Sony RDR-GX355 Tunerless DVD Recorder |
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Summary: do not purchase This!!
Comments: This unit will not allow you to record movies, anything from HBO, it simpy isn't worth anything. There has to be a solution, however so far I haven't been able to record much at all.
Sorry my review is so short, I see many others have the same concerns as I, I just wanted to add my "voice".

Summary: Easy to use and reliable
Comments: I have had this DVD player/recorder for 7 months now and I haven't encountered any of the problems that others here have. The1I ordered was new, not refurbished, so that may have helped.
It's easy to set up and easy to use, a big improvement over the Panasonic DVD player/recorder I brought this to replace. I use mine mainly to play DVDs and to transfer old VCR tapes to DVD so thebuilt in copy protection hasn't been an issue for me. If you want to record programs off broadcast or cable that have an anti-copy signal or download similarly protected shows off a Tivo be warned: this recorder will not work for you.
however if, like me, you are looking for a solid, great quality DVD player that will help you get rid of alot of old VCR tapes you have laying around, this is a decently priced option. |

Summary: Sony refurbished GX330 DVD Recorder
Comments: NEVER,and I mean never, order a refurbished DVD recorder from Sony. Just got mine last week. 2 big problem. 1st, when I opened the manual I discovered it was a copy of a copy of a copy. The quick start guide was unreabable. The large booklet was a little better. It took only 2 of us to read it. The worst thing was the remote control. It was the wrong one. The only thing it would do was turn it off and on, and open the tray. I could not get any signal whatever to the tv. Trying to read the manual I discovered I needed to set the input line source. however, you guessed it, that needed to be done with the remote. After 2 days I called Sony customer service. The 1st lady I talked to said the book was not available, and she did not think the remote was availabe. She sent me to another person, who got mad and hung up on me. I called again and another person said she needed to take the info and send me another remote and book, however I couldn't get for another 10 days. I told he to forget it and I wanted to send the unit back. She sent me to another person in some other country who said I had to pay to send it back. ( I think, hard to understand). I told her no, you messed up the order, you pay the shipping. Got sent to anothet person who said I needed to get a E-number, and said to call the nex day because they were busy. Called the next day and requested an E-number. He said he coudn't do that. He needed to hear the entire story again. Half way thru the story, he got mad and hung up. Called again and got a person who spoke english. He took the info and gave me an E-number. Got sent to another person who wanted to know the reason why I wanted to send it back. Then and only then did I get an ok to send it back.
This may be a fine DVD Recorder, however I never found out. Sony is the worst company to purchase anything from. Do not expect any customer support. None of the people I talked to could care less. |
