 Superb machine June 18, 2008

Had this one for 4 months now and hugely impressed. Superb quality on playback and recording and quite quiet in operation. HD picture superb, but the best thing is it has finalised some discs I had recorded on my old recorder which I had omitted to finalise. Don't know if the comments on the confusing manual are accurate - didn't find the need to use it and everything has gone well. Good all round performer.

Bought the Sony RDRGX350B recorder to replace a top of the range Sony DVD player which was an absolute disater and waste of money in terms of quality and what it would play.
the Sony RDRGX350B was a bit difficult to set-up - surprisingly so as I have a new Sony digital TV. However, once I disregarded the instruction book and followed the time honoured logic of pressing buttons, I managed to get a good signal by setting my old Nokia set-top digital receiver to Auto-Tune.
The DVD plays most of my discs. They are an assortment from all over the world. I have no idea what region or what type of disc they are. Many of my discs are copies of DV stuff sent by friends and cheap DVD's, etc,. The Sony RDRGX350B played about 90% of these discs. (My previous Sony played none!).
Quality of the picture and audio playback = excellent.
Recording is very straightforward. The quality of the recorded DVD playback = excellent.
The handset is a little flimsy for a Sony product - I have 4 other handsets from other Sony products and they are far more robust.
I noticed another review (above) that stated that the receiver was not digital. I agree that this is annoying but afterall, the price I purchased this recorder for was inexpensive.
The Sony RDRGX350B gets a 9/10 based upon price and playback picture quality. I am very pleased and consider it money well spent - highly recommended.
Great. April 16, 2008

Looks great - plays great - records brilliantly.
Bought this to replace a Philips - and it's perfect. Records onto any old DVD+ or DVD- (even cheapo ones from Lidl!), replays at fantastic quality AND upscales to 1080p! Not listed as multiregion, but still seems to play my few US discs quite happily. Also plays discs made on my PC without complaint. Looks the business, too, in moody black!
Even broadcast output from a digibox looks better played through this machine. However, the Sony wants to be the last thing in the chain - ie plug the digibox (or whatever) into the Sony, and then the Sony into the TV. (My chain goes VCR > digibox 1 > digibox 2 > Sony GX350 > telly - and works a treat.)
At this price you're not going to get a digital tuner. (Even if you did you'd still only be able to record one thing - a twin tuner PVR would be better.) But recording quality on the Sony GX350 is indistinguishable from the original - even at 2.5 hour length. In fact, recording and playback quality are both absolutely marvellous.
Complaints? Well, the manual seems a little over-complicated (110 pages!). And as someone has said before, the on-screen instructions are in a tiny font. Editing functions are limited to DVD- discs. But for 99 quid, who's quibbling?
First class.
EDIT: One more thing. On DVD+ disks it records the usual .VOB files. On DVD- disks it records the less compatible .VRO files. For maximum compatibility you may be best off sticking to DVD+.
 Difficulty in setting up with Sky HD March 10, 2008
8 out of 15 found this review helpful
I bought this to do 1 thing, which is to empty my full Sky HD hard drive, I know it doesn't record in HD, as yet nothing commercially available will. No all I wanted to was to put the 6 recorded Rugby league games onto their own discs. I have an AV amp at the heart of my system, I have the SKY HD box and this recorder feeding into that via HDMI and an HDMI from AV Amp to the Plasma TV, working a treat. Now I wanted to connect the recorder side of things via scart, firstly no signal at all coming into the recorder, that was the SKY box output setting, sorted, then when I did eventually get a picture its about one third the size of my plasma with no sound at all. This I assumed was the very expensive RGB Scart I used which I suspect is picture only, add an audio lead I thought, the problem is there is no audio input on this Sony other than the decoder/line in scart. So I have had to buy a second fully wired scart, but still when I look at the picture through this scart it is still reduced in size to the middle of the plasma. Frustrating!! so in terms of playing DVD's it is good, trying to get recordings from the Sky HD box to it though is a different matter.
