I bought this unit at Best Buy for $279.00. The digital tuner brings in a better over the air signal than my LG Plasma TV does. Also I enjoy recording on DVDs. The picture and sound and control is much better than on VHS. This unit records on both and dubs both ways as well. Every thing works fine. Why though do they give us such a cheap remote control with such a nice piece of equipment. Also...
Strengths: Good Digital Tuner with Timer
Weakness: Setup Instructions
I am an over the air roof antenna user and I love free TV. I have been looking for reviews on digital vcr's for the past six months.

LG 897T DVD/VCR RECORDER WITH QAM DIGITAL TUNER
Strengths: It does everything that it is supposed to do and more!
Weakness: I have had this unit for 3 months now and have found none!
After reading some of the comments from other reviewers I wish to clarify some things that I have read in their reviews. I too, thought that a recorded dvd on this LG recorder would not play on other dvd players that were not a LG brand. I again read the manual but could not find an explanation. But by reading between the lines and putting 2 and 2 together, I found the solution. I too ejected the...
