Why is there no sound on my LG DVD VCR Combo?
Check that the audio connection is securely connected. Also, verify the input source setting on your amplifier or the connection to the amplifier. If the unit is in scan, slow motion, or pause mode, this could also cause the issue. Try selecting another audio channel or source using the AUDIO button. If the audio signal does not come through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, check the “Audio” setup setting.
Why is my LG RC897T DVD VCR Combo remote control not working?
Ensure the remote control is pointed at the remote sensor of the unit and that it is not too far away. Also, make sure there is no obstacle in the path between the remote control and the unit. Check if the batteries in the remote control are exhausted. If you recently replaced the batteries, the remote’s manufacturer code may have returned to the default setting; in this case, reset the code.
What to do if my LG RC897T DVD VCR Combo won't start playback?
Make sure you have inserted a playable disc, with the playback side down, and placed correctly on the disc tray inside the guide. Clean the disc if necessary. Also, try to cancel the Rating function or change the rating level.

What happens if two or more timer programs overlap on LG RC897T DVD VCR Combo?
The earlier program takes priority. When the earlier program finishes, the later program starts. If two programs are set to start at exactly the same time, the program entered first takes priority. If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete successfully.
Why my LG RC897T cannot play MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 files?
The files may not be recorded in a format that the unit can play. The unit may not support the codec of the MPEG4 movie file, or the resolution is higher than the unit can support.
Why I cannot enter a timer program on my LG RC897T DVD VCR Combo?
A recording may already be underway, or the time you’re trying to set has already passed. There may already be 16 timer programs set.
Why does picture noise appear on my LG RC897T DVD VCR Combo?
Picture noise can appear if you are playing a disc recorded in a color system that is different from your TV, or if the video signal from the external component is copy-protected. Set the resolution that your TV can accept.
Why can't I play a disc recorded on my LG RC897T DVD VCR Combo on another player?
Finalize the disc. Check the disc compatibility of the player. Ensure the disc is placed correctly on the disc tray inside the guide. Discs recorded with copy-once material cannot be played on other players.
