Up for sale is a LG RC897T Super Multi DVD Recorder / VCR Combo unit in good used condition. This versatile 2-in-1 device lets you play and record on both VHS tapes and DVDs, making it perfect for preserving old home videos by dubbing VHS to DVD (or vice versa) with one-touch dubbing.
Key Features:
• Super Multi-Format DVD Recording: Supports DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD+R Double Layer, and DVD-RAM discs with multiple recording modes (XP, SP, LP, EP, etc.).
• Built-in Digital ATSC/NTSC/QAM Tuner: Watch and record over-the-air digital broadcasts or clear QAM cable channels directly — no external box needed for basic use.
• HDMI Output with 1080p Upscaling: Delivers sharp, enhanced video quality from both DVD and VHS playback on modern HDTVs.
• 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR: Excellent audio and video quality for VHS tapes, with SP/SLP recording modes.
• Additional Inputs/Outputs: Front USB port for playing MP3, JPG photos, and MPEG4 files; IEEE 1394 (DV/FireWire) input for digital camcorder dubbing; composite, component, S-Video, coaxial/optical digital audio, and more.
• Other Perks: DVD-to-VCR and VCR-to-DVD dubbing, LG SimpLink compatibility, set-top box controller port (IR blaster support for cable/satellite scheduled recordings).
Condition Notes:
• Fully tested and powers on with a clear, bright display.
• Both the DVD and VCR sections function (tested with a sample disc and tape — playback, fast-forward/rewind, and basic recording functions work). Just finished watching E.T. on vhs with it, works and sounds great!
• Cosmetic condition is good overall with some light wear/scratches on the top and front bezel consistent with age (manufactured May 2010, made in Indonesia).
• Includes the power cord.
• No remote control is included (common for these units; universal remotes or replacements are inexpensive and widely available).
• No original box, manual, or other accessories.*
This is a discontinued model (around 2008–2010 era) but remains popular for VHS tape digitization and classic home theater setups. It’s a great way to transfer and archive your old VHS collection to longer-lasting DVDs while enjoying modern HDMI connectivity.
