The Super Multi DVD recorder, model RCS 7700, supports all storage standards for DVD±R/DVD±RW and DVD-RAM, and eliminates limitations in recording formats. The model enables recording on DVD+R double-layer discs, allowing recording eleven hours of video data - this is approximately twice the capacity of existing products. It can also perform time shift functions designed to record and simultaneously play previously recorded video.

'This product shows off our expertise in DVD recording technologies and will help us aggressively penetrate the global electronics market,' said K H Kim, President, LG Electronics, Middle East and Africa Operations. 'We aim to be global leaders in the storage product segment and will expand the super multi functions in DVD recorders.'

The RCS-7700 recorder enables copying from DVD to VCR or vice versa, and its 8-in-2 multi memory-card slots allow a direct link to eight memory cards such as SMC / CF / MD / MMC / SD / MS / MS Pro / xD to play stored photos (JPEG), music (MP3 / WMA), DivX and other files. It also has an IEEE1394 input, to allow easy linkages to digital camcorders to copy and edit in DVD and VCR.

To introduce the product to customers, LG Electronics showcased this model at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year and at CeBIT in March 2005. Mass production of the recorder is currently underway and products will be available in the region shortly.
