Top 20 LG RH177 DVD Recorder/HDD Recorder - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Hi.

That means that Region code is not set on US, if the problem happens only on one single DVD, then the DVD may have the wrong regional code.


You can make your LG region free performing the procedure here:LG RH177 region code

The lazer eye might be dirty. If that don't then the lazer pack has to be replaced.

If you take a scart lead from you sky box and plug it into av2 on you dvd,then select av2 on the dvd as your record channel.Put the sky on play and the dvd on record.hope this helps

If you mean to play DVD’s that you may have purchased in another country the see below

For that you need to do a Google for "mymodel region free" or "region free hack"

Not all DVD players are capable of this often very simple modification that many manufacturers build into DVD player. (Usually just involves the remote control and a combination of keys)

Your search will turn up a lot of sharks that want money for the hack (fix)

IGNORE THEM

There are a lot of sites where the information is free.

If after opening up the region free parameter you still have issues and you still want to play your dvd's from around the world you might want to consider another one

I am STILL (lauren) unsure of FIXYA's policy on this topic and am awaiting further clarification on the issue with regards to handing out these codes as this is not HACKING in the same sense as pirate software etc. it is just enabling an extra feature that the manufacturer provided.
I would prefer not to get my @ss kicked. That is why I can only give you the search terms rather than site links or specific information

you need to replace either the mpeg pcb or the dvd loader assy.

Hi

I have the same problem on my RH 278 It appears that the you need to open the recorder and clean the switches. On this forum there is some pictures of how to do same. Search some more on the site at


Generic problem for all DVD Players DVD tray will not stay closed

You need to go into the menu and set the "av-2 out put" to DTV, that should solve the problem, remembering to connect the "in" scart on the recorder to AV-2 on the tv.If there is only 1 scart on the recorder it will be a 2 way connection, sending and recieving a signal.

If you can get the cover off of it have a look and see if the fan or fans are working properly...if not working it can cause the dvd player to over heat and freeze.......Hope this helps

Hello - I am just wondering if you managed to sort this problem as exactly the same situation has just happened to me.

yes you can, first you have to connect that HDD to your computer and transfer all u wanna, and your done!

Unplug the recorder from the wall, and restart and check you you get the same error.
Try clean the lens head with a len cleaner disk. That should fix the issue. If still no go then you need to take it to a repair center, as the laser lens or the laser pickup assemble could be faulty.

Let me know if you need further assistance

Thanks

1 open the tray in dvd mode

3 it will ask you if you want to become region free just
