Sony's RDR-GX330 DVD Recorder - What? No Pause Button?

byBigJack Jan 6, 2008
84 Helpfuls 85 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent picture quality, "chase" playback, editing function
Cons No pause button
Recommended it? Yes

I still have a VCR. It sits atop the TV in my bedroom. Once in a while, I'll use it to watch an old home movie or a sports event I felt was worthy of being saved to video in the 1980's. The VCR got phased out in stages – first, we started buying movies on DVD, then we starting renting movies on... Read full review »

I spent weeks trying to find a DVD recorder, and finally decided on the DVD-VR330. I'm very happy with the operation of this unit. I wanted to transfer our old VHS home videos to DVD, and the process is very easy, and it works very well.

Returned THREE faulty units

bybillbens Nov 12, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Circuit City and Best Buy return/exchange policy
Cons Samsung quality control
Recommended it? No

The first unit was bought at Circuit City and returned because it significantly degraded the signal quality from our cable TV service. Several months later, Best Buy had the DVD-VR330 on sale so we thought we would give it a second try. There was no signal quality issues with the second unit but it... Read full review »
