I would be pleased to hear anyone who has a hack for the Sony RDR-GX3.

I`ve got a RDR-GXD500 but I don`t need multi region but have seen this post which leads to the others. I have also seen people talking about renting a remote for Sony`s to do the job.

Jazznme I purchased my RDR-GX7 in 2/04. I understand the GX3 has replaced it. The GX7 has better editing features---but that`s where it ends. I am now afraid of anything related to the GX7. If I had been more diligent, it would have been replaced by my maintenance warranty long before now. However, I did not always rush it back to repair--which always took over a month, because it had to sent back to Sony. Sony!!! And I trusted the Sony name! Now, on it`s 3rd repair cycle--the dealer is offering to trade it in....for a model that costs...less than $300 (GX3). I paid $499 and this model has advanced features, so we have not resolved the trade yet. I read two additional reviews on this unit today (a bit late!!) "Disk dirty" is such a dirty, dreaded phrase. It seems to disfavor some brands of discs. If it does not like the disk you cannot get it out because there is no emergency disk eject, so the unit 'locks up'. Sometimes when attempting to record, on a new disk, it locks up and finally you get the dreaded beep and message that "disk is dirty", but the disc is brand new. This also has occurred on several disks that I was planning to add a taping. The disks are carefully kept in slim cases to protect. This problem was intermittent during the first 9 months. It has become increasingly worse since the 2nd factory repair. Now, one month following last service....it`s happening most of the time and finally--it will not read ANY disk...NONE!!! And now I have ALL this disks that I can`t finalize and will lose hours and hours of editing work. Disks that I was making from edited 8mm video!!! I am mad!!! Can anyone tell me how I can finalize these disks in progress?? Please!!!
