Sony RDR-VXD655

$200.00 Released July, 2007

The Pros:Upscaling works well - even on old VHS tapes. 8 different DVD recording qualities - can fit up to 8 hours of content on a single disc. Built-in digital converter - useful for those with analog television sets.

The Cons:Lacks 1080p support - 720p or 1080i only. Poorly designed remote control - buttons require extra pressure to activate. Channel auto scan takes a long time when used with digital channels.

The Sony RDR-VX655 is a high-end DVD recorder and VHS combo designed for average consumers looking to record content onto DVD discs without all kinds of advanced features. The VX655 features two unique one touch dubbing and one touch recording features which allows users to copy content directly to a DVD or to a VHS tape quickly and conveniently.
