...begin with, I purchased an LG DR 275 DVD recorder about 6 months ago now and had being using it frequently until I upgraded to Sky+. It is still in use but just doesn't record very much these days. I would reccommed people buy the player but not if they are looking for the height of DVD player technology.. This is a very standard, functional and effective DVD player/recorder but is not the most modern in terms of cutting edge technology because it ...
...files on high-speed connections. The LG DR 275 allows these files to be played on your TV.

...with the “new in stock” LG RH-277H DVD recorder, now I have had an LG television for donkeys years and it was incredibly easy to work, so this seemed like a really good indicator, not only that the remote could be made as easy or as simple as I wanted it to be. At a price of £199 I thanked all the staff and scouried out of the store with it. Set up seemed straightforward once I had tackled the multitude of packaging materials enclosed, I plugged ...
...recorder. I rang the LG helpline which was closed “please call back Monday”; but while I was on the phone I noticed a whiff off burnt toast, my Grandmother was badgering about in the kitchen so thought little of it. I packed up the DVD recorder and headed back to Currys, where the trio had served me earlier were all still stood in the same section I had earlier ransacked. I apologised and told them my tale, to which the manager quickly emerged with ... Read review

Advantages: A lot of functionality for the price
Disadvantages: Reliability is a concern. Noise.

...for a new replacement, but LG only suplly a reconditioned unit with 3 months waranty. OK, but could have been better. The menu created on a DVD is fairly basic, but does the job. Recording quality is fine, but there are a couple of rough edges in the menu and operating system. There are some limitations in recording flexibility when using the cheaper DVD-RW rather than DVD+RW, and there is also a restriction on fast dubbing tracks that have been ... Read review

Advantages: good price now down to around £99, looks nice
Disadvantages: quite slow at ejecting disc from standby(i.e. when not spinning)

when I got my LG DR7400 home, I was feeling rather apprehensive, were there going to be any more nasty surprises? Remote Dimensions 21cm x 5cm The best things about the LG DR7400 are its nice slimline design, which is understated and doesn't have any garish flashing lights or really naff glowing record buttons. Secondly, it comes with a very good remote control, as pictured on the left. Some remote controls for other brands of DVD recorders have ...
...pleased to say that the LG DR7400 doesn't suffer from this, if you want to zoom in all you have to do is press the zoom button on the remote, once for 2x and twice for 4x and again to go back to normal. Other buttons on the LG's remote that others leave out are: Eject, Instant Skip, FF, REW, Return, Display, Audio, subtitle, zoom, clear, Chapter Add, Repeat, A-B Repeat, Thumbnail, Marker (Bookmark) and Bookmark search. The LG's remote contains 3 ... Read review

Advantages: lots of connections
Disadvantages: difficult to use, poor disk compatability

Not the best DVD recorder available. It has some good points but i feel these are outweighed by its bad ones? It is a DVD-RW recorder that for when it was produced had an impressive array of features. Just a shame that they are not easy to use. First the connections: 2 X Scart on the rear AV in/out on rear AV in/out on front S-Video front and rear IEEE-1394 Firewire on front Component Video on rear. It does not have HDMI for connecting to ...
...keep most people happy? Playback. It has a habit of refusing to play disks particularly any produced on a PC, I'm not talking illegal copies i mean home movies put onto DVD. It also refused shop bought DVD's on occasions. When it does play disks the picture and sound quality are acceptable but not spectacular. Recording. No VideoPlus only a timer facility that promises up to 7 programmes in a month, but with a maximum recording time of 4 hours ... Read review
