hate it - terrible sound, disfunctional zoom.......2007-02-02
This is an extremely poor quality unit. Not worth your money. After a very short time (but too long to return it) the sound got very hissy, taking a *lot* of joy out of watching. The other issues (zoom that doesn't use the whole screen, etc.) pale in comparison.
Fine at first.......2007-01-03
About 6 months after I bought this thing it crapped out. I loved it at first. The slim size fit into the space that I had, the player worked well with my TV and other equipment, it played every disc I put in it. I was thrilled to have found something this nice... then it died. I was also the stupid fool who didn't send in her warranty card so now I'm looking at a cheaper player, clearly buying the name brands don't help! Why don't they make things to last???
Nice design, poor product qualitity.......2006-12-29
My first DVD player and it worked without a problem for about 5 to 6 months with minimum use and now it sits in a idle state while trying to load a DVD. I have tried several DVDs, ones that have worked before and brand new one, nothing. I am waiting to hear back from RCA support but I doubt they will do anything....
Not half bad.......2006-10-08
After returning 2 DRC247N players because the power supplies emitted horribly loud high pitched squeals when powered off, I finally found this model. No optical digital output, no display on the machine itself, but other than it sticking twice for about one half second while playing the first 2 discs I tried, it really is a decent machine. Picture is smooth and artifact-free, sound is quite excellent, easily region-hackable, good looking cabinet. Except for no display on the machine I find this to be a quite satisfactory unit. Would like to have seen the remote be a bit larger and the keys a little better marked. No problems so far with performance. For a straight forward simple player, this is considerably better than about half a dozen other players I returned for various defects or lack of features. If it lasts as well as it performs I will be very happy with the DRC225N. I needed another player for Region2-PAL discs that I buy from the U.K. This does the job very nicely and I found it at K-Mart for under $50.00. Heck of a decent deal compared to so many fall-apart players out there in the same price range. Another thing I like is the color balance is much better than other RCA players I tried. Most had the typical RCA look of far too much green in the pix, and fleshtones much too orange. This one does not have the color problems. I'm keeping it.
Very good; feature-rich for the price.......2006-08-14
I want to come to the defense of this player a bit. I think a couple of the reviews had more to do with support problems rather than specific hardware problems. I bought this player in November of 2005 so I have been using it for about 9 months now.
I purchased this DVD player because my previous DVD player (a Sony 300-disc library model) was beginning to fail. I chose to try this player primarily for these reasons: (a) price--I think I paid about $56 through amazon; (b) it is a progressive scan player, which I think makes for a better picture than interlaced; (c) it has component video out (and my TV accepts component video in, again for the best picture); (d) it claimed to play mp3 disks and I was looking for a way to play mp3's on my main entertainment system.
This DVD player lived up to all its claims and more. It does indeed provide progressive scan through component video cables for an awesome picture, and it plays mp3 disks (music, audio only) that I create on my PC.
Additionally, it will also play DVD's that I create myself using Sonic's MyDVD software, and also will play VCD's that I create (like a DVD, but on a CD-size disk). I recently backed up all of my music and pictures onto a DVD as a data disk and stuck it in this RCA player just for fun--it displayed jpeg images on the TV and would play the mp3 music as well. Additionally, it's very thin, a feature that allows me to put two separate components into a single slot of my entertainment center's cabinet.
All in all, I was very impressed with this player's capabilities, especially given the great price. I'm considering buying one or two more for other rooms in my house. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the interfaces are a bit primitive. It will indeed play mp3's and display jpg's, but the number of characters of a file's name is limited so if you have long file names, it may be hard to distinguish them on the screen. Also, you can't create playlists on the fly, so you have to create them when you burn an mp3 disk by placing songs in a specific folder.
But those things are minor nit-picks. If you want an inexpensive player that will do progressive scan, component video, play mp3's and display jpg's, this is a great player for the price.

i ordered a lens and i don't know if they're were not available or what, but they sent me one better than the one i ordered. that's what i was told. well pleased with it. was packaged very well.

gbucey
Good product at good price.......2001-05-11
I have a two Minolta SLR cameras. An STi and a QTi. I broke the lens on the first and bought the second because it cost almost as much to buy a replacement lens as it did to just buy a new camera. At this price, I can replace the original lens and have two cameras.
I love this camera. I've used several 35mm manual and automatic cameras and find this one easy to use and have gotten consistently good quality photos from it.
