LG RC797T 1080i Upconverting DVD Recorder VCR Combo with Tuner Review
I have owned many of these units from Panasonic, Sony, Sanyo, JVC, etc and this is by far the best. It has an excellent VHS unit while others are horrible. Perfect for preserving tapes. The digital tuner works well with QAM cable and off the air. It can read dual layer DVD+R media perfectly. It also has a really nice quality feel to it.

After the warrenty passed the RF output died; only the "individual outputs" worked, ie, the Component Video Outputs.br /br /After a few months I decided to put this machine to another use as a simple tuner. That is when it went it went "crazy." When it powered-up it tried to read a DVD that wasn't present. It continued to open and close the DVD tray every few minutes. Eventually it stopped with the tray open.br /br /That's when I slammed the tray shut. It stopped that behavior.br /br /This machine still displayes "Hello" when it should present something about time or condition.br /br /I'm using this machine at this time only to see Comcast cable on the basic plan.br /br /I haven't shut it off since the "slamming."br /br /In my opinion, this machine is a piece of crap.br /br /
Product unrelible and LG worse - Steven Silver - Lake Forest, IL United States
I own a LG Electronics LC797T recording VCR/DVD. It is 18 months old and intermittently would not tune to the selected station on timer record and would record just static. All other functions including playback and manual recording on the VCR and DVD are fine.br /br /Called LG Technical Support and spoke to Daniella who had me try several things and determined that it was most likely the "Tuner" or possibly" a defect in the system". She said to return the unit to LG -Al with Case No. C09070400593 and they would tell me what it would cost to fix.br /br /I sent the unit in the original packaging with a letter and Case No. at a .00 UPS charge and upon arrival I received a call from Mitzi Carruth who asked where was my money order for the testing at .00. They would not tell me what was wrong or costs without paying the fee and since I went this far I gave her my credit card No. She agreed to accept a credit card ( my Chase VISA above).br /br /I then received a call about 10 minutes later stating that the following needed replacement: the main logic board, the VCR logic board, the DVD logic board and the Tuner, all at a cost of 3.+. I expressed my concern that all those functions work (VCR and DVD) and she went back to the technician and they said they needed replacement. I asked how this would be considerably more than the 5 paid when new and the newer replacement unit could be purchased for 5. She said that was it. I asked to have the unit returned un-repaired and asked for the .00 fee to be credited. She stated that it was not their policy to do so. I received the unit back.br /br /I contested the .00 charge and the Credit Card Company received no response to phone calls and messages and I contacted LGs on line support and they would do nothing at all including escalating the issue to management.br /br /NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE A LG PRODUCT OF ANY TYPE
