Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good.... but wait till you try to copy your discs Comment: I thought this was a good replacement for my Panasonic machines (which have both developed some weird faults and will not record on non RAM discs) until I tried to duplicate a DVD-R I made on the Sony on my PC. Yes, Ashampoo says it has copied it and the vob files etc are all there, but the copy will not play on the Panasonic or PC. I have also tried to rip the files of Sony made DVDs using DVDFab (which worked fine on Panasonic discs) so I can post my home vids of bands on YouTube. No luck. I found an alternative ripper but that's another 30 quid. A look around the web told me others had similar problems. It's something to do with Sony's filing system which dislikes your making back up copies of your DIY home clips etc. It makes me worry about what happens when this model dies and I can't play all these discs. That should be OK because it's more a matter of the inability to copy rather than playback. Other than that there's much to commend this well-priced machine. Customer Rating: Summary: built like a battleship Comment: If you have a PVR then this model is ideal to save copies onto DVD. When you press record the front panel lights up and it counts the minuets so at least you can see its doing something. It also has a on screen display showing what disk is in and how many minuets are left It behaves more like a conventional VHS Recorder so you have complete control of everything. its well worth the £ 80 It has a analogue tuner but I have already hooked it up to one of my spare Freeview units although it would be highly unusual if I watched anything though it as I own three PVR's. Its built like a battleship and it has every conceivable input/output you would ever need . The remote control is a delight to use. My Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder was Multiregion straight out the box. I did consider for a few seconds buying a combined PVR and DVD Recorder but quality ones are very expensive far better buying a separate PVR and this excellent machine. I had to use a powerful torch as it was impossible to tell if the back fan was working or not - which it was but its so quiet you just cant tell its spinning. Go on its the best £ 80 you will spend. Customer Rating: Summary: Sony Quality Comment: I have bought this to link to my new Virgin V box. The setup is quite easy, it searches for TV signals and although the original order had a weak chaneel 4 at position 4 it is easy enough to change the positions. The system seems to recognise and work with a range of DVD formats even the non branded ones I have used to archive old VHS tapes. The display on the front is too dim to be of any use from your armchair but this does not detract. There is a fairly audible fan when recording but not disturbing. Good product! Customer Rating: Summary: Over the moon Comment: The last DVD recorder I had was a philips model boiught second hand. It had a mind of its own, not recording sometimes and insisting most of the discs I purchased for it were faulty (even though my neighbour never had a problems with discs from the same store) typically, as soon as the 3 month warranty ran out the drawer refused to open, lol. This new recorder is in a different class. the menu is so easy to use and the thoumbnails all individually play the scene in minature so you have a much better idea of what you recorded earlier. It looks terrific and the picture is far improved from my old player. Timer record is easy peasy to set up and I have yet to take advantage of the HD cable picture upscaler thingy. So far so good though. Never again will I go for cheap and nasty, but cheap and cheerful from now on. 5 out of 5, brilliant. Customer Rating: Summary: Super DVD Recorder Comment: Sony RDRGX350B DVD RecorderI'm very pleased with the quality of this recorder and of the clarity of the pictures from it. I bought it mainly to make permanent recordings off the hard drive of a Humax PVR which it does very simply at the touch of a couple of buttons. I can also record from video tape to DVD now. The only slightly difficult bit was sorting out how to connect it up using one of the methods given in the informative manual. I now need to learn the difference between all the numerous DVD formats!
