Why can't I record with my LG DR165 DVD Recorder or did not record successfully?
There are several reasons that could prevent recording. The disc may not have enough blank space, so try using another disc. The source you're trying to record might be copy protected, meaning you cannot record it. If you're setting the recording channel, ensure the channel is tuned on the recorder’s built-in TV tuner, not the TV's tuner. Also, when recording to a Video mode disc, copy-once material cannot be recorded; use a VR mode formatted disc instead.
