The Sony RDR-GX300 could record programs in 16:9 on DVD-RW and DVD-R type discs via the “DVD Rec Picture Size” setting. The manual for the RDR-GX315 makes no mention of this setting. Can anyone help uncover the truth here? I am waiting on pins and needles to get one once I make sure!!

Worst sony product i’ve ever bought!
1. Terrible picture at all speed levels. (I own a trinatron TV which I like)
2. I’ve made several “coasters” as well to borrow from a previous review.
3. Remote stinks, doesn’t work half the time.
4. Annoying start up time.
It’s gotta go, very dissapointing.

YOU READ THE BOOK FIRST, UNLIKE I DIDN’T AND AFTER FINALLY READING THE DIRECTIONS IT WORKS GREAT. I WOULD SUGGEST ORDERING A SIMA CT-2.

I’ve owned this unit now for 6 months and never had a problem yet. I can’t understand all the negative reviews here. If you read the entire owner’s manual and take time to use it you should have no problems.

The Sony RDRGX315 DVD Recorder needs to be hooked up to a cable/sat box to operate. I have cable but no box. Without the box, you cannot view the DVDs nor can you switch from TV to DVD. Very bad design flaw. If you purchase one, look at page 12 for install notes. I returned it.
