After I bought one by Stiftung Warentest positive review ended DVD player from LG last year and still am very happy with it, I was so far convinced of the brand LG. Unfortunately, the hi-fi VCR LV 4747 continue this brand enthusiasm only conditionally. Self shots are the LV 4747 contradict with clear color noise and in the upper third of the picture the image flickers, which is very annoying and can only be remedied by the insufficient opportunities for optimization. Fremdaufnahmen like the LV 4747 even less. Whereas other recorders at forward or rewind automatically the time and tape counter activated when this recorder is happening nothing. Only on the remote control must be called a sub-menu, which shows at which point the tape is being rewound. If you want to locate a particular point in the film, is provided with this recorder to a severe ordeal. Even more defects in ease of use you have to accept. Conclusion: Those looking for a cheap (second) recorders, only satisfactory image accepted - albeit with good sound - and you back is in the ease of use, which is well served with the LV 4747.
