5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent !, 19 Oct 2008
By G. S. F. Mitchell "barmy_bing" (Salop, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Spent weeks trying to decide which model to buy. My priorities included a) Quiet b) Easy to Use c) Easy to Install d) Compatible with my existing equipment (includes Epson Projector, LG Cinema Sound, Sharp LCD. It came up trumps in all requirements. My wife could not get on with my previous LG DVD recorder...far too complicated, but within 30 mins was recording to HDD quite merrily. The manual looks daunting, but to be up and running you need about 3 pages only. The manual is available on-line at Sony's site, so I got everything planned before it arrived.

A couple of Reviews on the "Black" version complained about noise ... must have been a faulty item, and another about intrusive LEDs but neither have been noted.

I would recommend this to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony RDR-HXD890 Freeview+ 160GB Hard Disc Drive DVD Recorder - Silver, 19 Jan 2009
By MWH "MWH" (Fareham, UK) - See all my reviews
All my electronics are Sony and this lived up to my expectations fom a quality manufacturer. However, like all modern equipment, you need a degree to get the most out of it! Why have Sony changed the layout and functions in the various menus? Admittedly this recorder receives Freeview as well as analogue TV but it has made it rather more complicated than earlier models. Manufacturers ought to aim to simplify. Fortunately this was an upgrade from another Sony DVD recorder otherwise I might also have found the manual a little daunting. Perhaps things will improve when analogue finally ends. One other niggle is the front display. It is very dim and difficult to read against the bright HDD/DVD indicator and the light from the TV. The clock is almost invisible when in standby mode, especially in daylight. Having said all this, I am still very pleased with the functioning of this equipment and would definitely go for Sony again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but with one or two oddities, 12 Jan 2009
By 512AXY "Chris" (Cambridgeshire) - See all my reviews
This is my second Sony DVD recorder and it performs just as well as the first with the added bonus of Freeview. There are a few oddities though.
1. Almost every Sony DVD recorder has a totally different way of adding titles to recordings Why ?
2. This machine seems to have the ability when you transfer an ITV HD recording to a DVD to allow you to then separate out the adverts so you can clip them out but this is not advertised - I wonder why ?
3. If you choose to transfer the recording to DVD using a lower standard (eg EP to SLP) the new recording is redated and retimed. Why on earth do this ?
All in all an excellent machine but Oh dear, what a manual - no better than the last !!
