Sony RDR-GX300 DVD Recorder
H8L8
This was my first DVD recorder purchase and I was concerned with compatibility, ease of use, and reliability.  The Sony feature of all 4 formats sets your mind at ease if you're not a veteran.  The instructions are straightforward and the setup is pretty easy.  I recommend a test disk to play with to get your routine down. <br /> <br />Sony is always a safe buy and this unit is no exception.
