Sony RDR-GX7 DVD Recorder
Do not buy freezes!!!!!!!!
I bought this recorder because of the features and the ability to record in -RW VR mode, which means I do not have to finalize the disc and can play this recorded disk in any of my other DVD Players.  Well only in the -RW VR mode whatever you have recorded, when you play it back it ALWAYS FREEZES on the very last frame of the playback and the only way to stop it is to manually push stop, the pause light comes on and it is stuck.  I called Sony tech support 3 different times and got as high as a 4th level technician, and no one could explain it.  I took the machine back to best buy and the new machine did the same thing, took it back and my 3rd machine did the same thing, took it back and best buy managers took their floor model and recorded 10 seconds in the -RW VR mode and sure enough it freezes too.  I did not want this to happen because if you happen to fall asleep while watching something you have recorded (as sometimes I do) then it is frozen on your screen at the end which can fog the lens in the player and cause ghosting to your TV.  I am still looking at other recorders now.  Any suggestions????
