5.0 out of 5 stars
great surprize,
By Randy "movie fan" (dodge city kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA DRC285 DVD Player with HD Upconversion (Electronics)
The DRC 285 is a good little upconvert. It upconverts to 480p 720p 1080i and 1080p. All the ouputs are active at once. The HDMI is the only one you can turn on and off. The componet outputs give a good picture but it is 480p. You can only upconvert through the HDMI output. Ive set mine to 1080i and was really impressed with the increased picture quality of standard dvd's. While Im not sure you are getting full blown HD, there is no doubt it looks alot better. The player menu is about as bare bones as it gets-only settings for picture ratio and setting the HDMI to how you want it. It does let you make adjustments on the fly as you watch a dvd. Another featue I liked is you can set the audio of the HDMI seperate from the digital outputs.{coax and optical} This way if your HD set cannot support a digital 5.1 signal you can set it to PCM and still get 5.1 for the other outputs to you home theater. THe player also has a USB 2.0 port on the front and a special menu that lets you rip your cd's to an ipod if you want. The remote is really small and I dont like it much. The instruction manual is just a paper flyer with very small print i didnt like it either. The player also dosnt come with an HDMI cable. All that being said I really like it, its cheap, plays everthing Ive put in it and handles layer changes better than any player Ive had. Recomended.
UPDATE: Ive had this player since May and I still have had no problems. I can only guess at the other reviews that RCA must have a quality control problem with this run. I dont have a problem with Divx or anything else. I did learn the 285 may have the Mediatek convesion chip in it. Ive heard its the best low-priced chip around. Ive ripped over 106 songs with no problems at all, I feel so lucky to have gotten a good unit.

Piece of Junk,

This review is from: RCA DRC285 DVD Player with HD Upconversion (Electronics)
I have purchased 2 of these RCA285 units and both of them failed within a month. I took a loss on the first one but thank goodness I ordered the second one from Amazon and was able to return it and get an immediate refund. Amazon is wonderful, this player is horrible. Amazon should stop their losses and pull this item from inventory now. So please don't waste your money on this unit and buy another upconverting DVD player from another manufacturer.

Gets the Job Done,
This review is from: RCA DRC285 DVD Player with HD Upconversion (Electronics)
I have video hooked up with component cables and have not tried HDMI yet. It produces good video and sound. I have had it for about a month and have had absolutely no problems. The menu and remote are anything but sophisticated. Overall it gets the job done and keeps the kids happy.
