Digital camera Review: Great product for a great price
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the dual screen DVD. You can't imagine how many fights have started with my kids because one thinks the screen is tilted to the others' side. This solves that problem! Now they fight about who gets to pick the movie and work the controls!!! Does it ever end???
The picture resolution is great and it is SOOOOOOO easy to set up. I especially like that one plug is equipped to satisfy three different plugs. No more wondering where this or that plug goes. Truly user friendly.
I love that it comes with its own carry bag. It makes it organized and easy to put away. It also plays MP3 and CD's, which I like too. The kids can listen to their own music on there without draining the batteries on their cd players.
The only drawback I can see is that if one child is playing the included games, the other cannot watch a movie. There is only one power jack, so if you remove the video transmission from the main unit to the secondary unit to play a game, you also lose the power. I thought it would let one play the game while the other watched because some other review here said it would, but IT WON'T, so don't expect it.
Overall, I love the product. It still has a little bit to go before it is truly exceptional, but still it is the best I have found on the market today.
Digital camera Review: Great unit with all the reight features
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this unit after trying out the Element dual screen portable DVD player. Unfortunately the Element was missing one key feature, an accurate resume function.
The RCA is great. It does everything we need. It remembers the location of the DVD when the car is turned off and it loses power, one of our key requirements.
I also like having the second screen and being able to use it to navigate menus without having to arch my back around to see the one screen system. The unit also seems to be very well made, especially when compared to the Element unit.
Pros:
* Comes with two mounting brackets which Velcro to the headrest
* Has a great carrying case
* Has an easy to use remote
* Simple connection between the screens, it's impossible to plug into the wrong jacks
* Clear picture and great sound
* Open/Close is done through the primary unit's screen and seems to be high quality
Cons:
* Doesn't have a battery like many single unit portable DVD players have. This is fine for our use in a car, but wouldn't work for people who like to bring a unit into a restaurant
Digital camera Review: How to trash $200 in 90 days
Summary: 1 Stars
For the first few weeks it worked fine, however, it started skipping and stopping DVDs after two months. I called customer service on 85th days after original purchase date and been told to send the unit for replacement since it was still under warranty, no case number was given at the time. The unit was shipped via UPS and received on 92nd days from the purchase date, and they charged $50 for warranty service since it was received two days after warranty expired. I called customer service again and the representative declined waiving charges because I don't have case number issued within warranty period. In addition, please keep in mind that their service fee includes returning handling and shipping fees as well. Next place for my DVD player? Trashcan *sigh*
Go buy another brand with 1 year warranty unless you purchase extended warranty along with this unit.
Pros:
Cheap
Dual screen
Comes with gaming pad
Detachable screens which is very easy to use.
Cons:
Sub LCD screen isn't sharp as main, I thought it was defective for the first time.
All the games are outdated
Digital camera Review: I will NEVER buy RCA again - EVER
Summary: 1 Stars
This completely died after a few months. We sent it in to the warranty work company, figured we would give it a try instead of being out $175. Well sending it to TX was like donating it to charity involuntarily. We call and we call and we call, get to talk to people in India who read a script, we no longer support this product. Or my favorite, the person who told us what we wanted to hear . We gave them the Fedex Ground tracking # to prove delivery, they said, someone will contact you within 48 hours , that was 3 weeks ago. Big rip off. We would have kept it ourselves and popped open the seals and fiddled with it some - if we would have known they were just going to steal it from us. Sworn off of RCA for life and will tell everyone i know to never buy their products.
