Sony RDR-GX300 DVD recorder

Date Published: 2/7/08

The Sony RDR-GX300 is a simple-to-use DVD recorder that offers a wide variety of DVD recording and playback options, making it ideal for the first-time user or technical novice. The unit records to DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, and it can also play back VCD, CD-R/RW, and MP3-encoded CD. The straightforward graphical interface is simple to navigate and makes recording TV shows from cable, satellite, or regular broadcast antenna a breeze. The VCR Plus+ mode enables you to easily make timed recordings, just as you would with a regular VCR. Unlike a regular VCR, however, the RDR-GX300 also allows you to simultaneously record and play back material. You can watch the beginning of a program while the end is still being recorded, or you can watch one show recorded to disc while recording another to the same disc. Progressive scan output delivers clean, detailed pictures to a digital television with minimal jagged edges or artifact distortion.
