The phillips was very cheaply made, unreliable e and had a difficult and confusing user interface.

Price


This dvd recorder is well worth the money.


I bought a much cheaper dvd recorder ($110) and i could not stand how awful it was.


I bought this burner to record my favorite shows off of my dvr instead of having to buy the "show dvds" that are $60 a season.


A very good deal for the price.

Packaging/appearance


It was very well packed and is in excellent shape.


That means, do not press stop and let the system stop when the whole dvd is packed.


The rdr-gx is the answer to finally packing away that vhs and the vcr into the family time capsule.

Competitiveness


The sony unit is by far the superior product.


)philips and sony are the major manufacturers of dvd recorders that support dvd+rw.


Do not buy a philips, even though the slower record times are superior to the sony.
