      First, check if there is sufficient blank space on the disc; if not, use another disc. If you are trying to record a copy-protected source, it is not possible to record it. When setting the recording channel, make sure the channel is tuned on the recorder’s built-in TV tuner, not the TV's tuner. If recording to a Video mode disc, copy-once material requires a VR mode formatted disc.

      If you're having trouble playing a disc recorded on your LG DVD Recorder on another player: * If the disc was recorded in Video mode, finalize the disc. * Note that some players will not play even a finalized disc recorded in Video mode. * If the disc was recorded in VR mode, the other player must be RW compatible to play it. * Discs recorded with copy-once material cannot be played on other players.
