1.0 out of 5 stars More junk for the consumers, December 1, 2006
By 
Tall Paul (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA DRC8320N DVD Recorder (Electronics)
I should have known something was wrong when I saw a big stack of these at the store and none of the salespeople recommended them. I don't know if this thing actually records because it never worked. It seemed to overheat after I hit Record and shut off. In the process, it made coasters out of the discs. I did some research and these are actually manufactured by some schlock company in China. RCA just puts their name on it. I guess quality control is nonexistent. I took it back for a refund. I should write RCA and tell them to reimburse me for the discs it destroyed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this, January 27, 2007
By 
Abby Smith (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA DRC8320N DVD Recorder (Electronics)
I bought this machine at a Meijer store, and the salesperson had no recomendation on this one versus a few other brands. I purchased it based on what the outside of the box said.

I thought it was easy to set up and I never even looked at the directions. I was able to transfer several tapes to DVD, both home movies and old VHS movies I own. They played back fine in this DVD player.

Soon I found that in some DVD players, the disks won't play at all. In other players, the DVDs paly but there are no chapters (which I put in) and won't pause, rewind, or fast foward. They only place they will play is in the machine they were made on.

At the time I wasn't sure if it was the recorder or the disks, and sadly I had to put the project aside for a few months. Now that I have again tried, I'm not sure I will ever get it to work properly. Unfortunatly I'm way passed the alowed time to take it back to the store. I'm feeling rather burned right now.

I am planing to contact RCA over this machine and my RCA Lyria mp3 player that only works half the time. Based on these two experiences, I will never again buy from RCA.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a Mess, November 24, 2006
This review is from: RCA DRC8320N DVD Recorder (Electronics)
I used to own the previous model the DRC8312N, but the VCR was such poor quality I decided to purchase a DRC8320N. Not only is the manual impossible to understand, it took me from 1000 am to 4am to figure out how to work it. Mine had a malfunction that kept the disc tray from loading. Instead when the power was turned on the tray kept opening and closing by itself. When I pressed set-up on the remote the tray would open and close. The display on the screen would show "Input Rear SV, CH3, Tape Eject" I took it back to Wal-Mart for an exchange but this one did the same thing. I called RCA who couldn't help because my problem was not in their troubleshooting section. So they told me to send it back at my expense and they would either repair or replace it. I told them if the have an 8312 laying around to send that instead. Stay away from this unit at all costs. Get an 8312 if you have to.
