LG DR787T 1080i Upconverting DVD Recorder with Built In Tuner

what the hell were manufacturers thinking when they produced a piece of garbage like this where you can't use it without the remote useless without the remote you'll see why in a minute this is unbelievable but this is from LG so what do you expect this is an LG lra 850 this is a I know looks like a DVD player but it's actually more than that this is a DVD recorder it'll record on DVD - Bob - RW - R + RW + + R and you know we shouldn't have had to have - R + + our disks should have been just DVD RW in DVD R there was no need for this + but that's because Sony wanted to have their own format this was given to me and this is how I received the unit just the bear unit itself the problem being is that these units if you don't have a remote control they are kind of useless I'll show you why like why did they even bother yes there's the power button on the left side there's a power button but
