LG RH-1777

This unit has an easy to use setup menu. The HDD recording makes it easy to record live TV.

The buttons are mounted on the top of the unit this can cause the unit to fault and open and close and other faults. LG DVD players do have a slightly high fail rate compared to other brands but this is justified by their cheaper prices. New LG...

Parent's find it easy to program.

DVD player stopped reading DVDs after 3 years.Was in for service in first year for hard drive freezing.Harddrive replaced,firmware reflashed.Since out of warranty took lid off to see if I could replace DVD drive as it is nearly same size as a standard...

3 year warranty wow. Works well never had a problem till now.

none till now. Changed house around, plugged in and black and white picture. new cables,reconnected several ways and still black and white.

HDD recording great, beats the old VCR

After 12 months laser went on DVD player and wouldn't read any DVDs. After spending 6-7 weeks in local service centre it played fine but after 3 months the same thing is happening again so its back to the shop again, no wonder they give you 3 years...

Great device when it works. Easy to use. Hard drive is great.

Just like all the others, at about 14 months it started to play up when reading DVDs. Now wont play DVDs, cant burn DVDs, and menus are freeze and the machine locks up. I/O board is failing and is almost unusable.

Is easy to use

very slow to dub from hdd to dvd, real time

Here's what I originally liked about this unit (before it went cactus, 17 months after I got it!): able to record heaps of shows from TV and watch them later. The interface is easy to use, recording with the timer is really simple, so is editing out...

The process for renaming shows once recorded is annoying and time-consuming, as you have to cycle through letter-by-letter. The recorder has no memory for frequently-used titles. Dealing with LG when I needed repairs done is a pain in the neck. They...

like the recording features on the HD

unreliable when it comes to playing DVD. The quality of the playback off the HD is not the best either

Easy interface, good quality picture.

On music cd playback the sound constantly starts and stops for up to a second every minute or so, very annoying. Also remote control sometimes doesn't work and takes 5 or 6 gos for it to do the desired function.

I can record heaps of shows from TV and watch them when I like. The interface is easy to use, recording with the timer is really simple, so is editing out the advertisements. It is SO much better than a VCR. I used this recorder when I house-sat at a...

Can't self-install a larger HDD without voiding the warranty, which means I have to wait out the 3 years before I can put a bigger HDD in. The process for renaming shows once recorded is annoying and time-consuming, as you have to cycle through...
