I have an LG Model: RC897T. Video: the picture records fine but the audio is garbled and scratchy. How can I fix?

The most likely issue is the output resolution on the RC397T. It could be set to 1080p (progressive) and needs to be 1080i (interlaced). I've seen this happen with other set top boxes. On the front panel of the DVD/VCR recorder, there is a button labeled Res. It's to the left of the USB port and to the right of the DVD/VCR selection button. Each press of the button will change to a different resolution: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i for HDMI. (The resolution button also changes the component out resolution between 480i and 480p. You may need to step through these choices, as well, even if the component out isn't in use.)

Due to some issues with resetting the resolution, you may need to turn off the DVD recorder and possibly the TV after some of the resolution changes to see any video output change.

I hope this helps. The user manual for the RC897T is available from the support page: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-RC897T.BUSALLK . The manual link is on the right hand side of the page.

Record USB with LG RC897T

How can I use my LG RC897T to record on to usb Flash drives ?
LG RC897T I want to record onto USBs now. Which model of electronic item should I buy for the home?

To record on to a USB flash drive using an LG RC897T, you'll need to follow these steps:

Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the front of the LG RC897T.

Press the "Menu" button on the remote control and select "Recording" from the main menu.

Select "USB Recording" and then "Start" to begin recording. The recording will be saved on the USB flash drive.

As for purchasing an electronic item for home recording, there are several options available, such as digital voice recorders, video cameras, or even smartphones with recording capabilities. You could also consider purchasing an external audio capture device that can be connected to your RC897T to capture audio directly to your computer. It depends on the quality and format of the recording you're looking to make.

Try using the Common Keys such as Power, Volume Up, Volume Down etc. If it works, you'll be able to use it.

Its not a TV issue it has to do with the DVD player

For VHS to DVD, put the tape to dub in the VHS slot and a blank DVD in the DVD tray. Make sure the DVD is compatible with the DVD recorder (see the recommended disc list) and is unfinalized if you are using a R/W disc. Close the tray. Set the unit to VCR mode with the DVD/VCR button. Advance the tape to the place that you want the recording to start. Then press the Dubbing button (either on the remote or the unit itself). Select the recording mode (SP, LP etc), highlight Dubbing then press Enter or Dubbing. Press Stop to interrupt the recording.

For DVD to VHS, put a blank tape in the VCR (make sure the protection tab has not been broken off) and the DVD to duplicate in the DVD tray and close the tray. Put the unit in DVD mode by pressing the DVD/VCR button. Find the point at which you want to start recording the DVD. Again press Dubbing and set up the recording mode and highlight Dubbing and press Enter or Dubbing.

Note that copyprotected content can not be recorded.

The manual for this recorder is on the right side of the page here: http://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/video/LG-dvd-recorder-RC897T.jsp . See page 48 for the screen captures of setting the recording mode part of the dubbing procedure.

I hope this helps.
