Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This stylish, slim RCA DVD player is sure to turn heads. The sleek, black-and-silver design alone makes it an accent piece in any environment. But the player offers not only style, but an array of cutting-edge features like progressive-scan technology for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs, Digital PhotoView, MP3 music file decoding, and compatibility with just about every recordable DVD format, from DVD-R to DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DRC230N stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. A 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimum decoding of all disc formats.

If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: Virtual Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV). Other features include parental lock, Scene Again (one-button 10-second instant replay), bookmarking (up to 12 bookmarks per disc), and resume play (handy when you need to stop playback and pick up, at a later point, exactly where you left off).

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control (model RCR311DA1), remote batteries, user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

This DVD player played ok the first few times i used it, but then it wouldn't really work! My DVD's would randomly pause, and play like in a slow motion! It'd take hours to watch 20 minutes. No matter how much i cleaned the DVD's or the player itself!

One day i rented "Gothika" and tried to play it, but it wouldn't play. It said it was incompatible on my player! That was roughly 2 months ago, ever since that day it will randomly tell me that my discs are incompatible, even though i've played them without a problem before! Yesterday i bought "The Haunting", and tried to play it, and it said again, that it was incompatible! So i made a connection that "Dreamworks" films do not work in this DVD player! And i'd like to know why. It's very very odd...

My advice, save your money! This DVD player is a rip off, and a horrible player!!!

I bought this Dvd player 2 years ago at Walmart for under 60 bucks, and it has performed fine. I have not had a minute worth of problems. Sometimes we get un-lucky and purchase a bad product. That's the way it goes sometime, but it does not make that particular product a bad buy.
