Setting the record straight.

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: A fair VCR replacement.
Review: After seeing so many complaints, I knew I had to post and set the record straight on this DVD recorder. I purchased this machine used about eight months ago, so I have a fair bit of experience with it. I have also used several other similar devices...

Expensive for such a mixed bag

Date of Review:  May 1, 2007
Review: The titleing using the remote is a pain in the neck. The discs take nigh on to forever before they "load" for playback.

Quality, however is decent, although I learned the hard way you can't record on any DVD's except Sony DVD's, which is...

Review: I've been using the Sony RDR-GX315 for 5 months now and it's fine. Yes, the interface and pushing through all the options is a pain in the arss but the DVDs do play in most players, and the price is amazing (I go back to the days when I paid $800 to...

Very disappointed

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2008
Review: I have had nothing but problems with this machine.
1) Does not record cable or satellite programs that are copy-protected. So some of your favorite programs you watch or want to record and watch later may not record at all.
2) If you do...

Disappointing

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2005
Review: I bought this DVD recorder because of its advertised compatibility - I wanted to record DVDs and send them to my kids in the service. My hope was that I could record from the cable box to the GX315 and dupe the resulting DVD on a computer. I should...

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2005
Review: Just got this recorder. It looks kind of flimsy, not the quality and feel you would expect from Sony products.

Upon trying to connect it, I discovered that there is NO S-VIDEO INPUT on the back panel!!!! This is totally asinine!! I went...

An Update

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2005
Review: I have had this unit for a couple of months now. I have recorded on DVD RW, DVD R, DVD-R without any issues: not a single disc failure.

Does NOT Record Movies from Cable or Satellite

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2005
Review: I bought this as a VCR replacement. Much to my complete amazement, every time I tried to copy a movie from DirecTv I got a message saying that the information was copyrighted.

It never even occurred to me that one could not record off the...

Bad picture quality, won't record movies off of satellite

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2006
Review: I needed to replace a $99 Apex DVD recorder and wanted something fairly cheap to replace it until the HD-DVD recorders hit the market. Well, this Sony seemed to be a decent unit for the price.

I hooked it up and was totally disappointed by...
