5 Reviews for Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder
Marvellous - don't hesitate - 13 Mar 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful.
Looks great - plays great - records brilliantly.
Bought this to replace a Philips - and it's perfect. Records onto any old DVD+ or DVD- (even cheapo ones from Lidl!), replays at fantastic quality AND upscales to 1080p! Not listed as multiregion, but still seems to play my few US discs quite happily. Also plays discs made on my PC without complaint. Looks the business, too, in moody black!
Even broadcast output from a digibox looks better played through this machine. However, the Sony wants to be the last thing in the chain - ie plug the digibox (or whatever) into the Sony, and then the Sony into the TV. (My chain goes VCR > digibox 1 > digibox 2 > Sony GX350 > telly - and works a treat.)
At this price you're not going to get a digital tuner. (Even if you did you'd still only be able to record one thing - a twin tuner PVR would be better.) But recording quality on the Sony GX350 is indistinguishable from the original - even at 2.5 hour length. In fact, recording and playback quality are both absolutely marvellous.
Complaints? Well, the manual seems a little over-complicated (110 pages!). And as someone has said before, the on-screen instructions are in a tiny font. Editing functions are limited to DVD- discs. But for 99 quid, who's quibbling?
First class.
Difficulty in setting up with Sky HD - 10 Mar 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful.
I bought this to do 1 thing, which is to empty my full Sky HD hard drive, I know it doesn't record in HD, as yet nothing commercially available will. No all I wanted to was to put the 6 recorded Rugby league games onto their own discs. I have an AV amp at the heart of my system, I have the SKY HD box and this recorder feeding into that via HDMI and an HDMI from AV Amp to the Plasma TV, working a treat. Now I wanted to connect the recorder side of things via scart, firstly no signal at all coming into the recorder, that was the SKY box output setting, sorted, then when I did eventually get a picture its about one third the size of my plasma with no sound at all. This I assumed was the very expensive RGB Scart I used which I suspect is picture only, add an audio lead I thought, the problem is there is no audio input on this Sony other than the decoder/line in scart. So I have had to buy a second fully wired scart, but still when I look at the picture through this scart it is still reduced in size to the middle of the plasma. Frustrating!! so in terms of playing DVD's it is good, trying to get recordings from the Sky HD box to it though is a different matter.
Fantastic quality, but real pity no integrated digital tuner. - 02 Mar 2008

I read the reviews already posted for this product before I purchased it from Amazon. I have to agree with all of the positive feedback and would say that watching a DVD on this recorder is an absolutely tremendous experience.
However, and it's quite a big 'however', I find it pretty useless for a DVD Recorder, being more akin to an old VCR than a DVD Player, not to have a built-in digital tuner. Apparently you can download digital channels from a Freeview equipped telly, but I haven't been able to yet and when I can, I will only be able to record digital output when the TV is on. In other words, I won't be able to do timer recordings unless the TV is on.
Bearing in mind the fact that the analogue signal will be turned off over the next couple of years in the UK, I think the lack of an integrated digital tuner is pretty lousy.
That said, if you have Sky or a digital set-top box, I wouldn't think the issues I'm having would be relevant.
Asides from this, as indicated above I can't see how a Blu Ray could be any more crisp than the picture quality provided by the upscaling on this machine.
Worth every penny - 29 Jan 2008

Excellent quality. Arrived promptly. Easy to setup. Recording within the hour. Used DVD-RW. HQ setting is excellent although disks only last an hour. Took disk straight from SONY and played on Denon with no finalising required. Ace. N.B. For best quality (up to 2 hours) get some Dual Layer DVD-RW. May need a hack for multiregion.
Wow! You can see the difference! - 15 Jan 2008

This is a great peice of kit. It's cheap, easy to use and the difference the upscaling makes to the image quality is quite remarkable. I use it through a SONY 37" LCD HD TV.
I watched Disney's Cars and the picture quality is quite stunning. So good in fact that I can't see how HD could improve upon the picture this little baby produces. The upscaling does seem to make a noticable difference.
However, you must use an HDMI cable to get the benefit of the upscaling - a SCART cable won't cut it.
Set up is quite easy and the upscaling option defaults as standard to 1080i, so you don't have to do anything to get a great picture.
The manual is very good and you can use the remote control to control the TV - one less remote to sit on!
The only down side of this product is the small and not always easy to read display. Other than that, highly recommended - it's a bargain.
