LG DBRH197 I am also having troubles using the timer recording. The unit allows me to set up a recording session. Everything appears fine on the " Timer Record List" e.g the check says that Rec.Ok. When it comes time to record the check changes to "Duplicate Date". There is only one session set up and the date is fine. I cannot work it out.Could some please help me out. Thx

I set the timer to record but most of the time it keeps recording past the time and I don't know how to stop it. Also sometimes I set the timer record and it doesn't even start

Im thinking that maybe you a have a timer recording set. The whole unit wont function at all if you turn it on via power button (remote or unit). There should be a button at the top of the remote called 'timer set' pressing this will disable that mode and allow complete use of everything. but make sure u press timer set again when powering down, otherwise simply turning off the machine will leave the timer recording disabled.

My LG HDD/DVD recorder DBRH197 often freezes a few seconds after it starts to record - either manual or timer recording. Once I press stop the screen displays a 'poor signal' message. I never have signal...

Common problem it is the Unit not the aerial,

Check how much is on the hard drive and reduce it to less tham 50% and all should be well

Magnovox MWR20V6 will not begin recording when it should.

This is more a work-around than a solution, as the unit is failing to function normally; however, having the identical problem I observed that the unit is failing to power on at 2:00 minutes before beginning recording, a necessary step to record to DVD.

My work-around is the following:

1) Set up the timer, inputting necessary date, time, etc. as normal. With the unit still powered on, start the timed recording mode by pressing timer set, as normal. You will see the red clock icon and the DVD logo iluminate on the VFD.

2) Press the Standby-On power button. This will power the unit on in VCR mode. You should at this time be unable to switch from VCR to DVD mode since the DVD is still in timer mode. LEAVE THE UNIT POWERED ON in this manner. The timer will function and the DVD will record normally.

I have no clue why my unit suddenly forgot how to power up on its own in order to record to DVD. If anyone has an answer for that one please post!
