The Bottom Line	Sony's RDR-HX715 boasts a mouthwatering feature package, but its steep price tag gave us pause.	Outstanding recording quality, tons of features, and a built-in digital TV tuner make the Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK an excellent all-purpose DVD and VHS recorder.	Sony's slick, promising 160GB DVR and DVD recorder combo is hobbled by a well-nigh useless programming guide.	With dual-layer recording, a host of conveniences, and a slim look, the full-featured Pioneer DVR-533H-S recorder seems like a bargain.	Panasonic's DMR-EH75V DVD/VHS/hard drive recorder is a solid choice for hobbyists who want top-notch recording quality and a subscription-free DVR solution.
