Problem player. Stay Away.......2006-04-27

I purchased this player brand new from WalMart for 399.00 when it first came out. The very first disk I put in would not play. It just made awful noises. I took it back to WalMart and exchanged for another. This one was also very noisy, but did play (for only a month). I contacted Thompson (RCA) and was told to send entire unit in for repair. Two months later I got a replacement unit back, however they neglected to send me a battery. I was told that I should have never sent the battery in even though I was asked to send the entire unit. After a week or so I finally got to someone high enough in the company to send me a battery.

Unfortunately, reading DVD's was hit and miss with this unit. A lot of the time I couldn't get disks to read, or they would work until half way through the movie and then I'd just get a blue screen. About four months ago the battery was recalled. I got the new battery and after using three times with the new battery the unit won't even power up anymore. I highly recommend staying away from this unit.

Macrovision and More Restrictions.......2004-09-26

RCA DRC600N portable DVD player includes Macrovision copy guard. This feature is incorporated into the player itself. When commanded to do so by the disk, the Macrovision generator alters the video signal by inserting very-high-level pulses in to the vertical blanking interval. It also initially shifts the color-burst phase on some lines of video thoughout the picture. This results in severe video distortion if the player is connected through a VCR. Some monitors are adversely affected even if connected directly. The next feature is regional code restriction which allows the DRC600N to only play DVD's that are encoded for Region 1 or all regions. Both NTSC and PAL DVD's from overseas can be played and displayed on screen if they conform to this regional code restriction. To ensure only the highest-quality viewing experience, this DRC600N can only play factory-stamped DVD's. Copies or home videos recorded onto DVD-R will not play on this machine. Both factory-stamped and recordable CD-R audio compact disks will play. The DRC600N includes remote control, power supply/charger, A/V cables including "S"-video, and a great lithium-ion battery pack. Picture quality and battery capacity are quite good. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, there are no available upgrades available to render this player multi-region and VCR Friendly. That plus its inability to play recordable DVD's makes it a marginal value.

Almost a house fire.......2004-04-10

I've never written anything on Amazon before, but I had to tonight. This DVD player exploded on us to night. We're not sure what happened but it looks like the battery exploded. The entire living room filled with smoke and a small fire started. Our living room arm chair was blackened and smouldering and our oriental rug was burnt, covered with battery acid and burnt straight through to the flooring below. We were about to use the fire extinguishers when I grabbed a large towel and threw the DVD player battery outside on the concrete patio. It continuted to smoulder, smoke and glow. The air in the house was toxic. This was an extremely dangerous situation, which could have caused even more damage and was potentially life threatening. In short, do not buy this DVD player. I plan on contacting RCA tomorrow morning and informing them about this serious situation.

great if you get a waranty.......2004-01-03

This player is amazing, but it seems to have about a 50% success rate. my first one the previous model had everything wrong with it, but this model is amazing. It has a better picutre quality than those made by other companies around the same time, and has a great batery. I fly monthly and use it as my home player, so it is used almost daily, and bumped around continously during travel, and I haven't had a single problem. I have had it almost a year now, and love it.

You get what you pay for..........2003-10-21

Major factor in purchasing this unit was the price. At a Target clearance last Jan, this baby was a low ~$210 (if I remember correctly). Works well for the price with a lot of features: the s-video out, audio/video in/out, Dolby 5.1, remote, SVCD/VCD/mp3/picture file playback, etc. Had major problems reading DVD's with many chapters in it (ex: HBO season DVD's) but rarely skipped for regular DVD's and SVCD's. Picture quality was decent, audio was fine. Wish you could fast forward/rewind w/o the remote control, though...Battery also takes very long to charge (~6hours).

In a nutshell, it is a decent product, but like another reviewer said: GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. My unit died in 9 months, with average use (watch ~3-5 movies a week). RCA warranty offers 100% protection for first 90 days, then a limited warranty for the 9 months after that. I had to pay $50 flat fee for a refurb replacement that will only have another 90 day warranty, period. If the refurb breaks after that, I'm down a portable DVD player. I don't know if this is a bad warranty compared to all portable DVD players, but this indeed has left me with a sour aftertaste. My advice: these portable DVD players will break on you eventually, why not get a cheapo from Bestbuy and invest in an extended warranty? Just my 50 cents.

Just Blaze! Sha-sha-sha shake it like a polaroid picture! Holla @ ur boy! World Exclusive-sive-sive! Peace.
