    a good idea but in reality...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 29, 2004 | 16 out of 18 found this RCA DRC8300N review helpful

    Pros: burn a permanent dvd

    Cons: inconsistant quality

    A dvd recorder seems like a great idea, burn a permanent dvd with no picture degrading like a video tape. But in reality this unit still has a lot of bugs. First my dealer isn't all that familiar with their operation and when problems arrise (a...nd they did) it was figure it out as we went. The set up is fairly easy, operation is quick and picture quality is super. Now for the bad side. The disk need to be finalized after recording to allow them to be played in any other dvd player. But they will not consistantly finalize. This is a real waste of time and disks. After a month of trying to see a pattern to these failures my dealer suggested I take another recorder home to see if it operated better. First 2 disks recorded but then failed to replay. Third disk (another brand) was okay. I feel the failure rate is way to high and RCA tech support is a joke. Their first question is "was I using a +R disk". Am I an idiot? I guess so for buying their product. It's pricey and I recommend other buyers to wait and ask alot more questions. Let the buyer beware. Read more Less

    RCA DRC

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 24, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this RCA DRC8300N review helpful

    Pros: When it worked it did what I expected.

    Cons: Reliability was awful

    I bought this unit in November of 2004 on line from Best Buy. After a month it the operation of the unit hung up occasionally. After 3 months the clock didn't work to record. I took it to the shop for warranty service and it was repaired. After... owning it for less than 18 months it won't play or record. I took it to the shop where I got the warranty service and they told me they couldn't get the needed part to repair it (the laser unit). So after 18 months I'm out the approx $350 I paid for this piece of junk. A warning to all... avoid RCA. Read more Less

    Already have to have fixed

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 20, 2006

    Pros: When it works, it's fine

    Cons: Only have had it less than 2 years

    DVD side already stopping to play--several got stuck inside when trying to figure out if it was rented DVD's or the machine--it's the machine. Paid a fortune-not worth even 1/4 of what we paid. Taking it to a shop to see how much it will cost... for repair--probably more than a new one now. Will never buy another RCA product again! Read more Less
