Summary: Keep looking
Review: My unit began to freeze up after a couple of weeks. Since this only happened on rented DVD's at first, I decided to keep it. Well, after 3 months of light use, the unit began to freeze up on all DVD's, new or used. Eventually, within 4 months, it would not even read any DVD or CD. I called RCA to get it repaired under warranty (no toll-free number), and the ONLY option that was offered was to replace the unit at a cost of $89.95. I did this and the new unit works ok so far, but it is noisy when reading disks. If you do some research on the net, you'll notice that many others have experienced similar problems. In short, this is an unreliable unit that is not backed very well by the manufacturer.

Summary: Good, but flawed. Beware.
Review: The price is great, the ease of use, look, etc., but there are one or two fatal flaws to this model--certain DVDs will not play. Specifically, Ken Burns' Baseball. This fabulous documentary was one of the reasons I bought a DVD player in the first place, so you can imagine my shock and horror at not being able to play this set on my player. The other problem is that the player sometimes just freezes for no reason. I tend to turn it off/on and start over and it seems to do the trick. I have yet to write to RCA about the problems, but I eagerly await their explanation. I have bought two more of these players for other friends and relatives as gifts, but I will think twice next time.

Summary: First DVD Player
Review: This is the first DVD player I have owned. So I didn't really know too much about them. I set it up to a receiver and 6 speaker system in 5 minutes and was watching movies immediately. I can't believe how sharp the picture is. I used the cheapest optical audio and S-video cables I could find and I am impressed with the sound and picture quality beyond words. I think this is a great bang for you buck if you are going to get a player. Especially if you are a first timer like myself.

Summary: Okay to watch movies, but that's about it.
Review: This will be quick. This DVD player worked well for me for about 2 years, that is for simply watching movies. The picture quality, and menus were really easy to use, and in my opinion the remote, while simplistic was fun and easy to use also. As time passed, and after the purchase of a MP3/Cd player for my car, and my increasing use of CD-R's, it came to my attention that this unit WOULD NOT PLAY MP3 cd's and it would take a miracle for it to read a regular audio CD-R. That's really my only complaint. With the lowering prices of newer dvd players, and increase of features, we should expect more. Anyways, the story ends with my purchasing of a new DVD player, one which does play MP3/CD-r/DVDr's(which I forgot to mention... ha!).

Summary: What a disappointment
Review: Unfortunately, this DVD player is one of the worst purchases I have ever made (excluding the RCA VCR that I purchased at the same time, but that's another review). The first unit failed to run right out of the box, the second failed after two weeks, the the THIRD replacement will only play an average of one out of three DVD's. Why does it read some but not most others? I wish I knew. RCA has pretty much been useless in correcting the problem, and the possible solutions they did offer cost more than I'm willing to pay for a DVD player that has a proven history of failure. Save your money and your sanity, look to another brand name.
