklet could be just that little bit clearer in some parts. For the non-technophobe, these systems can be a little daunting, and very clear simple instructions are required.


    General comments: I searched for a DVD HDD recorder for a while, but expecting to purchase a Sony in the end, just for their usual quality. I have not been disappointed with the Sony RDR-HX910. The reviewer ads1 has a problem and it's not with the machine. I can easily record one programme (via the recorders in-built digital tuner) whilst watching a different programme (via the TV in-built digital tuner). Is it the Sky set up that prevents viewing one program and recording another? My son has Sky and has this problem, and I wonder if it is the setup that causes it; I am not a technophobe so will not get into details. With my set up, I can watch one programme on TV (digital or analogue), record a different one on the DVD recorder, and record a different one again on my VCR (analogue only). It all depends on the number of TV tuners you have in the system. One tuner can only do one thing at a time!

    Anyway, the Sony RDR-HXD910 does exactly what I want and more, and the 250Gb hard disk saves more than enough for my use, and any excess can always be recorded to DVD, which is almost effortless.

    A great machine!

    Overall, after having used the majority of the Sony RDR-HX910 DVD recorder's functions, I was greatly disappointed.

    I use a pretty high spec Bang & Olufsen home cinema system, and I wanted a decent pvr to match. I decided to get a DVD recorder, as this seems to be the best value option (as opposed to just a hard disk pvr).

    At first I was greatly impressed with the ease of use, but after closer inspection there was one problem which turns out to be quite a major problem! The recorder doesn ...

    I have been using the Sony RDR-HX910 DVD recorder for a while, and I have already tried all of the functions. THE BEST thing is that it is very easy to use. I have used almost all of the functions without a manual.
    It offers very high quality picture and sound, and has a lot of AV IN's and OUT's.

    The bad points are not that bad, but should be implemented.

    This is a product I would recommend to anyone.

    Sony products are usually highly respected throughout the A/V world simply because they are probably the greatest A/V company on this planet. They have the perfect balance between quality and price in a world where you only get what you pay for. And so it is for the RDR-HX910. You pay a bit more for this one but you get a unit which is made to please, easy to use and does an awesome job of producing top quality home video on a disc. It has a mountain of different input/output connectors - Scart, ...
