Review by Mr. F. L. Dunkin Wedd for Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder
Rating:
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+.

This is a stonking good DVD recorder. The menu and simple timer/setup controls are a joy to use. The Sony RDRGX350B looks sleek and stylish and delivers high quality recordings at many speeds – it can record up to 10 hours on a standard disk!! The machine plays and records most if not all DVD formats and has special modes to record 3 hours on a disk (to record that special 3hr film at best quality).
The menu was easy to operate and had an Undo in case you made a mistake. Having used previous DVD recorders this one stands out and the remote is very light and has great range.
At under £100 this is a bargain. Sony quality without the price.
Review by Gordon Heaney for Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder

This is a great peice of kit. It’s cheap, easy to use and the difference the upscaling makes to the image quality is quite remarkable. I use it through a SONY 37″ LCD HD TV.
I watched Disney’s Cars and the picture quality is quite stunning. So good in fact that I can’t see how HD could improve upon the picture this little baby produces. The upscaling does seem to make a noticable difference.
However, you must use an HDMI cable to get the benefit of the upscaling – a SCART cable won’t cut it.
Set up is quite easy and the upscaling option defaults as standard to 1080i, so you don’t have to do anything to get a great picture.
The manual is very good and you can use the remote control to control the TV – one less remote to sit on!
The only down side of this product is the small and not always easy to read display. Other than that, highly recommended – it’s a bargain.
Review by Mr. D. Grindey for Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder

Excellent quality. Arrived promptly. Easy to setup. Recording within the hour. Used DVD-RW. HQ setting is excellent although disks only last an hour. Took disk straight from SONY and played on Denon with no finalising required. Ace. N.B. For best quality (up to 2 hours) get some Dual Layer DVD-RW. May need a hack for multiregion.
Review by audiofile 118 for Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder

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.
