First, unplug the unit for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. If the tray still doesn't open, gently pull it manually while pressing the open/close button. Avoid using excessive force.
Can I record from DVD to VHS or vice versa?
Yes, you can dub from VHS to DVD or DVD to VHS. For DVD to VHS, insert the source disc and a blank VHS tape, select the recording mode, and press record. Ensure the media is not copy-protected.

Tuning in a video channel on your TV

Notes

  • The output frequency of this video recorder (VCR) is set at UHF channel 36. If channel 36 is already used by another TV station, or if the picture is distorted, you can change the transmitter channel of your VCR. Stages 5 \~ 8 will show you how to change the output frequency of your VCR.
  • Your TV receives signals from the video recorder (VCR) like another TV station. You have to select a channel number on your TV and tune it in so that you may watch video tapes. If you have used a SCART cable then your TV should already have a dedicated video channel built into it, usually called AV.

3 Tune this channel until the video picture is sharp and the sound is clear.

If you have used a SCART cable you will not have to tune your TV, simply select the AV channel. The AV channel is already pre-tuned for optimum video playback on your TV.

4 Store this channel on your TV. You will need to look at the TV instruction book if you do not know how to do this.

5 Only carry out stages 5 \~ 8 if you cannot obtain clear video playback as described in stages 1 \~ 4. Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch videos.

Make sure that your VCR is in standby pressing POWER on the remote control (Only the clock will be displayed.).

Using your unit for the very first time

LG VC8706P1K - Using your unit for the very first time - 1

Notes

  • For the following steps we assume that you have just connected your video recorder for the very first time. To make tuning TV stations an easy task your VCR incorporates the Automatic Channel Memory System (ACMS). This system will automatically tune and store TV channels to your VCR. While this is happening the clock (date & time) in the video recorder will be set automatically.
  • The ACMS system relies on signals transmitted by the TV Station, for auto clock setting and station identification. If the TV broadcast signal is weak or fluctuates your VCR may not detect the necessary information and will be unable to identify station names and sort them correctly. To overcome this problem please turn to the MANUAL TUNING section of this book on page 15.

Instant Timer Recording (ITR)

Your VCR allows you to make recordings using a variety of simple methods:

Instant Timer Recording (ITR) start recording immediately for a set period of time or until the video cassette runs out.

Timer Recording you may record at a later time (up to 1 month from the present). Up to 7 of these automatic recordings may be set.

Your VCR incorporates Long Play (LP) which enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on a video cassette. For example an E-180 will record up to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP); using LP you will be able to record up to 360 minutes. Please note there will be a slight loss in picture and sound quality when using LP.

- If Timer record events Overlap...

Make sure that the preset times of the timer recording events do not overlap. If they do, the earlier programme will always be given priority.

Example:

Programme 1 is programmed to start at 16:00 and end at 17:00. Programme 2 is programmed to start at 16:30 and end at 17:30. (In this case, Programme 1 will be recorded in its entirety, but only the last 30 minutes of Programme 2 will be recorded.)

- The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) system adjusts the start and end times of a timer record event. This can be particularly useful with sports events which may run over into extra time. The PDC signal is transmitted by the broadcaster and this controls your video recorder's timer. Currently only a limited number of TV companies transmit PDC signals.

Please make sure that when recording from channels that do not broadcast PDC that you turn PDC OFF.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

  • An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the ".mp3" file extension "MP3 files".
  • The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3".

About WMA(Window Media Audio)

  • An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology.
  • WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

  1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1 kHz (MP3), 22.05-44.1 kHz (WMA)

  2. Bit rate / within 32-320 kbps (MP3), 32-128 kbps (WMA)

  3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"

  4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use "Easy-CD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system.

  5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

  6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate ".mp3" or ".wma" extension e.g. "*******.MP3" or "*******.WMA".

  7. Do not use special letters such as "/ : * ? " <> " etc.

  8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3/WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Recordings

  • Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to read the disc's contents. If you don't see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc.
  • Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650.
  • Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of disc.
  • When you are using software such as "Easy CD Creator" to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure that all the selected files have the ".jpg" extensions when copying into the CD layout.
  • If the files have ".jpe" or ".jpeg" extensions, please rename them as ".jpg" files.
  • File names without ".jpg" extension will not be able to be read by this DVD player. Even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
