 Poor Sony Product & Very poor Company Support December 11, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am on my third machine, none of which have been any good. The third machine
received July 2007 has been back to the authorised repairer five times. In twelve months I have less than 3 months use out of it. The main problem was the machine switching on and off as per other reviews. The repairers have replaced many parts and I am currently waiting for the repairer to receive a
printed circuit board to rectify the problem. I have no faith that this will completely solve the problem. DO NOT expect any help or consideration from
the Customer Service section of SONY UK. The machine has been with the repairer since 26 October 2007 and is still there now. BUY one at your peril
prepare to be disappointed.
Common fault of switching its self off October 11, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Have had exactly same experience as others, had machine for 5 months now turns its self on and off every few seconds.
2 friends bought same machine and had same problem.
Contact Sony 08705 111999 and they will give you name of nearest Sony repair firm, who will repair if within 12 month warranty.
Hope this helps, frankly dissappointed that this recognised common fault does not mean an automatic replacement from manufacturers.
 O.K. if you have never used a Humax September 15, 2007

Potentially excellent combination of upscaling dvd player, dvd writer and freeview HDD recorder to go with my new sony LCD but I could not stand the crude way the EPG expects you to set up recordings.
On my 3 year old HUMAX I set up 95% of recordings by searching for program name. To my surprise you cannot do this on the Sony - you have to laboriously go though the epg manually to find the programs.
On further research (See the excellent comparison data on www.pvrjunction.co.uk) it seems that only Humax, Daewoo, and Topfield/TAPS allow searching by text.
I also found the interface generally slow, and the fan noisier than I found acceptable.
Had to go back!
Poor product from Sony, Plasma users beware September 8, 2007

Owned this for 5 months. Pros: excellent build quality, good picture quality but all this is significantly outweighed by the cons: noisy hard drive/fan (you can often hear this when watching); unit does not power down once you switch it off until after 20 mins and powers up 11 minutes before starting to record on a timer and the noise is disturbing; goes into indefinite Pause mode when it reaches the end of a programme (Plasma users ensure you do not fall asleep when watching a programme!); menus are clumsy; remote is not the most responsive; and to top it all the unit has suddenly started switching itself off in the middle of watching programs (did it once during dubbing). I would never buy this again.
 Great HDD/DVD recorder and even better service from Amazon - let down by the machine is not reliable August 10, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Planned this 6 months in advance by reading all the reviews in the glossy mags. Then bought it a few months ago and it would have been rated at 5 then - great machine for about three months I used it all the time to the point I even filled up the hard disk twice and then copied it all over to DVD disks but then it went into meltdown. I had the same experience as another reviewer with the unit powering off and on again and again plus making funny noises like metal to metal rubing, finally it refused to record onto disc. I only retrieved the data on HDD by copying it onto video tape, a bit of a step backwoods (thank god I kept the old video player).
Amazon were great about it and their phone-back service worked within seconds, well done Amazon. Becouse of Amazon excellent service I will buy my next HDD/DVD recorder (thinking of Sony RDRHXD970) from Amazon. As reading other reviews it looks likely the recorder will go wrong AGAIN, so better be safe than sorry... Buy from Amazon not a unknown company.
