Pros Saves $$$$ if you are considering paying a service to dub home movies
Cons A little time consuming to set up and figure out (what electronic doesn't?)
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this DVD/VHS combo recorder in May 2008 in order to transfer my home videos from VHS to DVD. I didn't realize that there were recorders out there to accomplish this. I almost went to a business and paid $20 per DVD/home video transfer!

My husband hooked up the recorder to... Read full review »

This product is a piece of crap. I had never bought an LG product before this and will NEVER purchase one again. I bought this DVD/VCR recorder combo after I bought a new HD TV.

I'm Very Disappointed

1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Setup is easy and the last model played well.
Cons Can't use both sides at once to watch while recording. No display on VHS recording.
Recommended it? No

I bought this model to replace the previous LG DVD/VHS recorder that, after 5 months, wouldn't read, play, FF or rewind DVDs properly without freezing up.
After one week the new model (RC897T) started to shut down timer recordings from regular cable after 5 to 43 minutes and displayed a message... Read full review »

Pros None submitted
Cons Poor Quality
Recommended it? No

Worked great for about the first thirty days then little by little the DVD player quit reconizing any DVD's. At first after five to ten attempts it would finally play the disc. A year and a half later it won't even attempt to read the disc. Time to take it in for repair or through it in the trash... Read full review »

Average Product

Pros Easy to Use, Simple Setup, Great Design
Cons Basic features, Limited Formats
Recommended it? No

This product is outdated for todays technology. It works great for what it does, VHS and standard DVD. This is not good for those looking for the newest technology. It's probably not the greatest for a home theater and the quality is not the greatest. Read full review »
