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. Less
Dust off your VHS tapes and enjoy when you add this DVD recorder/VCR to your entertainment center. The HDMI interface provides faithful digital connections to your other A/V components.

Sony RDR-GX7 DVD Recorder / Player

byorioles35 Nov 26, 2003
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Move your VHS tapes to DVD...permanently! Great instruction manual.
Cons Somewhat pricey, can be difficult to setup
Recommended it? Yes

Following my successful conversion of cassette tapes to CD-R TDK VeloCD CD-RW burner, my next project was to convert all my VHS tapes and camcorder tapes to DVD format. Any recordable tape will degrade over time and there's also the concern of a tape getting eaten by the player, ruining it... Read full review »

I picked up the Sony RDR-GX7 at a local electronics retailer this past August for nearly $100, as this was old display stock that sat around since it was released, back in 2003.  No one bit on it for quite a while, so I did - they had several different recorders for the same price.

A solid combo dvd recorder/vcr

byapril54 May 23, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A compact combo that does +DL recording exceptionally well.
Cons No flexible record mode and limited support for +rw media.
Recommended it? Yes

This unit has a ATSC tuner for high definition TV, a NTSC tuner for standard broadcast, and a QAM tuner for receiving unencrypted, high definition TV from basic analog cable. Cable companies must provide free local HD channels on basic analog cable by law apparently. It can record to either the vcr... Read full review »

Pros Nice Features and worked great!(until it broke)
Cons It is broke.
Recommended it? No

I wish that I could say that this is a great product and that I'm very pleased, but unfortunately I'm not.

It's a shame to hear that these devices are prone to locking up, and unfortunately, I'm also victim of a bad unit.

I'm not pleased about that. This is the first LG product... Read full review »
