Not a huge LG fan here, but I'm curious to see it when you do get it. I did have a Zenith DVD player in the mid 2000s that was LG made and it was surprisingly reliable.

Were you able to find a remote to test the DVD recording capability? If so, perhaps you may be able to assist me. I have a newly purchased (used) Sony RDR-VX525. Do you happen to have any suggestions for the following situation? I am trying to digitize my home videos. After pressing the --> video button, the player acts like it is recording (video is playing, DVD recording icon is on, record comes up on the top of the screen, etc.). When the VHS tape is finished, I press the stop button on the remote. A screen comes up stating something along the lines of "Updating disc information. Please wait." On the player itself, the information screen says INF-WRITE (seems to be a copywriting error, but it's a home video, so I'm not sure why it would be saying that). The information screen on the player then flashes something like disc err (disc error?) and ejects the disc from the player. Do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting or how to fix this? Thanks!

I haven't found a remote yet, so I've only been using it to upconvert to HDMI for now. As far the error, you could try a different blank DVD (like different brand, maybe it doesn't like the ones you're using). Only other thing I could think of is it has a problem with the DVD burner part.

Some of the Panasonic VHS / DVD recorders combo units have digital (DVB-T) tuners. The DMR-EZ 47, 48 & 49 also the DMR-EZ99 which is a VHS/DVD-R/HDD combo. Not sure if there's an equivalent for NTSC with an ATSC1.0 tuner.

Thanks for the information. Question: Can you pause the DVD during recording? For example, if I wanted to use the same DVD-R (or +R) and while recording, pause it, then eject the VHS tape, enter another VHS tape and have it ready to the place on that tape I want to record, and press play - then unpause/resume DVD recording. Can this be done with this particular model? (And this is assuming you do have the remote, too). Thanks.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I've mainly been using the upscaled output portion. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to create a mult-session disc. I think it would split into 2 chapters though. Manual can be found here, but it's pretty useless: www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/3096/30964871M.pdf

Hmm not sure without actually looking at it. Could be a power supply or main CPU issue. These modern combo units have pretty substantial microprocessors that can fail. Panasonic/Sony/Toshiba are all good, but model dependent, since many were made by other manufacturers and re-branded under their name.

When I play a VHS through mine the picture gets a little fuzzy for a second or two, then it clears up for a second or two. It does that repeatedly the entire time the VHS is playing

Two things to check - is the bottom edge of the tape inside the cassette chewed or damaged? Also when playing, does the counter count up consistently, or does it not move sometimes while the tape is playing? The tracking pulse is recorded on the bottom edge of the tape and is used as a way to sync the video heads to the recording tracks. If it's missing or damaged, or the VCR control track head is broken, then the symptom is the picture going in and out like that (as well as a slow or not moving counter)

Well, this is from the era of cheap combo units, so that wouldn't be surprising. But 3 years in since this video and it's still chugging along. Hifi on the VCR still doesn't work so I rarely use, but I do use the DVD player and the HDMI upscaling.
