Problem for LG RH299 DVD Recorder / VCR Combo

LG RH299H HDD/DVD does not read purchased DVD's




By brianc140 on Nov 18, 2008

" "
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
