Summary: Major problems with this DVD player
Review: After reading the reviews for this DVD player, I decided to write a review because I have had the same problems as other reviewers. Certain DVDs play fine in this DVD player, yet others skip or have sound interruptions during the movie - since I bought a new DVD player, I have had no problems with these same DVDs at all!

Summary: superb little player
Review: Having just moved into our new apartment, we were looking to furnish the place with all the gadgets and gizmos anyone could want, while also on a budget. We needed a DVD player. So off we went to Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart prices on the electrical items are hard to beat, so we were really pleased when we found this little beauty in the store. Being originally from England, i had never heard of RCA before though my wife tells me that they are a very good make, so i took her word for it and brought the DVD player. it has just been reduced in price from $130 to just under $100 which i thought was a really good deal. First thing that struck me when i took it out of the box was it's styling. It looks a lot more like a very expensive player with its mirrored silver finish. I love the way the buttons are positioned on the player. it doesn't look to cluttered like some players do. Hooking the player up was easy! There are 3 connections on the back Composite video output; S-video output and a Component video output i chose the s-video output, because you get a much better picture quality. This DVD player can play virtually any disc! it can play: DVD, DVD+RW, DVD-R, Video CD and JPEG and when it comes to music cds it can playback: CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3. I was very impressed with the incredible versatility of this machine. The sound reproduction is very high too! It can boast: Optical and coaxial Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound outputs And it has Analog stereo output it also has Virtual surround sound for 2 speakers and a headphone jack with separate volume control! It has all the features of the bigger players! 2x and 4x zoom, English, French and Spanish on screen displays, parental locks, so you can stop you kids from seeing stuff they do no need to be seeing, a built in screen saver to stop any image burning into your screen (very handy for those with projection televisions) and the remote control will also operate your GE and RCA television sets. The remote also comes with 2AA batteries and a you also get your video cable so it is ready to go straight from the box. The player is very quiet when it is operating, and it does everything you tell it too very quickly. I have yet to have a DVD that refuses to play or a DVD that jumps on this player yet. You will love this player if you buy it. Do not be fooled by the price

Summary: Major problems with this DVD player
Review: I am so disgusted with myself for not looking into the problems I have had with this DVD player before now. I just replaced it after putting up with it for a year. I have had numerous problems with this player from the start. Since the player was new, I assumed there was something wrong with the different movies. Now I am playing dvds on my new Pioneer with no problem that previously had "freezes" - "skips" - and some that just weren't recognized by the RCA DRC220N player at all. I am just sick sick sick to know that I put up with this for a year. Take my advice! If you have any DVDs that won't play in your player TRY ANOTHER PLAYER. I wish that I had tried my "problem movies" in a friend's player a year ago! I spent $150 on this player and got nothing but aggravation!

Summary: JPEG FILES WON'T PLAY
Review: I bought the RCA DRC220N to convienietly display my digital photography. While the player does play my .mp3 tracks and burned CD's it will not read .jpg files. I had to explain to the technical support person at RCA what a JPEG file was so I knew I was in trouble. A slip of paper inserted in the box says that some large .jpg files may be to big to play. So I tried reading a small 20kb picture file on a CD with no results. I can't recommend this unit if you want to display your digital photography easily. RCA needs to beef up its technical trouble shooters especially when they make you pay a long distance phone call for poor support.

Summary: good one for the $$
Review: I had a problem with the center (voice) channel on surround, but
after unplugging it for 15 seconds, it came back. It plays cd-r
media great and liked to view my jpeg pics. on it. Side by side
with my vcr was no contest.

Summary: Good Buy
Review: I have a unique situation. I needed a player for my MP3s and to watch DVDs. Only my TV and sound systems are on opposite sides of the house. I needed the MP3 playing to show, at least, track numbers (I don't use folders). In spite of what the instruction manual says, this unit scrolls each track label at the beginning of a track and maintains the track # and time while playing MP3s (burned with iTunes 2). DVD playing through my VHS and spare amp is all I need. All the features work. For less then $100 (another goal), I am set!

Review: I have had the RCA DRC220N for less than 6 months and now it will not turn on. RCA web site is not any help. I'm staying away from RCA in the future.

Summary: JPEG files aren't displayed
Review: I purchased the RCA drc220n to play DVD's, MP3, and CDRW. The audio CD's and DVD's play fine but I can't display .jpg images. I called RCA tech support and had to explain to the tech support person what a .jpg file was. I knew I was in trouble. The individual couldn't help at all. Inserted in the box is a piece of paper stating that large jpeg files can't be displayed. No file size limit is specified. I tried displaying a small 20kb .jpg file with no success. If you're buying this item to display pictures from your digital camera be wary. Also, don't bother paying the long distance tech support number for poor tech support.

Summary: Technical Specs Data is not correct
Review: I purchased this unit as a Gift for my daughters Birthday, she lives in Trenton, GA. Technical data (obtained from Amazon.com) said that it would play "DVD-Video (NTSC), VCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, MP3-CD, JPEG CD; 8 and 12 cm discs". It will Play DVD-Video with good results. It does not play DVD+R. I transfered several VCR Tapes to DVD+R for her to see. They Play on my computer and my DVD Player. They will not play on the RCA DRC220N DVD Player I bought for her! I will never buy Electronic items from a "Book Store again"!!!!
