75% of new retail DVD's without problems (which include repeated freezing & stuttering). 2) Records & plays back DVD-R & DVD+R discs w/o issue. 3) DVD-RW & particularly DVD+RW discs (Sony discs!) ... well, good luck. from Amazon.com The Sony RDR-GXD455 is just what I needed. It sets up easily and is intuitive in its use. from Amazon.com I purchased a Sony DVD-GXD455 when they first came out. Because it is DVD recording HD, it converts to SD upconvert. from Amazon.com Was hoping this to be the best of DVD recorders but forget it because remote buttons are so small some require a pen to hit them & the unit doesn't respond especially during title list and sent unit back from frustration so maybe you won't have this trouble but Sony usually produce higher quality or maybe somebody else made this one & they put there name on it - I bought from Crutchfield and great customer service to return unit!! from Amazon.com I intended to replace my VCR's with DVD recorders to be able to record HD programs. So I ran some experiments with the intent of finding what DVD speed matched the VCR at low and high speeds. But this Sony recorder was so bad that I never got that far. First I tuned both units and also the television to the same analog channel (from antenna). from Amazon.com The digital tuner performs better than the one in my HP LCD HDTV. I have not encountered any copyright protection problems or experienced any of the other issues that previous reviewers have complained about. This unit was purchased to replace my SONY RDR-GX315 which cost about $350. For just over $200, the RDR-GXD455 is an excellent choice. from Amazon.com I found easiest to set up and use compared to other recorders. It's no wonder Sony is the Rolls Royce of Home Electronics. from Amazon.com Hey the title tells the story dose it not? When you you first look at the deck it seems to be designed well. But of course to well, it will not record your old VHS theatrical movies because Sony has the protection written into it. Also it runs about as slow as a computer from the early 90's. from Amazon.com will not record movie channels. otherwise is good productSony RDR-GXD455 Single Deck DVD Recorder with Built In HD Tuner from Amazon.com well if you have a lot of other Sony equluipment. The remote turns on other Sony equipment. from Amazon.com
