...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 ...

...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.

Disadvantages: DVD drive reliabilty, can't watch and record at same time

I originally bought the Liteon LVW-5045GDL+ model fro Currys Digital a coupld of years ago when they were doing it on promotion for whatever football cup was on. We used it for several months without problems, recording to both the HDD and DVDs, and playing many DVDs - both commercial and home-burned. After about 8 months, the DVD suddenly stopped recognising blank DVDs. I took it back to Currys, who replaced it with the HD-A 740 GX model they ...
...really don't get this as Liteon have a great reputation for their optical drives in PCs! Anyway, aside from this, the 740 is a great DVD recorder - it can record to Dual-layer DVDs, has optical output for home cinema, can be firmware upgraded, and has a pretty decent - if complex - menu system. Avoid using the EP and SLP modes - the picture quality is a bit jagged at times. Some makes of DVDs are simply not recognised, but that's really not big ... Read review
