I have a DVD Recorder/Video Casette Recorder Model RC199H I have never used it for dubbing from VCR to DVD. Now I want to start:(first try failed!) In the manual it says I have to "enter record mode" EP, LP, SP or XP . What do those letters stand for? Where do I find these specifications? on the VHS? I can figure out how to trancfervideo recordings to DVD using my LG model
Dont use xp mode. Here are the definitions:
SP is short for Standard Play. Standard play allows you to record information onto the tape the way it was intended, with no quality loss. By default, VCRs and camcorders will record your footage as standard play. On a standard VHS tape, recording footage in SP mode will yield 2 hours of video.
LP is short for Long Play. Long play allows you to record much more information at the expense of quality. It accomplishes this by reducing the speed the tape is run through the VCR. As the tape speed decreases, the quality will also decrease. You’ll notice this effect when comparing a tape recorded at LP versus one recorded at SP, especially after years of storage. The LP tape will appear more blurred, have more tracking and color issues than tapes recorded at SP. A VHS tape recorded at LP can hold roughly 4 hours of video.
EP/SLP is short for extended play. Extended play is similar to LP, but actually provides you even more recording time. EP was primarily used to document long, continuous events without the need to change video tapes every 2 hours. Due to the fact that the video is not of optimal quality, many times this setting was not used in order to preserve the quality of your footage. Tapes recorded at EP usually are the most problematic after years of storage, displaying a wide variety of tape damage symptoms including color loss, audio loss, frame skipping, and tracking issues.

You have to go into the Home menu and select setup. At the bottom left there should be an icon that looks like a dvd disc. Select that and then go to finalize and select that to finalize the disc. After that is complete it should play on any dvd player. I had this problem and I got through to LG's customer service line and had them talk me through it. After I finalized the disc, it worked.

To read the disc on other machines, you need to finalize the DVD in the machine that you wrote to the disc. Press Home on the remote, and go to the Disc Settings menu. Select the second line (Finalize) and press the right arrow. With Finalize selected press Enter. Then select OK and press Enter. (Please note that you need to leave space on the disc for the finalization information to be stored.) Wait for the finalization to be completed.
If you do not have the original remote, you will need one that matches the Home button feature. An exact replacement remote is available here: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&uid=0&m=RC199H&uuid=12978352098280 .
The manual for the LG RC199H is available at retrevo: http://www.retrevo.com/support/LG-RC199H-DVD-Players-manual/id/366ag209/t/2/ . You will need to answer a question to prove that you are actually using the computer.
I hope this helps.
