 The new Sony Hard Disk Drive DVD Recorders are marketed primarily as a partner for Bravia Televisions.
The flagship models RDR-HX1080 and RDR-HXD1090 feature a 500GB drive – enough for up to 1420 hours of TV - alongside an analogue TV tuner for recording standard terrestrial channels.
However all HXD Series models also feature an integrated DVB-T tuner for viewing and recording digital broadcasts. There’s also a choice of HX Series models that include an analogue tuner only (in the light of the change over, this is not such a good option to go for - ed).
Other new features to be included will be a HDD camcorder connection for all models that allows direct digital dubbing from any Standard Definition Handycam Hard Disk Drive camcorder by Sony.

Also new is the X-Pict Story, which is a powerful yet easy-to-use feature for creating your own personal slideshows. Using your remote, slide shows can be built up in moments from images stored on the recorder’s hard drive.
A choice of transition effects adds extra sparkle to slide shows, along with your own selection of musical soundtrack from stored music files. The results can be viewed directly on your TV or burned to DVD for sharing or storing.
Music recorded to the hard disk drive from audio CDs or USB flash drives can also be played jukebox-style via the TV screen.
For maximum viewing and convenience, BRAVIA Sync simplifies one-touch control of your complete home entertainment system. Connected via HDMI to your BRAVIA TV, the Hard Disk Drive DVD recorder can be controlled directly from the television’s remote, along with other compatible Sony devices like Blu-ray Disc players.
Environmental Info
PRODUCT: Power consumption in the most power efficient of the three stand-by modes of the HX/HXD series is only 0.75 watt. To minimize this risk for the HX/HXD series, almost all parts, including the printed circuit boards, are halogen-free.
PROCESS: To meet the requirements for recycling, all parts used in the production of the HX/HXD series are easily separable, and in comparison to last year’s models, there is now 5% less time needed to separate the parts for recycling and more than 50% of all parts can be recycled.
Recycled materials are used for the packaging, such as cartons and inside materials, which protect the Hard Disk Drive recorders during transport.
The instruction manual is printed on recycled paper.
