Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

From cutting-edge Nuon technology to MP3 PRO capabilities and Digital PhotoView conveniences, this RCA DVD player packs a wallop. Onboard Nuon technology lets you zoom into full-motion video, paused video, or even use slow motion forward and reverse to get a close-up look at incredible special effects or exciting sports highlights. And only Nuon-enhanced DVD players offer the Virtual Light Machine. When you play any CD or MP3 disc in the player, the television screen will erupt with intense colors and geometric patterns driven by the energy of music.

Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. The unit is compatible with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, DVD+W, DVD+R, DVD-W, DVD+RW, DVD-R, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs, as well as both 3-inch and standard 5-inch sizes. MP3 PRO audio technology is both backward and forward compatible with the standard MP3 format and creates files that are half the size (or smaller) of traditional MP3 files. Digital PhotoView feature lets you enjoy a custom slide show of digital photos when using a JPEG-encoded CD-R or CD-RW.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. The player passes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals through its digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still enjoy Spatializer processing, which simulates surround sound through two speakers.

Playback options include MultiSpeed Smooth Scan (forward and reverse, up to 100x playback), MultiSpeed Slow Motion (forward and reverse, down to .0833x speed), bookmarking (up to six), smart resume (restarts from the point where you stopped watching for up to 10 movies), zoom (up to 15x, with four-tap poly-phase filtering to eliminate stair-step fuzziness when zooming), and slide show (for JPEG images). Supplied accessories include a composite-video AV cable, instruction manual, and a unified remote control that operates the DVD player and RCA and GE televisions.

This review is from: RCA DRC300N DVD Player (Electronics)

If you have a CD (or DVD) burner on your computer, this player will prove to be very useful. Burn MP3s, Pictures, or Video onto a CD or DVD, pop it in this player, and enjoy on your TV! If you own a digital camera, using this player is a easy and fun way to show your photos to friends. You can even add background music to your photo slideshow. The zoom feature is nice to have, but I haven't really had much of a use for it. The on-screen visuals that appear when playing music are a nice touch too. The remote is probably the biggest problem. Some often used buttons are very small and hard to locate, and look very similar to the others. You'd be better off getting RCA's excellent universal remote as an accessory. Also note that this player does NOT play SVCD's, only VCD's. I was very surprised to discover that format wasn't supported. Overall, this player does what it says in a easy-to-use fashion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Soon to own one, February 9, 2003

This review is from: RCA DRC300N DVD Player (Electronics)

JPEG compatibility is a must for my digital picture slideshow project. Component Video, Composite Video AND S-Video outputs make this work on most TV sets, so I can carry it to a friends house and probably show my JPEG pictures. I presume DVD video playback will be good, but I'm not purchasing it for that. Today is Feb 8 2003, I should have this in use by Feb 15; I'll certainly revise my review (with passion) if this thing doesn't work....you can bet your boots on it! There are cheaper units which will handle JPEG, but I read some reviews and concluded that for the extra U.S.$ this is the one for me. **DON**
