      If a disc recorded on your LG DVD Recorder won't play on another player, it may be because the disc was recorded in Video mode. In this case, finalize the disc. If the disc was recorded in VR mode, the other player must be RW compatible to play it.

    What to do if LG LRA-850 DVD Recorder cannot record?
    • M
      Matthew MasseyAug 31, 2025
      If your LG DVD Recorder isn't recording, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure there's sufficient blank space on the disc, or try using another disc. The source you're attempting to record may be copy-protected, in which case, recording is not possible. If setting the recording channel, make sure to select the channel on the recorder’s built-in TV tuner. Also, if recording to a Video mode disc, copy-once protected programs cannot be recorded; use a VR mode formatted disc instead.

      If your LG DVD Recorder won't start playback, first ensure that a disc is inserted correctly with the playback side down and is placed correctly inside the guide. Make sure the disc is a playable type, considering the disc type, color system, and regional code. Clean the disc if it's dirty. Also, check if the Rating level is set and, if so, cancel the Rating function or change the rating level.

      If some channels are skipped when using PR/CH (+/-) on your LG DVD Recorder, it's because those channels are not stored in the recorder. Use the Channel Edit feature to restore channels.
