Why is there no sound from my LG DR165 DVD Recorder?
If you're not getting any sound, first check that the equipment connected with the audio cable is set to receive audio signal output by selecting the correct input mode on the audio receiver. Also, make sure the audio cables are securely connected and that the connected equipment is powered on. If the issue persists, the audio connecting cord may be damaged; consider replacing it.
Why does the remote control for my LG DR165 not work?

Why is there no picture on my LG DVD Recorder?
There are several reasons why you might not see a picture. First, ensure your TV is set to the correct video input mode to receive the signal from the recorder. Second, check that the video cable is securely connected. Finally, verify that your TV is turned on.

What to do if my LG DR165 does not start playback?
If the recorder doesn't start playback, make sure a disc is inserted and that the disc indicator in the display window is lit. Ensure that you are using a playable disc, checking its type, color system, and regional code. Also, verify the disc is placed correctly with the playback side down on the disc tray guide. Clean the disc if it is dirty. Lastly, check if the Rating level is set and, if so, cancel the Rating function or change the rating level.
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.
Why is timer recording not possible on my LG DR165 DVD Recorder?
Timer recording may not work if the clock in the recorder is not set to the correct time. Also, the timer may have been programmed incorrectly, so reprogram the Timer. If the timer record indicator light does not appear after programming, try to reprogram the Timer.
Why is the playback picture poor on my LG DVD Recorder?
If the playback picture quality is poor, the disc may be dirty. Try cleaning the disc.
Why is the picture from the external recorder distorted on my LG DR165?
If the picture from an external recorder is distorted, it may be because the video signal from the external component is copy-protected. Try connecting the component directly to your TV.
