Sony RDRHX715 DVD Recorder
This unit is for the experienced user
I have to agree with the reviews that are positive.  If you are inexperienced or a novice this unit may not be for you.  As with any item as you get into a higher price range you get more bells and whisles which mean you need some experience.    Once I figured out some of the basic controls, primarily manual programming I was ready to go.    If you use the TV Guide for programming be aware the beginning or ending of your programs may be chopped since it appears there is no 1 or 2 minute buffer periods. After selecting a show using the TV Guide feature you can adjust the start and end times.    I am still old school and like to do manual programming.  At least I get the entire show.
