The Sony RDR-HXD710 is a
brilliantly equipped DVD and Hard Disk recorder. A Freeview tuner
provides a wide selection of free-to-air programming for you to enjoy.
This is coupled to a chunky 160GB hard disk (enough for up to 269 hours
of recording) and a multi-format DVD player/recorder.
 "The
'710 ticks all our current boxes for DVD recorders, and then some: as
good a reason to jump on the DVD/HDD bandwagon as we have seen", What
HiFi Sound and Vision, October 2005. |
