Enhanced Picture Quality
With a 12bit/108MHz Video DAC, the RDR-GX300 can improve and enhance your old videos and recode them for greater clarity and accents. By reaching the high ends of the colour spectrum, whether black and white or colour, the GX300 will return the best possible colour and vividness to your picture. Not only will your picture now be recorded on enhanced media, your picture will be enhanced in the process.
Chasing Playback (Available for use only with VR Mode and with DVD-RW 2x or Higher Speed)
With Sony's innovative Chasing Playback, you can record all your favourite television shows and watch them at the same time. While recording, the RDRGX300's Chasing Playback allows for you to begin playback of the freshly recorded DVD even though it is still recording in another area of the disk. This is perfect for those too anxious to wait until your recording is complete.
Simultaneous Playback
Sony's innovative RDRGX300 offers the ability to record while also playing a previously recorded show. So while you record the latest installment of your favourite television show, you can watch the episode that you recorded last night. The awesome playback & recording functions will ensure that you never miss a moment of your favourite show!
Universal Interface for Easy Video Transfer
The RDRGX300 is compatible to every video device through simple S-Video and Composite inputs. With these universal inputs, the RDRGX300 will connect seamlessly with all recording devices for fast and easy playback and recording. No matter your video format, you can easily transfer all your video to DVD for great picture quality.
