Amazon.com Product Description

Created for first-time users, Sony's RDR-GX300 DVD recorder offers the widest selection of recording and viewing choices available, handling both DVD+RW/+R and DVD-RW/-R discs. It even includes an IR blaster for satellite and cable-box control. Instead of fumbling with 2 remote controls when using the timer function to record your favorite programs, the RDR-GX300's remote lets you select the channel directly from your set-top box(es).

An easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) grants easy recording from broadcast programs via off-air antenna, cable, or satellite receivers. Recording features include chasing playback and simultaneous recording and playback (in DVD-RW VR mode) for a greater recording and viewing flexibility. Chasing playback lets you rewind the recorded material while a program is still recording to view and catch up to the real time recording. Simultaneous recording and playback lets you watch pre-recorded content while recording new content to the same disc.

The RDR-GX300 also features Time Base Correction, pre-frame noise reduction, and pre-video equalizer technologies that rebalance and equalize video content before it's recorded onto a DVD, improving the original source content even before the encoding process begins. In the output phase, the RDR-GX300 recorder combines frame noise reduction, block noise reduction, and video equalizer technologies to produce a rich and textured visual with minimal picture interference from background artifacts or distortion.

Finally, the recorder offers proprietary DVD playback technology called Precision Cinema Progressive, which incorporates Pixel-by-Pixel I/P Conversion technology to augment and balance DVD-video elements. You'll need a high-definition or HD-ready television to appreciate this process. A 12-bit/108 MHz video D/A converter ensures exceptional picture quality for an unforgettable viewing experience, while audio decoding occurs at an amazing 192 kHz/24-bits.

What's in the Box
DVD recorder/player, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and an RF coaxial video cable.

5 out of 5 stars Best dvd PLAYER I have ever had.......2006-12-05

I bought this burner to record my favorite shows off of my DVR instead of having to buy the "show DVDs" that are $60 a season. I quickly grew tired of messing with commercials and just chucked the burnable dvds. So I never use this recorder for... recording. One good thing I remember for the few weeks I used the recorder (on a daily basis btw) was the inimitable "Record PAUSE" button. So important when using a burner for television shows. Also, I remember finding blank dvds was super easy since this burner uses practically every type of burnable dvd (unlike other burners).

But! What makes me love this dvd play more than the invention of dvds itself is how absolutely reliable, complex (yet simple!) and smart it is. It is like the "Super DVD Player!" I've had maybe 4 or 5 other players since dvds became popular and this Sony player has every option, every advantage, every idea I could want.

After over a year together, I love this player!

I bought this item 5/06/06 from circuit city. It was an open box item. I paid about $90. bucks for it. Let me first say that i bought a panasonic a couple of years ago for about $500. It wouldnt record on all formats and finally the slot wouldnt even open to load disk any more. I pawned it. This unit RDRGX300 is remarkable. I did mention it was an open box right? It works flawlessly. I dont even have the instructions but when youve worked with a few of them, the features are pretty simple to figure out. I have no problems and i figure i'll have this for a few years.

1 out of 5 stars After 19 months, will not play any disc........2006-05-20

I bought this unit in Oct. 2004. Until now I couldn't have been happier. Now, the unit will not play any disc - not the movies it recorded and not the store bought titles. However, I have had problems with the Sony blank CD-Rs I bought. 5 out of 25 were bad, and the unit messed up the recording. The next blank set of 25 I purchesed were Phillips. Only one out of 25 were bad. Now, I wonder if it was the unit instead of the discs.

1 out of 5 stars An Expensive Paper Weight.......2006-03-11

Don't buy SONY! After owning this product for little over a year, it fails to read any disk. All disks, commercial, -r, -rw,+rw, even disks it has created on it's own, generate the "disk error" message. Brand new disks (straight from the packaging) even generate this message now. Sony was uninterested in assisting me, simply telling me to send the unit in, at my cost and they would let me know what it will cost for repairs. Best case scenario was over $120.00 plus shipping. Costs could be $300.00 or more. Or course then they could keep the paperweight and I could tell them not to repair it. Don't take my word for it, before you buy Sony, google "Sony disk error" and see how many hits you get. The most knowledgeable claim the problem is a faulty laser assembly, which Sony is aware of but refuses to make right. I realize things do not last forever, but modern electronic equipment should function longer than 18months. I don't see myself ever purchasing another Sony product.

3 out of 5 stars Sony dvd recorder gx315.......2006-01-15

I have an extensive collection of old vhs tapes I wanted to convert to digital on dvd's. some are copy protected but i bought a video enhancer that allows you to by pass the protection not legal on rented vhs tapes i know that but sometimes it will copy and other times it won't copy.? jus stops in 8 seconds then might 17 minutes and stop again every few seconds etc hey I paid lots of money over the years for the vhs tapes I bought and seems sad I can't keep them and update them to digital aftre spending all that money. And the sony has the slowest fast foward I ever seen. maybe 8x terrible on our own home made movies where there is no chapters to jump to.
