20 Most Recent LG RC797T Questions & Answers

Cable in to vcr/dvd in.DVD/VCR out to tv

I'm assuming you are referring to using the dish network remote to control your DVD/VCR unit. Use the instructions in your Dish Network manual, mine is on page 61, "Setting up using device code tables". Refer to the table of device codes in the back of the dish manual, pg 119, to look up your manufacturer. I used the DVD codes for LG as LG wasn't listed on DVD/VCR combo codes. Try each one until one works. I have the LG RC797T and the third code worked 824. Good luck!

Some one needs to at least if no power light open the unit and look for a fuse--if power light is there and will not function at all it may or may not be economical to repair this unit.

possible cause is the lens of the dvd player is already been damage, try to use CD cleaner first if the problem still exist just sent it to a tech person to assist your problem on actual. Thanks

• Hi, I can help.
• Sounds like the lens is just really dirty. Go buy a leans cleaner disk and run it through the DVD player two or three times to get the lens good and clean. Repeat about once a month to keep the lens clean and running properly.
• These disks I speak of have little bristles on it that "sweep" the lens clean. I use them on all my disk players and they work real well.

• If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.

If it's less then a year old i would have it serviced under warranty if not I would try a laser lens cleaning disc and see if that helps at all.
thank you,

The new recorder comes with security systems in it - when it encounters programs that have a "Do not Copy" signal on them it will refuse to work. This is how it's designed to work, there's nothing you can do to change that. BTW , even if you could do that it would have been illegal - recording a copy-protected program is considered by the lawyers of the channel in question as piracy .
The older one didn't do that because it didn't had the security system.

I'm having the same problem with the power being on one minute and then there's just nothing there the next, can be out for hours and then just all of a sudden comes back on, have tried different power points etc, anyone got any ideas? bad wiring?

Yes, you can connect another VCR to the LG's video & audio input jacks and record from the external VCR. You may have to select the line input from the menu to activate these inputs.

Sounds like a dirty laser but more likely a weak or dead laser.
or the spindle motor is out if you don't hear it spin up
90 days labor 1 year parts for most warranty

Most stand-alone DVD recorders finalize the DVD before ejecting it. Are you sure it not already finalized?
