Rating: 3 stars
Summary: low price, but with limitations!
Review: this is a good little machine.although you can polly find a better portable unit that is good, I chose rca becuz of it's low price.it is well worth it, but i think there is better players out there. i have never had a promblem with a dvd before. it only half plays a cd-r, not to the point where you finish it, it starts to screw up in the middle.sometimes the machines has green lines when you turn on the unit, but repeat use of switching the player on, then off for a few min should do the trick., and repeat as nesscsary. i have had my unit for over two years, and i'm in pleased with performance, and only that it can half read a cd-r disc, and has trouble sometimes, when you power up the unit to play as i mention above. the unit does get hot over long periods of use, and it it also indicated in the bottom of the unit.sometimes if you watch a film over two hours, it will start to screw up, hence the player is really hot by this time, and should be turned off, for awhile 30-40 mins, before starting it again to give it plenty of time to cool down. but, among thesen limitations, it is a fine unit on the road.

Summary: This was a neat item!
Review: This item is cool, you can carry it anywhere and listen to it! The screen was great and included a LOT of detail, it also was nice that you could plug headphones in. The only bad thing was the sound, it was sometimes a little fuzzy! But other than that it was a great product that I think you should get:)!!!

Summary: The question is.......... Do you feel lucky?
Review: This product does deserve a 4 or 5, but I am unable to give it that high of a rating. I actually bought this after buying the Toshiba one (Click my name for that review). I seem to have bad luck with all these DVD players. There are only 2 reasons why I give this DVD player a bad review. Since I bought this to watch on airplanes and trips, this con is not such a big deal. When you attach the battery, the cords end up blocking the video ports. They really need to fix that. The other issue is a big one. Every other time I play a DVD, the DVD gets a rather long circular scratch on it. I have friends who also have this DVD player and it seems that every 1 out of 3 has this defect. So the realy question is, Do you feel lucky?

Summary: Great Value and Quality
Review: This system is a great value. Picture quality is excellent and plenty of functionality for a portable. Have had no problems playing an entire movie on a plane. 2:45 is however the longest movie I have played on it to date with just the battery, but there aren't too many movies that go 3+. Very compact and portable. I looked at many systems prior to this purchase. Do yourself a favor and save a couple of bucks with this setup.

Review: This would be even better if you could locate a replacement battery!
You call RCA: they refer you to Target; but I bought this thing at Best Buy!! NO ONE has replacement batteries, I cannot find them anywhere online. RCA new battery part number 253389.

Summary: Flawed Design
Review: We purchased the player to use in the car for a trip cross-country with our two young children. It worked fine for a while but gradually began to fail and finally stopped working altogether. We had to make a lot of phone calls and argue with RCA to get a replacement unit. When we finally received the replacement unit it did not work at all!! RCA knows the unit has problems and they are in the process of a re-design. We are getting our money back and plan to buy a different brand. Bottom line, the current RCA design is immature. Buyer beware.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than any mini TV! Fantastic picture.
Review: We used to carry a 9" TV/VCR, portable CD player, and photo albums of the kids when we traveled. Now we carry the DVD player and DVD's, CD's, and VCD's all in one case. The picture is very sharp and the sound quality is fantastic.
