LG RC897T Factory Reset

I saw your fix regarding the LG 897T for allowing DiVx dvd's to be played. I did what you said, but did not know how to get out of the menu so I killed the power to the 897t. Now my remote will not control the 897t at all. I know that the remote is good because it can control my tv. Is there a factory reset for the 897? I am really stuck.Thanks for any help!!!!Eric Malinowski(716) 289-4983 Cell

You can find the remote control codes for different brands of devices from

Hope that helps! If that didn’t work, you will probably have to contact the manufacturer to get the code..

SOURCE: Need code for Viore TV to program LG RC897T DVD/VHS Recorder

If your oneforall remote didn't come with the page that gives you the set codes, you can try 991 as the code. So in this order ;
Press tv, wait fir it to blink
press 9 9 1, then power
(it should blink again)
press tv again - it should set

***IF THIS DIDN'T WORK***
SLOWLY press power, then tv, wait,
then power, then tv, wait,
After several times it should set.
(Each time you do this, it tries yet another code to set)

SOURCE: While having one too many

In 480p resolution, you highlight the 16.9 aspect ratio from the TV Aspect menu option in Setup and then type 1397139 on the remote. This brings up the service screen with all options and machine information.
Optimal (best) settings are as follows.
1 : f 2 2 : 35 (this is DivX)
3 : 93 (macrovision?) 4 : f f (Vcd/Svcd)
5 : f f (region free) 6 : c0 (c0 = LG logo)(ce = Insignia)
7 : 04 8 : 15
All I can say is Keep these and and dont mess around or you can kill it....

Any way of dissabling the DivX code so I can Play My own DivX dvd's?

No! these units are pre-programed from the factory, you would need to go online to LG and contact customer support and the technical department to see if this is possible.

I get a no disc message on my LG RC897T when I try to play a factory disc, however it plays any disc that I have burned on my computer. It also plays cds fine.

Hello,
how long have you been using this player? I suspect the laser (lens) of the player. I think the laser (lens) is weak that's why it cannot read data/files on DVD discs.
To confirm if actually its a laser problem, insert an Audio CD into the player and see if will play. If it plays, then obviously, your laser (lens) is weak. But if it doesn't play Audio CD, then it might still be the laser (lens) or a mechanism problem.
Get a lens cleaner, use it to clean the lens. If that doesn't solve the problem, get a screw driver, open the player's cover so that you can gain access to the lens, use a cotton board to clean the surface of the lens. This should clean dust or dirt that might be on the lens.
If non of the above solves the problem, then know that you need to replace the laser to a brand new one.
To replace the lens, remove the bad laser, use it as a sample to get exactly the same type and do the replacement. Note that replacing a laser (lens) needs a professional touch, so if you cannot replace the laser, get it to a repairman to fix it for you.
Once this us done, your player will play all DVD discs again.
Good luck.
