More interactive features include the One Touch Dubbing mode which will allow users to transfer video content straight to a DVD-Video by pressing a single button and Intelligent Chaptering that allows users to jump straight to a scene that the player has intelligently marked.

The RDR-HX1010 also offers a live pause feature so you can timeshift television as well as supporting DVD-RW/-R , DVD+RW/+R and DVD+R Double Layer discs.

It will be available in Europe in September, although Sony has not yet set a price.
