Sony RDR-GX360

$230.00 Released April, 2008

The Pros:Easy to use for basic tasks, controls are all simple and obvious. Setup is very plug-and-play, not much to it. Picture is clear and sharp when using the right settings.

The Cons:Can overheat and begin to fail if not properly ventilated. Doesn't upscale output to anything approaching HD. Won't record a lot of programs due to copyright protection.

The Sony RDR-GX360 is a mid-grade single tray DVD recorder designed for average consumers looking to record content onto DVD discs without all kinds of advanced features. The GX360 features standard video upscaling to 1080p/1080i/720p HD resolution for enhanced picture quality on a high definition television.
