Based on the Award-Winning RDR-HXD860, the Sony RDR-HXD970 is a stunning reference recorder, with numerous enhancements. It features both Freeview and analogue television tuners, providing good picture quality and the widest selection of free-to-air terrestrial channels. You can record on to DVD-R & +R format discs, including high-capacity Dual Layer discs or to the built-in 250GB hard disk and the RDRHXD970 also outputs upscaled, High Definition pictures via its HDMI output, for stunning HD pictures on your HD ready flat panel display.
More advanced features include the ability to watch from the start of a programme as the end is still being recorded and the option to both watch and record from either a single DVD, the hard disk or a combination of the two, at the same time.
The Sony RDR-HXD970 also features DV and USB inputs for capturing and playback from external storage devices or a camcorder, and a programme edit mode - very useful for transferring home movies from MiniDV or Digital8 to DVD and for loading up the built-in hard disk with hundreds of music and picture files, for jukebox playback.
