LG RH177 DVD Recorder/HDD Recorder - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hi there, I gve you a link to the manual in another post :) Did you find it :-) You need to enter you model number, and search from this page and it will give you a PDF

Hi. I have this machine and it will only fast transfer if the original hdd recording has NOT been edited (i.e part deleted/divided/combined). This is also in the manual p51/52.

Hope this helps.

You need to put the disk back into the recorder, select the finalize function from the onscreen menu, and follow prompts. Do you have an owners manual for the unit?

Hi there. You need to "finalise" the dvd before you can view it.

I had the SAME problem...sort of. American Gangster UR got to a real cliff hanger of a place, and then would go no farther. When I tried to push a forward arrow, it started rewinding. When I put another DVD in my player to see if it was the DVD or my player, it ruined THAT DVD too. Now I get the message "DISC ERROR," no matter what I play, so I have two broken DVDs and one broken DVD players! HELP!

I beleive you can only dub from hdd to disk,
Try formatting the disk first.
good luck

The problem has fixed itself, thank you

the original program must be unedited - see response to http://www.fixya.com/support/t384103-lg_hdd_dvd_recorder_rh177

go to dvd set up then scroll dow to lock then push 0 seven times

Must be connected by now I guess :)

Press Setup
Scroll to Lock
Press 0 (7 times)
A message will appear saying it is region free

Could be the dvd player/lens. The player sucks up dust through the
player's caddy and after a while it won't read discs anymore.
A cd cleaner or a good (gently dosed) blow with compressed air might help.

most of the LG RH177 have such problem...
...so my solutiong is changing the internal drive with the computer DVD-RW(IDE interface)but it need a lot of modification..
.. finally, i able to fit the computer dvd writer into it ....

it should be the internal HDD failure...befause the player fails to checking the HDD during starting up ...

good luck !

The cd tray eject after put in the DVD movies, but VCD working fine...it is means that the drive's region code haven't set yet .(please refer to user manual to setting the region code) ..or unplug the recorder drive from the dvd player,using the computer setting to change the region code by connecting to computer's IDE cable .

For those users who just bought their machines, I would suggest warranty service. Roxanne2 should contact Philips directly with the seiral number, and they should be able to say which store they sold it to. That unit probably has a bad internal DVD writer drive.
The following solution should only be done if your machine is out of warranty unless you get permission from the manufacturer, as it will likely void the warranty otherwise:
Unplug the unit, disconnect all cables and move it to as static-free of an area as possible. Remove the cover, which usually means removing a lot of screws. Most DVD recorders have regular drives like you see in PCs. There is usually a tiny hole in the lower-right part of the drive that you can stick a small wire into, such as an unbent paper clip. You can then manually pull the drive open to get the DVD out.

make sure you set dubbing speed to sp ,short play,thats the default setting,then go to start up menu and finalize disk
