My LG R299H HDD/DVD recorder initially read any CD or DVD. Now it will not read any DVD or some CD that were purchased. When I insert the media it attempts to read but then opens the tray and displaya message that the media cannot be read. Some CD's are read and played without any problems. I suspect some setting is incorrect.
-   Have an RC299, was playing disks on region free fine for 1 year. Then stopped suddenly with Disc error on two of 4 new legitimate movies purchased. Still plays local region but wont play out of region disks. DVD shows as region 0 and congrats on region free. Does it only work once ?? if you change the dvd again or use another hack like chanfin Option 5 to FF it does not help and dvd's will not play. Sigh does this mean I ahve to purchase a new dvd player to play my movies-   francined102

-   LG RC299 It used to play everything, now it only plays dvd disks that have been backed up but wont play original dvd. It should play region 4 but it now tells me "no disk" . I have removed region code with 0000000 but it made no difference.-   Guest

We had the same problem where disks were being 'spat out' as "unknown". Took it to an LG Service Centre, got it repaired under warranty, but now it's happening again! Not happy, complained to LG, but I don't think they'll do anything!
