Recording Capabilities: DVD recording capability in all formats: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R Dual Layer, DVD-RAM as well as recording to VHS HiFi. Other recording features include: Bi-directional dubbing of non-copy-protected DVD and VHS tapes, timer recording from built-in TV tuner, and Chase Play (simultaneous record and play) with DVD-RAM discs. In addition, DVD-RAM affords extensive on-disc editing capabilities, and DVD+R DL allows twice the video time on a disc than the single layer recordable DVD formats.
Playback Compatibility: This Combo is playback compatible with all recordable DVD formats and VHS tape, plus standard DVD-Video, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, SVCD, DivX, MPEG-4, MP3-CD, WMA-CD and JPEG formats. The inclusion of DivX, MGEG4, MP3-CD/ WMA, and JPEG on the playback side makes the LRY-517 very versatile for those that want to playback these files through their audio and video system, rather than just a PC. However, DVD-Audio and SACD playback, common on some DVD players, are not supported on the LRY-517.
Additional Playback Compatibility: In addition to extensive playback compatibility with VHS and various DVD and CD video and audio formats, the LG DVD/VCR recorder combo also has a built-in card reader that supports CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard, SD (Secure Digital), xD-Picture Card, and SmartMedia, allowing display of digital camera photos on your television. The memory card reader is for playback only, the user cannot copy digital photos to DVD or CD from the memory card reader provided on the LG Combo.
Video and Audio Inputs: The LG combo has the usual complement of video and audio inputs common on DVD recorders. The inputs provided are: Two standard composite video, S-Video (front panel only), and one RF for analog video sources as well as 1 IEEE 1394 (FireWire/iLink) input for digital video transfer from miniDV and Digital8 camcorders. The LRY-517 does not have component video inputs. It must be noted that very few DVD recorders include the component video input option.
Video and Audio Outputs: The LG combo has the audio and video outputs present on most DVD recorders and players. The outputs include: One S-video, one RF, one component video, one composite, one analog stereo audio, one digital optical audio, and one coaxial digital audio. Progressive scan is supported via the component video outputs, while Dolby Digital and DTS are supported by the digital optical and digital coaxial audio outputs. The LRY-517 does not offer HDMI or DVI outputs that are becoming common on DVD players.
Additional Features: Additional features of the LG combo include: Built-in NTSC tuner for recording television programming, DVD-to-VHS and VHS-to-DVD dubbing for non-copyprotected video content, 27MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion; 192kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion, Black level adjustment, Vocal Off, and complete DVD disc navigation features, such as slow motion, zoom, and programmable play.
