Digital camera reviews of RCA DRC630N Portable DVD Player
Digital camera Review: 8 month life span!
Summary: 2 Stars
Sadly, after only 8 months, this player has died. It only has a 90 day warranty and after that you have to pay to have it fixed. After labor and S/H it will be cheaper to buy another one (different brand, of course!) Other than that, it did work fine. It had a nice picture and sound for the time we had it. It did not, however, play dvd-r's as stated in the manual. Our kids (both toddlers) loved it. We used it almost daily and on long trips to Orlando and N. Fla. I have read the reviews about this and similar products and we all seem to have the same problem. I am now thinking about buying them each their own portable player.Digital camera Review: RCA dual screen DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product that is very easy to use. Kids love it. Great for longer car trips. The kids want it to be a permanent part of the car. Have not had any problems with it at all. Would buy again and would recommend.Digital camera Review: rca portable dvd player
Summary: 4 Stars
This player was bought primarily for use in a car.
It worked reasonably well but did not like being left in a car overnight till next morning(heat outside the car was about 85 degrees F.)This caused the player not to work for a while till it cooled off in the air conditioning. Some dvds would not play correctly but on a whole they played very well.If power was interrupted the player would start from the last played spot.Having the two screens worked exceptionally well and made all my kids happy.Trying to use the player for music works but the user interface/software leaves something to be desired as it will arrange any cd/dvd with music into alphabetical files and play one by one(no random setting) even if the cd i burned has random songs on it.
This player is definitely better than most of the other ones I've seen and it did a great job over a two way 22 hour drive.
Digital camera Review: Nice design - but watch for quality issues
Summary: 1 Stars
This unit is a very nice design. The two displays are connected with a single cable, making for an easy setup. Each display attaches to a velcro-strapped backplate that stays on the car headrest. The displays quickly and easily pop off so you can take them inside when not needed in the car - of if the kids want to watch movies in the hotel! The audio is loud enough, and the video bright enough to keep the kids entertained on a long trip.
The problem is in the quality. Our main unit stopped working after only a week. It was not dropped or damaged in any way - it just refused to power up. And without the main unit, the slave display is virtually useless. Another caution: the warranty is only 90 days!
I was concerned about purchasing an RCA product after Thompson Consumer Electronics stiffed millions of TV buyers in the 90's with the "Tuner on Board" failures. Apparently, it's still cheaper to litigate away class action lawsuits than build a reliable product.
Digital camera Review: Good for 3 months
Summary: 1 Stars
This product worked well for 3 months but then suddenly stopped working. No product support from RCA. Do not waste your money on this.
