Piece of Junk - Shame on you LG 
I paid $199 for this, thinking it was the best player around at the time short of blu-ray. A few months into it, it doesn't accept any DVD, even the one's it recorded.
Of course the warranty has expired. I will never buy another LG product in my lifetime.
noisy fan motor, not reliable
I bought one of these about year ago and it stopped reading most movie disks within 3 months. I had a new playback unit installed under warranty. 3 months later the cooling fan motor started making an awful racket and stops only when it is allowed to make racket for 5min. or so and then tap it. LG started out making good products but now it appears they have gone the way of most corporations today letting greed override their commitment to quality.
Good, but make sure to use HDMI cables. 
I have had this for a year and change, and it still works great for me. BUT I could not use component cables (the ones that are like the standard A/V cable only with three cords for video instead of just the yellow one) to hook it up to my Westinghouse TX-42F430S 42" 1080p LCD HDTV. The image pops and knocks out the connection. I am using HDMI cables, the Inspire HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b specifically, it works great.
Another thing is how it upscales stuff. 720p and 1080i look great if you are watching something widescreen, but it will stretch out something that is in the standard 4:3 resolution.
I have only had issues recording onto discs when I have used a DVD-RW over and over, for months. Too bad it doesn't have a hard drive!
WORST DVD PLAYER AND RECORDER EVER!!!!
We purchased this dvd recorder at bestbuy and it is awful. It takes so long to even load a dvd and sometimes will freeze and you will actually have to disconnect the power to it and then reconnect. We normally purchase everything sony but this looked more sleek and would read memy cards for a slideshow of pictures. I would not recommend this to anyone EVER. To go back to a scene you have to do it all by remote. I will never again buy LG.
Nightmare on "LG" Street
I own two of these...unfortunately. These work great for the first six months or so but, then totally begin to fail on you in many ways. One only wished i had figured this out before i bought the second one. Now my second one is starting to have problems. These machine are NOT worth the headache. Buyer beware!
