Keep faaaaaar away from LG's recorder.
I found another two critical issues from this unit:
1. The TV tuner on it is very poorly designed. The TV signal
demodulated by this unit is VERY grainy. I had a feeling I was
watching a VHS video!
2. Even when the unit if OFF( at it's stand by mode) it's RF unit is
still feeding noise to the RF cable! I won't be able to receive a
crystal sharp TV signal until I UNPLUG this unit's power supply! Can
not belive this.
What a piece of Junk.

And by the way this unit does support dvd-ram. But... The disk comes
with it is a very cheap DVD-RW(the kind you can only find in a dollar
shop). So I didn't get a chance to test it's dvd-ram handling
capability( and not likely planning to test it anyways).

Cheers
Feng

1000% surely I will be returning this unit. I have already started
missing the Panasonic 15 recorder a little bit
I think I will wait for the Panasonic's HDD recorder's price to drop a
little bit then get one to have a try. Hopefully it won't dissapoint
me
By the way the RF unit is the most difficult part in the modern
electrical devices to design. One gap between two parts can easily
became an air capacity. So the RF unit can reflect the manufactuer's
technical developent capability big time. Panasonic apparently has a
lot of experience in RF design.

They have had a lot longer than LG to get things right :O)

There seem to be some new panasonics coming along so keep your eye out
for price drops.
