Summary: Piece of Junk
Review: I purchased this unit for my daughter's 8th B'Day. I decided to try it out & thank goodness I did. You have to tell it to play (not auto play); it froze numerous times; while in play it didn't detect the cd; lost volume. Boy what a TERRIBLE UNIT. I replaced it with the Panasonic DVD LV50 & this is a DREAM unit. As a matter of fact I'm thinking about keeping it for my self!!!

Summary: Good Unit but Can Cause DVD Wear
Review: I purchased this unit from another retailer about a month ago and just started using is pretty heavy in the last two weeks. I was watching a brand new DVD yesterday and could not figure out why the disk stopped playing and became distorted. When I examined the disk, I noticed that it was developing wear marks on the edges but I could not figure out how. Then I noticed that the wear marks were in the same position as the white felt pads. I believe these were designed to keep the disk from scratching if it was bounced due the portable nature of the unit. However, either due to the internal heat of the unit or whatever may be the case the pads seem to actually touch the disk and wear off onto it. I could not remove the marks and luckly was able to get a replacement for the disk. I also returned the player in hopes of finding another unit that was designed without these type of pads. It is a shame as overall the unit is pretty good for the price.

Summary: This was a neat item!
Review: I used to own the Audiovox DVD Player. I got rid of it and bought this RCA DVD player. I took it to picnics, short trips and to a rock and roll concert. I never had a problem with it. The audiovox always kept stopping and had problems with it. I just need to find an adapter for my car and I will start taking the RCA DVD player on long trips. I will recomend it to anyone, I have hooked it up to TV's and a stereo. I bought an adapter to allow me to hook it up to tv's with only a coax input. Worked great. Nothing fancy, but does the job. I hope you enjoy it.

Summary: Worst DVD Portable on the Market
Review: I've been wanting a portable DVD Player for a couple of years now. Finally, in May 02 I used some of my graduation money to get one. My (first) RCA unit was a great deal at Best Buy. I've been through THREE units now and none of them worked. I've experienced nearly every type of problem at every turn. My first and second would pixelate and die. Even after repairs they didn't work properly. My newest one is working okay right now, but it's starting get bad... esspecially when it won't turn on.Don't buy this waist of plastic. Hopefully, mine will work long enough so I can sell it and rid myself of it. Best Buy won't give me a new one, and I don't want a new one. My advise is save up for a better one. You get what you pay for, and this the Geo Metro of DVD players.

Summary: Looks can be deceiveing
Review: If one takes a good look at the RCA dvd player, it looks quite nice--just as I thought. However, I bought this particular model and was a little disappointed. It is of poor build and quality. First off, The silver plate on the lid was not attached properly and was coming up at the seams. Then the actual door, to open to put a dvd in, was bent and had a slight arch to it. The rubber disks on the back to keep it from sliding around on a surface peel right off from the extreme armount of heat it gives off while running. Speaking of operation, it doesn't play all dvd's. It wouldn't play the 3 James Bond's I have (it did play everything else however). The picture quality is so-so--too pixelated. also, the volume doesn't go up loud enough--a bad disadvantage for plane trips, I couldn't hardly hear! I had to actually put the subtitle option on to enjoy the movie on the plane. The only plus was the portability and convenience. I think, however, it is going back to were it came from, and a new search must be started for a portable dvd player to purchase. I thought it had potential from the nice and inviting appearence, but I really think RCA can do much better.

Summary: Final Comment
Review: Just to correct one of the previous commentaries...this unit is only new to customer service and parts for reasons I cannot fathom. Still no battery nor optical cables. I bought my unit April 4...so it has been out three months.

Summary: Worst DVD Portable on the Market
Review: Look at Disillusioned's remarks. He is absolutely correct. I have gone through seven of these units in a year and they all gradually fail. RCA customer service is polite but totally ineffectual...in fact, watch out, because eventually they will just write you off and not even talk about the unit. DO NOT BUY!

Summary: Terrible Quality
Review: My player failed (stopped playing when hot) after about 45 days. The replacement player from RCA did not work *at all*, so I am waiting for my third player.
Avoid at all costs. Caveat Emptor.
