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.

Consumers with large VHS collections can now make digital archives of their favorite content with Sony's new DVD Recorder/VCR combo, the RDR-VX500. Offering format flexibility with DVD+RW/+R/-RW/-R recording compatibility and easy bi-direction dubbing from VCR to DVD recorder, sharing and archiving memories and onto a digital format has never been more convenient. In addition, it allows for DV/Digital8 Camcorder tapes to transfer onto DVD discs via an i.LINK connection. Less

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...

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.

I received the Sony RDR-VX500 VCR and DVD recorder as a Christmas gift back in 2005. Since then, I have recorded dozens of DVDs both from VHS tapes and from live programming with DirecTV.
This combo is very easy to set up, and the remote very intuitive. The only shortcoming I found is...
