LG RC797T DVD Recorder

Pros: A compact combo that does +DL recording exceptionally well.

Cons: No flexible record mode and limited support for +rw media.

The Bottom Line: It is the best performing recorder I have tried with double layer media. The layer change is not descernible at all.

Review: This unit has a ATSC tuner for high definition TV, a NTSC tuner for standard broadcast, and a QAM tuner for receiving unencrypted, high definition TV from basic analog cable. Cable companies must provide free local HD channels on basic analog cable by ...

Pros: None

Cons: Class action lawsuit candidate 

The Bottom Line: Avoid unless you love to through away money and have plenty of time on hand and patient

Review: I bought this DVD recorder and VCR Combo with the intention of someday transferring my old tapes to DVDs. I was not in any hurry to do that so i did not connect it right away... waited long enough to run out of warranty period or and return. once i ...

Pros: Nice Features and worked great!(until it broke)

Cons: It is broke.

Review: I wish that I could say that this is a great product and that I'm very pleased, but unfortunately I'm not. It's a shame to hear that these devices are prone to locking up, and unfortunately, I'm also victim of a bad unit. I'm not pleased about ...

Pros: easy to understant,navigate great tuner

Cons: bad lasers
Bad LG service
no recording from HBO, SHo etc

Review: This would have been a great machine if it worked... but the laser fails sometimes right out the box or soon there after... I went thru three of these units and the final one I use basically as a digital tuner for an older tv and as a VCR since it can't ...

Pros: It did once record DVD's

Cons: It won't read DVD's from Netflix and I'm not getting any support from the manufacturer.

Review: My RC797T no longer reads DVD's from Netflix. A call to LG tells me that I need to send it in for repair, to the tune of $70.00 plus packing the thing up and paying for shipping. Disappointing, and I'm not likely to buy an LG electronic item again ...

Pros: Makes good DVD dubbing of VCR tapes.

Cons: Expect to miss programmed recordings.

Review: The recorder I bought has "locked up" or "crashed" three times, where the only way to make it function is to unplug the recorder. The LG help line says another way to unlock the box is to press and hold the stop button, so the company is apparently ...

Pros: Easy to set up.

Cons: Failed at once.

Review: I bought this DVD recorder and VCR with the intention of someday transferring my old tapes to DVDs. I foolishly stashed the unit away until the warrantee had expired without checking it out first. After all, the box was still sealed and it was a new ...
