4.0 out of 5 stars For the price..., May 28, 2004

This review is from: RCA RTD300 300-Watt Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Home Theater System (Electronics)

For the price it is definitly worth the investment. It provides great sound quality for such low power output. As far as the set up instructions go, they looked pretty straightforward to me, although I did not even need them to set up the system. Wires are color coded and everything else is clearly labled. Any confusion in the set up is due to incompetence on the users part. As far as the remote goes, I agree with the previous reviewer. The remote is pretty much worthless, which is why I went to wal-mart and bought an All 4 One remote that is much smaller and more efficient. With the money you save buying the system, you have no reason to complain about having to go and spend $12 on a new remote.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not user-friendly, December 2, 2003

C Hires (Orange City, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RCA RTD300 300-Watt Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Home Theater System (Electronics)

I bought this RCA RTD300 home theater system because I have been using RCA products for years and felt good about them. Less expensive, but we've seen good quality, and RCA has the easiest VCR programming in the marketplace. We have a 3-year old 36" RCA TV and a nice older Proscan VCR. Decided to get into the world of DVD and buy a combination home theater/VCR/DVD unit, thinking it would be a good transition. NOT! The remote controls between the older TV and this new home theater are apparently not compatible, and that's unforgiveable. Also, the remote control on the RTD300 system is not your typical RCA universal remote, and lacks the features and ease of use. Bad layout, it's totally confusing and nasty. Give me a break! That's the main reason I bought it, hoping to pull it all together in one easy package! The instructions for setting up the RTD300 are screwed up, too,the text does not match the diagram. I'm not stupid. 3 days later, I still can't get these RCA components to work together. It's ridiculous and I am extremely disappointed with RCA at the moment.
