LG LST-3510A HDTV Receiver / Hi-Format DVD Player
Nice picture when it worked
I thought the quality of the picture was good, and I liked that I could have DVDs upconverted to high definiton outputs. <br /> <br />However the unit had a lot of trouble locking onto over-the-air signals, and without a paid-for cable/satelite source it was frustrating to get HD reception, depsite being near strong signal s from multiple stations. <br /> <br />The remote control is horribly designed. I constantly end up skipping to prev/next scenes instead of scanning back or forward. Idiotic choices in the design of buttons and controls. The system is set for english but on startup it always says \\"Inicial\\" and menus come up in foreign languages despite having chosen english. <br /> <br />Finally the DVD drive now fails to play every single disc I put in. After about an hour of the movie it will start hanging, skipping scenes, jumping to earlier scenes or back to the menu. No disc will play completely and I must now return the unit for warranty service after just 7 months.  <br /> <br />I can't be happy about a defective unit--even if it turns out to be a rarity. I've never purchased an LG product ever before, and since I've already encountered a lemon--I will be less likely to try this brand inthe future. If you choose to purchase make sure you can return it without penalty for full refund. Play the hell out of the unit in the first 14-30 days and determine if you should keep it. I wish I had returned mine now.
