LG DR1F9H DVD Recorder 14-in-2 Memory Card Slot, 1080i HDMI Output

I purchased this LG unit within the past week. I connected it to my LG LCD TV using a Monster HDMI cable without any problem. I have played commercial DVDs, DVD R disks, DVD-R disks, and DVD RW mini disks for my camcorder. All have played well although one commercial disk did freeze on the menu screen tonight. I had to unplug the unit to solve this problem. I have also viewed pictures on a Sony memory stick without any problem although the image on the TV screen is not the best. The slideshow feature is kind of fun if you have a number of pictures on a memory card. One thing to note is that since I have a Sony camcorder, the digital video input does not work for me since Sony uses their Firewire or i-Link or whatever it is called. I should be able to hook my camcorder up using the RCA inputs instead. Lastly, I did record TV programs onto a DVD disk without much hassle. Like any DVD recorder, you do have to initialize each disk and then finalize it when the recording is completed. I was able to record from both satellite programming as well as local programming from an antenna. As long as this unit does not continue to freeze during playback, I would give it a strong four stars. If issues do develop, I will update this review as necessary.
