Sony RDRHX715 DVD Recorder
Hard Disk Recorder not a DVD Recorder
Sony decided that it didn't have to change anything from its hard disk recorders. Just slap in a DVD Recorder that will read/write to all formats and they'll sell like hotcakes. They will only find out the issues when they get home. <br /> <br />The other review is accurate in all respects. It works pretty well for many things but what is the point of getting a DVD RECORDER if it won't write chapters from the hard disk to any DVD in mode that plays in DVD players? <br /> <br />I have a digital videor recorder from my cable company. This is a reasonable replacement if you get the TV Guide On Screen to work. It is a real pain. <br /> <br />I bought this to transfer and edit my old VHS videos and my DV-CAM videos of family. The transfers are pretty good. I edited them on the hard disk to look nice even though the tools are really clunky. Took me many hours. Then when I tried to transfer the final product, just the videos and the marks for each scene, this expensive recorder could not even do that. I spent an hour trying to figure out what I did wrong until I called support. They told me that this recorder won't record any chapter marks to a DVD in video mode. WHY IS SONY CALLING THIS A DVD RECORDER??? <br /> <br />This is the third Sony product I have bought which is typical. All of them are old models with a brand new paint job. Sony sucks.
