Beware of Copy Protection

 

Beware of Copy Protection

This Sony RDR-GX355 recorder occasionally refuses to record TV programs because it thinks the program is copywrited. However, my other recorders (Funai, Panasonic, and Toshiba) will record the identical signal Sony refused. So, I think Sony has made...

VERY GOOD UNIT - works perfectly and does what it's supposed to do.

The unit has been working great for about 9 months now, making copies of our old 8mm family tapes onto DVDs. Couldn't be easier to use: insert a DVD, format it (takes about 1 minute or less) and press RECORD. I set mine to put AUTO CHAPTERS every...

GREAT DEAL IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING !!! :)

 

GREAT DEAL IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING !!! :)

OK, here's my bottom line. You need a set-top box for this recorder. The video quality is very good, clearly better than my Liteon (dull color) and slightly inferior to my Panasonic (great color). I luv the multiple recording time options-minimizes...

Don't wast your money of Sony RDR-GX355

This unit was a waste of money. It boasts big features and has wonderful quality of video and audio, when it works that is. Forget watching a two hour movie on it. About 90 minutes into the movie it starts to pause and break up because it is over...

Don't Buy This!

 

Don't Buy This!

This unit will not allow you to record movies, anything from HBO, it simpy isn't worth anything. There has to be a solution, but so far I haven't been able to record much at all. Sorry my review is so short, I see many others have the same concerns as...

Easy to use and reliable

 

Easy to use and reliable

I've had this DVD player/recorder for 7 months now and I haven't encountered any of the problems that others here have. The one I ordered was new, not refurbished, so that may have helped. It's easy to set up and easy to use, a big improvement over the...

Broken down after 4 months. wont read any disks

I was pretty happy with it - while it worked. After 4 months it stopped reading disks. Spits them all out and says disk error.

Not for me

 

"I bought this product because I trust and value the Sony name, but this isn't the product for me. I'm unable to explain how it performed because it was not explained to me upon purchase that it could not be used with a direct cable hook-up. Sadly I'm...

You need a cable box?
