Sony RDR-HXD860 review

 

Can Series Recording lift this Sony from the masses?

Series Recording ; Excellent picture quality

Only one digital tuner and no analogue

It's certainly not perfect but it's a step in the right direction for Sony

Sony takes Freeview to the next level with a HDD DVD recorder that can automatically records all of the programmes in a series at the push of a button. It's not quite Sky, but it's getting there

Series Recording, Excellent picture quality

Only one digital tuner and no analogue

It's certainly not perfect but it's a step in the right direction for Sony

Ease of use and very good choice of recording speed.

Titling of recordings is a bit tedious.

Just quality.

 

As soon as you take this Sony RDRHXD860S DVD recorder out of the box you realise it's a quality bit of kit. I've had mine 2 weeks...
