 You get what you pay forNov 10, 2010

My old DVD player, a Sony, works great. But I now have an LCD flat screen TV and I wanted a DVD player that would give me a better looking picture for that TV. I was in a hurry and, against my usual inclination, I leaped when I saw this RCA model. The bonus for me was that it had an SD slot which meant I could show photos straight from my camera.
As soon as I pulled the player out of the box I knew I'd made a mistake. Light as a feather and more plastic than metal. It's easily half the weight of the rock solid Sony. But the difference goes beyond the superficial.
The buttons on the RCA are grouped together in the middle instead of intuitively where you'd expect. I expect the open/close button to be next to the loading tray window. It isn't. It's in the middle of the unit. This means that unless you memorize the button placement you'll always have to look real close to make sure you're pressing the right one. I can see myself accidentally shutting this off many many times - and I've already done so.
The DVD loading tray is unbelievably cheap. If you have children that will use the DVD player you definitely do NOT want to buy this. The tray is made of very flimsy plastic and feels like it will break with very little effort.
And lastly, the feature that sold this for me is underwhelming. The player is SLOW at loading pictures. There are several seconds of blank screen between each shot. This happens regardless of whether you hit the "next" button or put it into auto slide show mode. So much for showing off photos at a party.
I most definitely regret leaping to buy this before I had more time to research. I suspect I'd probably have to pay almost double what I paid for this to get the quality I had with the old Sony - and I would've done so except I was naive enough to think that an RCA wouldn't feel and behave as cheap as this.

 Previous reviews aside, I'm a happy boy!Aug 11, 2011

I ordered this DVD player with reservation mainly because of the 2 reviews already showing. However, I have owned the RCA DRC286 DVD player which is the predecessor to this unit for a couple of years and have been very pleased with it, so I decided to give it a go anyway. The only issue I had with the item was the packaging used to ship it in. The shipping box was not nearly large enough and did not provide room for adequate padding (I sent a packaging review to Amazon). But luckily all arrived safely. I couldn't be more pleased with the unit. No, it's not a top of the line model, no it's not heavy, so yes it will slide around on a slick surface unless you use your noodle and put a simple $1.00 anti skid mat underneath it. It's a $60.00 DVD player and for the money it is a very good unit. My DRC286 unit only had a USB port and it's nice to now have both a USB port and an SD card slot. I noticed one of the previous reviewers said he had problems with playing DIVX videos through the USB port. I've tested it quite thoroughly and so far so good. No problems whatsoever. I've also had no problems at all with the responsiveness of the remote. My needs are simple. I press a button, the machine does what the remote tells it to do in a reasonable amount of time, therefore I'm happy.
Finding a reasonably priced DVD player with DIVX Ultra capabilities (not to mention including a USB port and an SD card slot) is not easy these days. So for anyone looking for a nice little inexpensive DVD player that will do what you want it to do I would definitely recommend this one.

Works great. Our old player had pausing issues playing to our new LED HDTV. Not with this one. Only thing is it doesn't seem to display the time of day which would have been nice.
