The RDR-HX900 is a multimedia powerhouse with an innovative design and cutting-edge components you can count on for picture quality that is second to none! With its awesome 160GB hard disk drive and flexible digital recording and playback capabilities, the RDR-HX900 is faithful to Sony's reputation.
The RDR-HX900 delivers up to 204 hours of recording time on the built-in hard drive! Yea...that more than a week's worth of your favorite TV shows and home videos available at the touch of a button! And Sony's easy-to-use on-screen interface makes it a pleasure to find, organize and edit all of your stored programs. Use the DVD recorder to dub material from the hard drive, and make high-quality DVD copies of your videos to share with friends and family. Sony's multi-format recording capability gives you the choice of using rewritable DVD-RW/+RW discs to record and erase video as often as you wish, or write-once DVD-R/+R discs to make everlasting, non-erasable copies.
The HX900's TV Guide On Screen program listings make recording your favorite shows from your television easier than ever. TV Guide's On Screen menu lets you search for programs alphabetically or by category, such as movies or sports, up to 8 days in advance. When you find a show that you want to record, just highlight the listing and press a button to save it to the hard drive or a DVD disc! Best part is, this service comes with no monthly fee, and requires no phone line connection.
With the i.LINK DV Interface you'll have super easy recording interaction between your compatible camcorder and the RDRHX900. Just plug your digital camcorder into the front of the RDRHX900 and you're ready to go. The included Remote Commander remote control operates both devices and activates one-touch dubbing, which copies the entire contents of a MiniDV or Digital8 tape with the press of a single button. You'll be able to effortlessly put all those family moments, fun adventures, and images on DVD for easy and long-term enjoyment. Imagine being able to keep all those memories for the future on small, easy-to-store DVDs instead of clunky, space-hogging VHS tapes. And, you can copy your footage to the hard disc drive and then only burn what you want to DVD for archiving or sending to family and friends.
