Don't go here. Buy something else. Anything else. It just isn't worth the angst of the product not working correctly most of the time from new and then losing the product for several weeks every month or 2 over and over again.

The Hard drive works most of the time.

The DVD playing and recording facility stopped after about 2 times I used it. Doesn't matter what dvd I use. It went back and forward to the repairer 5 times until we were told that they will never replace the deck or give a refund, and just do the...

For once, a 3 yr warranty is a minus. Maybe i won't wait till Jan '10 to throw it in the bin & buy a reliable brand.

Was cheap when bought it Jan '07. Very easy to use ... when it works! Apart from high fuel bills from all the long trips to therepairer, the 3 yr warranty has meant I haven't had to pay a cent so far.

after about 10 months it started freezing when recording or mid playback. Got repaired under warranty with new MP3 unit. Put up with another 12 months of occasional freezes, but then it started to simply reboot midway through things. Finally took it...

It is in for the third repair, I hope it is terminal & it dies under warranty testing so I can get something else instead. Last LG purchase for me.

easy features worked well for 18 months

defective & faulty - de-synched audio/video after 18 months, massive pixellation on the playing back of recorded TV from the HDD. So much time wasted taking it for warranty repairs.

I will never buy an LG player again! Oh and it is going in for repairs AGAIN! When the warranty is out It will be cheaper for me just to replace it with another brand than to continue repairing it. I see from other reviews that this is a common...

Stores alot of movies on the hard drive, easy to use.

Great for the first 3 months. Had this unit for 18 months now and repaired a few times. Does not recognise some original DVD's so the movies just can not be watched, annoying!! Records out of sync, voice follows seconds later. Unit freezes/locks up,...

Good

Pretty good buy, I haven't had any of the complaints registered above. I've been using it without any glitch whatsoever for over 30 months now.

Ease of use

When hard disk is nearing capacity, the system takes about 90 seconds to be ready. programmes dubbed on dvd cannot be played on other players.

Our player was excellent for the first twelve months then it stopped recognising dvd's then the programs we were recording became out of sync with the voices about 1/2 a second behind the picture. Very annoying to watch.
