Q&A

Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does this BD 690 have a HD tuner for over the air TV ? If so does it have a menu for recording future TV shows ( channel, Time,etc. And does this have a simple set-up for thatANDREW R : Unfortunately no, as with most disc players (DVD, Blu-Ray) this unit does not include a tuner nor is it equipped to function as a DVR.
Shopper : I just bought an LG LCD 55LK520. It is not a 'smart' TV. I want to access Netflix and the internet on it. Is this the right player to do that? I appreciate the advice. Thanks, DouglasSHAYA T : That is correct. ALl you need is a Wi-Fi capable DVD player and you're able to hook to Netflix and others.

Opportunity for Bitterness

The other reviewer spelled it out pretty well. This unit is one of the worst pieces of technology that I've ever owned.....and that's saying something.

GREAT TV STAND

I BOUGHT THE BD690 AS A UPGRADE, HAVING A RC897T I THOUGHT LG WAS THE WAY TO GO, THE PRICE WAS HIGH,THE REMOTE DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK,STREAMING SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE, CANT RECORD TO THE 250 GIG HARDDRIVE. A 6TH GRADER WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB PROGRAMING IT. LG SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS JUST TO SAVE THEIR NAME.

Piece of Junk

We purchased this BDP in April 2012 and did not open the box until April 2013. Towards end of April/May we hooked the BDP with our TV and realized that it refused to start. It kept giving us error and never started. We bought this model at a high price and had to trash it. Wasted money and expired warranty before we even used it!

Worst device I have ever purchased.

I've had the BD 690 for over a year now, so it's passed the warranty period. I have contacted LG on many occasions trying to resolve various problems. Most annoying was the inability to update firmware and driver. Impossible to update directly online. Was able to download updates to computer then USB drive occasionally, but usually had to have LG send update on a CD. Now the device will not recognize the harddrive. To make matters even worse, the blueray player no longer works. On the bright side, it does make a stunningly lovely paper weight.

This is my second LG 3D Blu-ray player. The first stopped working after a software upgrade. Since this model had a 250G harddrive built-in, it make storing convenient. So far, so good.

Unreliable

Bought this item in Dec. 2011 and used infrequently as it is located in a second home. Watched a BluRay one night and the next day unit would not turn on. Resetting the unit did not work. Researched the website and found others reporting similar problems. They stated the unit must be returned to LG for repair. Am waiting to ship back to LG right now. Very disappointed.

Already traded up from a BD650!

This is the type item that I was looking for. I can now keep my music and home videos on the drive and look at them with ease. I have this linked with an LG 3D TV and a Sony home theater system. Everything works as it should. I love it.

THIS IS THE ONE TO GET!!!

This one has it all and it peformes flawlessly. Blu-ray,dvd and cd all play very well. If you were like me and bought a tv with out internet aps, you can still have them by getting the bd690. I hate dealing with all my cd's finding the one I want when I want it and changing them in and out of the player. Also some of them will get scratched sooner or later. I saved all of them to the hard drive in this machine and now listen to what I want when I want. I do alot of photography and most of it is in my computer but putting special photos on the hard drive in this machine makes it easy and fast to show them to family and friends.
