I've no answer to what can replace the Sony drive I'm not buying Sony no more!!!!!!! Dennis August Sorry folks, please disregard my last post. The bezel is plastic though and it files easily, so you can come up with a perfect job if you take your time. The LG also has a slot to fit the tray cover and the Sony cover slides in beautifully without modification.
I put a drop of airplane glue on each end just to make sure it didn't pop off. A couple of hours work and a few beers and you have an invisible repair. Happy filing. Jim Paxton December Hello, have you found an dvd-rw drive for your dvd recorder rdr-gx7. I have the same problem!

Works perfect. With new resolution P and up a Blue-ray would be great. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. It is solidly built. I bought this recorder without a remote -- but one is not needed: all essential programming functions can be handled on the front of the unit.
Here's another, final, plus: the clincher: The Sony shuts down while recording HBO and other new movies - tells you the mater ial is copyrighted. I found this out in a CNET review of the -- many angry people brought their vintage s back to dealers because of this deliberate crippling of the 's record function by Sony. One CNET reviewer even said he bought a model Sony to replace it -- and it works fine recording cable and satellite movies. Read full review. I bought a later model Sony two years later, and it was much harder to use.
A local shop repaired the GX7 once and told me to keep it going as long as possible, because there is nothing like it available any longer. Sadly, parts are no longer available to repair this machine, so I looked for one on EBay.
I was able to return it and get my money back. I fou nd several others, but they were all "as is," "no return," or the seller did not know the condition, so I bought a new one of a different brand. Here is my advice: Do not buy a used RDR-GX7 unless it comes with an unconditional money back guarantee, because you probably can't get it repaired.
Several sellers that I corresponded with mentioned problems with the units they were selling. These machines have reached the end of their life span and the odds are against getting a satisfactory unit. I did fine one said to be "brand new" and unused, but the seller had a no return policy, so I did not take a chance. If you get one that really is in great condition, you will be delighted as long as it works. They can then be played only on that unit or the other Sony I bought.
In fact, it has done this maybe twice a year since I bought it. Someone told me this problem is caused by disks with a defect, not the machine. I am now copying these "locked up" disks to the new Toshiba I bought. Note that the "below average" rating I assigned applies only to the defective unit I bought, not to this model in general.
Since then, I have bought several more on Ebay, mostly for friends and family, as gifts, and one more for myself, for backup. This product is beautiful in every way. So easy to use and the recordings are far, far better quality than anything you can produce on your computer. I have connected my Hi-8 videocam to it and copied all my home movies onto DVD, with no loss of quality that I can detect, either video or audio. It also has the fantastic plus of being free of the dreaded chip that all the new DVD recorders come with.
