Sony's RDR-GX7 DVD Recorder is an exciting product that takes advantage of recordable DVD (DVD-RW and DVD+RW) as well as write-once DVD-R discs. The unit is designed to function similarly to a VCR, but with far more capabilities and ease of use. The built-in NTSC TV tuner records programs with the simplicity of a conventional VCR and includes VCR Plus+. Channel information as well as time and date are stored automatically for each recording.

Cons: Not a practical VCR replacement. Oversize depth dimension.

Highly recommended because it is the best consumer DVD recorder for archiving currently made. Read More

Great build quality and slick, tweakable menus.

Author's Rating: Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Build quality
Appearance
IDE-based DVD recording drive
Interface

Cons: Alfa Romeo-esque charms ("sex appeal" with so-so reliability)
Recording drive will be unreliable.
No EPG (Why?)

Bottom Line:
The RDR-GX7 is a great DVD recorder with plenty of tweakable options and a menu that puts modern DVD recorders to shame.  Drive reliability is a concern.
