Rating:  - Disappointing
I withheld getting a HD Recorder for a long while and felt I'd done my research well. After 15 months or less than heavy usage, the Hard Disk has given up and died "HDD Error". Rebooting, powering off for a while, reformatting the disk have all failed to correct the problem. I can't even use it as a standalone DVD player or recorder because it always wants to find the HDD first.
I found the machine slow to start up, I found it frustrating that it did did switch to a widescreen display ... Read More
Rating:  - Worst dvd recorder I have owned
I bought this to replace a Medion (Tevion) recorder bought from Aldi. I assumed wrongly that the Sony would be of higher quality. My experiences have been similar to those of other reviewers. The machine has always been impossibly slow, hard to use, and lacking in some obvious features. It has always needed re-booting regularly, and now it has decided to die completely, with the dreaded "HDD error" display. Of course, it is now 14 months old,and just out of the one year guarantee. I echo the advice ... Read More
Rating:  - A BRILLIANT PIECE OF KIT!!!
This is one brilliant recorder, a perfect compliment to the Freeview set-top-box.

No more searching through endless tapes to find which you recorded that program last week, just access the menu and away you go! Once recorded to the HDD it can be transferred to a DVD with a few easy ... Read More
Rating: - Sluggish, poorly thought-out and unreliable
I got my first one of these as a replacement for the Sony RDR-HX510, which broke down after a short time.
I have to say I didn't really like this model. Although it had a hard drive that was twice the size of my previous machine, the extra capacity seemed to have been provided at the expense of many of the features which made the RDR-HX510 so good.
Gone was the full-screen edit facility, with the playback being in a much smaller screen within the main screen. The rest of the screen area was ... Read More
Rating:  - Suspect Quality Issues
I have now had 2 of these. The first one failed to accept any pre-recorded discs and was tempremental. Amazon replaced it straight away but the replacement started skiping and locking up when replaying HDD recordings and refused to copy to discs. Amazon refunded in full. We are now probably going to get the more modern RDRHXD870B and give that a go. The HX725 manual is huge and not too good, but if you're reasonably competent you should be OK...
