RCA DRC6272 Twin Mobile DVD Players

Let's face it: kids don't always have the same taste in DVDs. This could lead to constant complaints while on a long trip. But the RCA DRC6272 allows you to have the choice to either play separate DVDs or to play the same DVD to both at once. It even gives you the option to use one or both for video games or TV instead.

Aside from the versatility, the product also helps you avoid the inevitable fight for the prime seat next to the DVD player. With two that easily attach to the back of your headrests, all your passengers can see the 7" LCD screens when it's time to show your DVD, CD, or JPG. The color-coded remote controls are paired with the players so one remote will control one player without affecting the other. The built-in speakers are sure to quiet and focus your backseat audience. The players and headphone jacks allow for private listening.

Not only did RCA put time into creating a product that works for the whole car, they also made it so that it can easily move from one car to the next and easily use in multiple cars! Each set of twin mobile DVD players comes with a dual output car power adapter, and an additional single output car power adapter allowing you to use the players in two vehicles.

You can also use the players in the home! Both players have a flip-out stand and come with AC power adapters.

The DRC6272 connects to:

• Game console(s)
• TV(s)
• DVD player(s)

It plays:

• DVDs
• CDs
• JPGs

What's in the box:

• Two 7" LCD screen mobile DVD players
• Headrest mounting kits
• Two remote controls
• AV cable
• Car power adapter which powers both players
• Additional car power adapter for use in multiple vehicles

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the car, September 9, 2010

This review is from: RCA DRC6272 Twin Mobile DVD Players - play two different DVDs! (Electronics)

My wife and I really shopped around for a DVD player for our car. We took a chance with this one because there was no reviews on it. I have to say that chance really paid off for us. Here is why we decided to go with this one:

1. Brand recognition. We could have went with a couple other names, but I have known RCA for being decent. Maybe not the best but good enough for me.

2. Remote controls. This is the number one reason why we went with this one. The first one we had didn't come with remotes and we found it to be a real pain if you have to skip sections, stop, play, and all other normal functions you would use with a DVD player. Because we don't want the kids to get out of their seats while driving this is really ideal and highly recomended. Our children are also too young to understand the controls. The different colors make it easy to determine which control works for what player.

3. Two independent players or able to view the same movie on both. The original one we purchased only had one player. With two kids you never know what they are going to watch. This solves the problem when they both want to watch different things. The other reason is for back-up purposes. I have read in many reviews that the dvd player breaks after a while...well with two, if one goes down during a long drive, your not at a complete loss because you can use the other.

The one con with this player is the fact that it doesn't remember where the DVD left off if your in the middle of a movie and you shut your car off. This may bother some people but the fact is on long drives your not going to stop every half hour...more like every two or three hours. The average movie is around two hours so it's unlikely this is going to be a major problem during those drives. Unless you plan to use the DVD player for every little drive, this really isn't that big of a deal.

Other than that this DVD player is perfect for what we intend to use it for.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works OK but could be a lot better, December 12, 2010

By 

Ellis Moose (Burke, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RCA DRC6272 Twin Mobile DVD Players - play two different DVDs! (Electronics)

I was in the market for something to entertain my small kids on drives, particularly during our long daily commute to work (where their daycare is located). This appeared to fit the bill. Indeed it did do the job, but it could be a lot better.

PROs:
- The system was very easy to set up. So long as you aren't worried about hiding cords, it only really takes minutes to get this up and working.
- The system is relatively easy to operate. You can have both screens showing the same movie, or each watching something different. Switching between the two settings is very easy.
- The picture and sound were adequate for our sedan.
- We never had a reliability problem.

CONs:
- Many people will be buying this for small children. If your kids are too little to be trusted with operating the unit themselves, the system doesn't work well. For one, as mentioned in other reviews, everytime you stop the car (even if you leave the key in the aux position) the movie completely restarts when you restart the car. This becomes a problem when the person in the front seat (not the kids in back) has to wade through the menu and get the movie back to where it was (supremely frustrating if you're dealing with a Disney movie... parents, you know what I'm talking about). Equally frustrating is that, while the system comes with remotes, you must be directly in line with the sensor to get them to work. In other words, only the kids in the back can really get the remote to work. In our case, that won't work because the kids are too little to figure out the remote buttons. Bottom line you end up reaching behind the headrest from the passenger seat and trying to hit buttons without being able to see them or what's on the screen. There is no tactile indicator on the buttons to let you know which is which by feel, so you really have to go off of experience. There is also no 'menu' button on the unit. It only exists on the remotes. The front seat occupants will NOT be able to get the remote to work while remaining seatbelted in the front... no matter how much yoga you practice.
- The unit's cord are hard to hide in order to give you a clean look. The way they plug in makes the unit easy to set up but also hard to make look clean. Also, my two year old son liked to kick the cords out of the monitor with his feet.
- The headrest strap is really just one long strip of velcro strap. It works but it doesn't make for an overly secure fit. Also if you have tapered headrests, you'll find it hard to get it to work great. We had to loop it around the metal headrest posts instead of the actual headrest.
- As I mentioned previously, the unit is easy to install. It isn't SO easy to install that you'll want to take it down and put it away every time you get out of the car. That would just be too much of a hassle. On the other hand, it is easy enough to get out of the car quickly to be enticing to a thief. That is exactly what happened to us. The first time we forgot to lock the car (after having this for about 1.5 years), it was gone in a heartbeat.

We are now looking for a replacement unit and will probably NOT get another RCA. We need a system that is easier to operate from the front seat. If your back seat passengers are old enough to operate this independantly and you don't make frequent stops, this unit should work for you just fine and is very cost effective.

If anyone knows of a similar dvd system that remembers where in the movie it left off when you turn off the car, please let me know via the comments here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for long trips., October 12, 2010

I had no problem with setting up the RCA cables to each other. or mounting it to the back of the head rest. It was very easy to use. Best of all remotes are NOT interchangeable!The remotes are color coded to their prospective dvd player. So during a trip you will not hear .... Dad! He keeps messing up my movie. And as long as you have power to the players it will remember where the movie was last stopped. Cannot say enough how fantastic the picture and sound is. I'm so glad I got it for our 16hr round trip to Rhode Island. Never knew the kids where there. :).
