RCA DRC247 DVD Player

The TV guardian didn't work on this unit and this is the only reason to purchase this unit. Read more

Had a Zenith DVD changer that lasted nearly seven years which I paid $100 in 1999. It finally went out a few days ago after several hundreds of hours of use. Replaced it with this RCA unit. The two main reasons I chose this model were price and playability. I burn DVD's using the DVD+ format. Many DVD players have difficulty reading this format. This unit plays them just fine along with almost any format currently on the market. The pitcure is crisp and clear with no problems. Buttons are a little small on the unit and the remote, but spaced far enough apart that even my fat fingers manager to hit the correct ones. If I get half the life from this unit as I did my previous one I will be happy, as I only paid $50.00(new) for it. All in all I am impressed thus far. Read more

Plays all divx avi's i get off the internet with no problems. KvCDs are also np. Everything ive tried to run on there has work great. One thing that i may be defective is the rewind. It works, but <<x2 speed is like x16 speed. Its so super fast its hard to clock. You could never use <<x16 speed because by the time you got to x16 times rewind, you'd be back at the beginning of the movie. Just a heads up. Great item for the price i paid(~$45.00 w/ shipping).

I just got an LCD TV and bought this DVD player for it at WalMart (the scariest place on earth). I hooked it up to my TV using the component plugs, which are supposed to create better color on an LCD tv. If an image made up of only black and red is what you're looking for, than this is the player for you. I tried hooking it up through the normal RCA plugs and it worked fine (so thats why I give it 2 starrs rather than none), but i want it to work through the component plugs so now I have to go back to the last place I ever want to be to return it. Thanks RCA! I know it is the DVD player, not my TV, that is defective because I tried hooking up a different DVD player, a Panasonic thats 3-4 years old, and it worked fine through the component plugs.

The worst DVD player I ever had. Firstly, the player sucks with audio. I am sure some do not notice, but if you keep looking at the mouths of people talking, you can clearly see the audio is not in sync with the video. There is some sort of small delay with the audio.....if you begin to notice it, it does become a problem that ruins the movie/tv show/etc. Secondly, whenever I press stop or turn off my player while a movie is playing and then later insert a new DVD, the player acts like it is the same DVD and returns to playing the video at the time spot that the other dvd ended. I recommend staying away from this DVD player. Read more
