LG RH7500

True. The same happent to me early on... I decided to take it to repair in the warenty period but after a few few months it started againd and even worse. I quicly realise it was a wrotten "horse"... Still have it, almost never let's me use it. I give it a litle spanky, it does not reply... It always demands a litke "hart" surgery :( It's an EXAUSTING and mind blowing stressing LG DVD... because of it's constant flaws and the obvious uninterest of makint it last...

My decision on buying LG was pure chance, but

now it's like... never again!

Owned my LG RH7500 for 4 years now. Only problem has been a problem with pre-recorded DVDs not being recognised and blank media unable to be formatted. Searched online for 2 minutes for the solution, and the problem has now gone. Get inside the box, take off the two screws on the DVD drive cover and (delicately) remove dust from the lens and surroundings. You should use delicate brushes and air blast, but I got some soft tissue and gently wiped. Worked first time after the 5 minute "repair".

Impressive quality on both picture and sound on this unit.

Easy to use, compared to some other brands I have seen.

This unit has been very useful while copying most of my important vcr-tapes to dvd. Great machine.

I've had the LG RH7500 recorder for over a year now, and though initially it worked magnificently, beautiful pictures and sound quality, pretty soon stopped recognizing branded blank and recorded dvds, later even the prerecorded discs. So now I've to find out, if possible, how to transfer videos from the hard drive to my pc or camcorder.Shame that this fault will brings down quite drastically, my rating of this otherwise good value machine.

I love my LG RH7500 DVD/HDD recorder! It is easy to use and gives a crystal clear quality. But, timer function doesn't always work handy- .srt files + avi's: subtitles "stick" till the next line shows

The LG RH7500 doesn't work well for very long. My own and my brothers dvd recorder both developed the same problem. The recorder stooped recognising disc ( even pre recorded disc ) .Got fixed by Lg but developed same fault again. this time it didn't recognise blank disc. I was told only use recommended disc and come back to Lg if the problem persist when using recommended disc. Trouble is finding disc that Lg recommend is impossible. When i finally realised this the recorder had again stopped recognising pre recorded disc and out of warranty. LG had no interest in helping, even though they sold a faulty product, didn't fix it properly and refused to fix it again until I had bought recommended disc that they must know are impossible to buy. I personally will not buy another Lg product because the after sales service is non existent.

I think the LG RH7500 is good value for the money, or was when I purchased it a year and a half ago. Good looking design, fine menus, plenty of holes to fill in the back.

Good value, good looking machine with good picture and sound quality worth a punt.

I assumed that this unit would automatically record from Sky like my 3 year old Phillips DVD recorder but it does not. I also thought that Hard Disk recorders enabled you to watch the start of a recording whilst continuing to record the rest of the programme - this is not the case with the LG. Unless you want to record from the analogue tuner, this unit is not much use for recording from Sky as you cannot watch anything else during that time, unless you have free-view - in which case you should buy a recorder that can 'do digital'.

I must be the odd one out, but I have had enough problems with the LG RH6500 DVD recorder to have lost faith in it.

Burn to DVD failure rate is about 33% across most manufacturers blank discs. Can be a bit noisy. Can't get a hold of their support people.
