Rating:  - * Stay away from this ... Same problem as everybody else - it stops recognizing any DVD. Mine manifested the problem one week after the warranty expired. Rating: - * Lousy Product ... I've had this for a year and it has progressively had problems reading disks of all types - blank, commercial movies, disks burned by others, disks it burned only a few months before. I hope someone organizes a class action lawsuit. I will never purchase another LG product again. They've been advertising that they make quality products but nothing could be further from the truth. Rating: - * Serious Design Problems ... There is a serious design problem with these units. I had mine for about a year and only used it a couple of times, as it was in a vacation home. It will not read any DVD's. All I get is a spinning disc icon on the TV. This is a piece of junk! Do not waste your money. Oh, I forgot to mention that there are no LG authorized service dealers in the area and their central repair service center will not work on them if you do not have your original receipt. Again, I say -- this is a piece of junk and do not buy it!! Rating: - * Great if it would work for more than a few months ... I've had this recorder for a year and it has had problems after the first 3 months. At first it worked as it was supposed to. But after 3 months it started malfunctioning on playing commercial DVDs, wouldn't recognize disks it had made and that played fine before. Now it won't even finalize disks it just wrote. This device is way too expensive to have these malfunctions. I have been very careful in the way I handled this player. I have another player that I use for most viewing and I only used this one to record infrequently, yet it malfunctioned with little use. Not recommended. Rating: - * Not ready for prime time ... You would be well-advised to avoid this product. My son-in-law and I both bought one of these at the same time and have had the same (poor) experience. The playback quality of DVDs and VCRs are both excellent - when they work. However, this thing will not read half of the discs I put in it, including discs it has made itself. When you call their customer service, they recommend that you buy a DVD cleaner. Please! Even in the best of times, it takes an inordinate time just to spin-up a disc and read it. Many times after reading it for several minutes, it will reject the disc. Sometimes if you just close the door, it will read it. This product is not ready for prime time. |
DVD features
Yes, the unrated edition of The Dukes of Hazzard has nudity... but no, it's not of Jessica Simpson, but topless sorority girls. There are also two sets--"PG-13" and "unrated"--of deleted scenes and bloopers. The four minutes of unrated deleted scenes (supplementing the 25 minutes of "PG-13" deleted scenes) include more sorority girls and a menage à trois for Johnny Knoxville . The five minutes of unrated bloopers (the same amount as the "PG-13" bloopers) feature a few more girls but mostly bad language. Featurettes discuss the Daisy Duke short shorts (and show how you can make your own), car stunts, and the making of the movie (narrated by a cast member of the original TV series). --David Horiuchi
