Hi,
I have hunted around the net and looked around this forum and think I now have a grip on what the various model numbers mean in the Sony Range. As someone says elsewhere on the forum, Sony UK's website is v poor, so you really need to do your homework.
Please tell me if any of the statements below is incorrect.
1) An HXDnnn has an integral Freeview tuner while an HXnnn does not
2) If there is an S on the end of the model it only means the case is silver (which I think they all are anyway)
3) As long as the letters don't change, in the series 510/710/910/1010 (if the latter exists yet) each higher spec model includes ALL of the features of the next model down i.e. to gain more storage or connections you never lose anything in return, if you gain HDMI you don't lose SCART, etc
4) Based on the above, if I want:
- an integral Freeview tuner
- progressive scan (component) output
- 160-250Gb storage
- multi-region capability
I should buy an RDR-HXD710 or RDR-HXD910 which has been modified to be multi-region
Any confirmation or correction of the above before I buy would be much appreciated.
Nigel
