Hi,
I'm looking to buy a DVD Recorder and have a few questions before I buy. I
need a DVD recorder with HDD and by looking at manufacturer's websites I am
currently looking at the following two models: Pioneer DVR-530H-S and Sony
RDR-HX510S.
My favourite is the Pioneer DVD-530H-S because it has a 160gb HDD and also a
lot of features such as "Guide+" and chase play. However, the sony model
supports both types of DVD disk (- and +) whereas the Pioneer only
supports -. I will be using the hard drive for most basic recording and RW
disks for burning things I want to keep for longer.
I'm unsure about the difference and don't want to make a mistake and get the
one that won't allow me to record easily or that will be defeated by the
other type right after I buy!
So my questions are:
1. With the - format, is it still easy to record "VCR style" - just put it
in and press record? Or do you have to erase the DVD-RW disk EVERY time??
When I record to the disk do you have t owait for the diskto be "closed"
afterwards?
2. Are there any advantages to the DVD+R/+RW format that I would be missing
out on?
3. Do you recommend any other current models at around the same price?
Thank you very much for any help!
Matt
