5.0 out of 5 stars
Yes, it is an RCA that really works and works Great!,
By Butch "peachr" (King, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA DRC8030N DVD Recorder with 80GB Hard Drive (Electronics)
When I purchased this DVD recorder about a year and a half ago, I was very skeptical about how well it would perform. I have had problems with previous RCA products, however, the price on this unit was just too good to be true. Boy have I been glad I purchased it. This recorder has far exceeded my expectations. It has almost no delay when you hit the record button. It accepts many different DVD disk formats. Hard drive recording and program transfers from the hard drive to a DVD disk have been flawless. It takes a while to learn to use the unit. It is a little complicated but the effort will be worth it. The Remote is well designed and works very well. There are several record quality settings which can allow a lot recording on a DVD disk with just a little loss in picture quality in the higher compression modes. At any rate, I would highly recommend this recorder to anyone if you can find it. Mine has been a real winner. It is still performing flawless and I have recorded hundreds of hours of programs with it. If this recorder were to quit today, I would say that I got more than my money's worth from it and I would definately buy another one just like it.

This review is from: RCA DRC8030N DVD Recorder with 80GB Hard Drive (Electronics)
I bought two of these units...one for home and one for work. I love them with all my heart. If it ever becomes legal to marry inanimate objects,
these will certainly become my first two wives. (with pre-nups of course) I highly recommend these to replace your current VCR and or DVD recorders. The hard drive is the key component and makes it tough to keep from buying. At the price I got these refurbished units...they are virtually disposable. Buy as many of these things as possible.

A pretty good little DVD Recorder,
This review is from: RCA DRC8030N DVD Recorder with 80GB Hard Drive (Electronics)
I've had this unit about a year and a half and it has filled my simple needs quite well - recording films not now or ever likely to be on DVD to the hard disk via timers - since the films I want to see often come on in the dead of night or while I'm at work - and copying those films to DVD if I decide they are good enough to keep. You can even edit out commercials if necessary via the "Hide Chapter" option. I have noted a few problems, but these may be present on other DVRs:
1. Anything running longer than about 80 minutes or so records in "real time". 2. If you are around the border of that time - 80 minutes - the recorder will get confused and chop the film off before it is finished recording. Solution: leave some buffer at the end if you are around that limit. 3. DVD-Rs often have artifacts in them. I did not have this problem when I graduated to DVD+Rs as recording media. 4. One day I decided to record a big block of films in one 10 hour block. When I came home, the DVR had arbitrarily divided the recordings into two blocks, one that lasted about six hours and one about four. When I tried "chopping up" the six hour block of films into individual movies for recording purposes, the DVR got "lost" and the entire six hour block of movies was lost to me. On the plus side, it is easy to use, gives great video/audio quality, and most importantly apparently is lacking that "feature" that many newer DVRs have of refusing to copy modern movies or any movie that plays on "either side" of one time-wise. If I've copied a movie made in 1930 that aired just after a modern film, this can cause problems.
