- Don't Buy This!
- This unit will not allow you to record movies, anything from HBO, it simpy isn't worth anything. There has to be a solution, but so far I haven't been able to record much at all.
Sorry my review is so short, I see many others have the same concerns as I, I just wanted to add my "voice". - 2008-10-03, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Easy to use and reliable
- I've had this DVD player/recorder for 7 months now and I haven't encountered any of the problems that others here have. The one I ordered was new, not refurbished, so that may have helped.
It's easy to set up and easy to use, a big improvement over the Panasonic DVD player/recorder I brought this to replace. I use mine mainly to play DVDs and to transfer old VCR tapes to DVD so the built-in copy protection hasn't been an issue for me. If you want to record programs off broadcast or cable that have an anti-copy signal or download similarly protected shows off a Tivo be warned: this recorder won't work for you.
But if, like me, you're looking for a solid, good quality DVD player that will help you get rid of alot of old VCR tapes you have laying around, this is a decently priced option. - 2008-08-03, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Sony refurbished GX330 DVD Recorder
- NEVER,and I mean never, order a refurbished DVD recorder from Sony. Just got mine last week. 2 very big problem. First, when I opened the manual I discovered it was a copy of a copy of a copy. The quick start guide was unreabable. The large booklet was a little better. It took only 2 of us to read it. The worst thing was the remote control. It was the wrong one. The only thing it would do was turn it off and on, and open the tray. I could not get any signal whatever to the tv. Trying to read the manual I discovered I needed to set the input line source. But, you guessed it, that needed to be done with the remote. After 2 days I called Sony customer service. The first lady I talked to said the book was not available, and she didn't think the remote was availabe. She sent me to another person, who got mad and hung up on me. I called again and another person said she needed to take the info and send me another remote and book, but I couldn't get for another 10 days. I told he to forget it and I wanted to send the unit back. She sent me to another person in some other country who said I had to pay to send it back. ( I think, hard to understand). I told her no, you messed up the order, you pay the shipping. Got sent to anothet person who said I needed to get a E-number, and said to call the nex day because they were busy. Called the next day and requested an E-number. He said he coudn't do that. He needed to hear the entire story again. Half way thru the story, he got mad and hung up. Called again and got a person who spoke english. He took the info and gave me an E-number. Got sent to another person who wanted to know the reason why I wanted to send it back. Then and only then did I get an ok to send it back.
This may be a fine DVD Recorder, but I never found out. Sony is the very worst company to buy anything from. Do not expect any customer support. None of the people I talked to could care less. - 2008-03-25, 5 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
