LG RC199H DVD Recorder/VCR - Page 3 Questions & Answers
Avi format files reading problem
I think its due to lack of supporting files. Normally there will be some files in the DVD other than the .Avi files. Try making a new DVD with a well known DVD making software like Nero or video editing softwares like Ulead,Adobe Premier etc.
LG RC199H (DVD Freezes)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems that your particular unit has a problem within the processing section not the optics. Bad or dirty optics could cause the video to freeze up, but not the entire unit. Don't waste your time on this one. The replacement parts cost will exceed a replacement unit. your problem is not unusual. I have seen it before. Usually it shows up during the warranty period so that it is repaired at no cost to the consumer. Once resolved, I have not seen the problem occur again.

Dvd playback
Clean the DVD lens with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and a Qtip. Be careful not to press down too hard. Gently clean the lens all around. Changing Qtips if you see anty signs of debris or dirt on the tip.
Dubbing VHS to DVD
You have to go into the Home menu and select setup. At the bottom left there should be an icon that looks like a dvd disc. Select that and then go to finalize and select that to finalize the disc. After that is complete it should play on any dvd player. I had this problem and I got through to LG's customer service line and had them talk me through it. After I finalized the disc, it worked.
LG RC797T Won't read disks
I had this problem last year. It had to be sent back to the company to replace the entire dvd unit; however, I found that it probably had been caused by electrical surges. Once I got it back after repair (replacement) I put the best possible surge protector I could buy on it and have not had a problem with that issue again. The idea of a surge problem came about because I blew 3 Onkyo stereos while still in warranty several years ago and they did the same thing- would not read discs, would say no disc, etc. & the protector ended the problem.
LG DVD recorder/VCR Combo problems
you need to replace the dvd loader(the whole setup, the draw/tray,laser sled assy ,etc) statewide sell
parts for lg.unless you know an authorised lg repair agent.too bad you dont know me, lol.
(ps,its not in the manual,cuz there is nothing you can really do about it without serviceing the unit)
Finalizing a disk
I have an LG-199H too. I had to sent it to LG for repair ($69!) after a few months because it would no longer recognize disks, even if i had recorded them on that machine.
Anyhow, I think DVD+R disks have to be finalized. I'm not sure DVD-R do.
After the repair, mine is working pretty good.
Need Manual
You can easily download a pdf of the manual from the LG site. I looked it up myself.
I have a LG dvd
player 5083 inserted the disc the correct way into the draw but the machine does not play the disc a very slight humming noise is heard then it spits the drawer back out
Clean the Lens: Use a DVD cleaning disc to clean the lens. If the problem persists, consider professional cleaning.
Test Other Discs: Try playing different DVDs to see if the issue occurs consistently. If it's specific to one disc, that disc might be the problem.
Check for Updates: Make sure your DVD player's firmware is updated. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for firmware updates.
Try a Different TV: Connect your DVD player to a different TV to see if the noise disappears. If it does, the issue might be with your TV.
The hum is simply the player trying to read the disc. It can't so, it spits it out.
Remember that prolonged use of a malfunctioning DVD player could potentially cause damage. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional repair or replacement
