Total waste. RCA has lost all good reputation, branding nameless foreign products and losing face
Pros
Would hold down a tarp over your garden equipment quite well
Cons
Destroys rented DVDs, eats money and discs, disappoints, infuriates, may cause murder and/or suicide
Recommended it?
No
The Bottom Line:
Do not buy. Rated WORST DVD RW ever sold by 100 ratings companies. Deceitful support claims, unbranded foreign $hit branded RCA
I bought this DVD Recorder from Woot.com, which I do not blame for this product being a piece of $hit(POS). They disclose openly when their offerings are crap. You get a deal, and they admit it might not be the greatest deal.
To the facts... this POS came with one Verbatim DVD RW disc and that has been the ONLY disc to work for Re Recording, not without major deficiencies. I have used many brands of DVD RWs and also DVD Rs for shows I planned to give my grandfather for flawless viewings upon "Finalizing Disc". If you do your searching, you'll find this is a unit which is flawed and the manufacturer, and RCA, knows it is flawed. Just do some searching, users will tell you their horror tales of RCA service and how many people even claim RCA stuck it to them with fees and charges and never fixed OR returned their POS.
The facts: This unit might record your properly entered schedules, or it might not. It has a system clock which sets itself to Bizarro Time. You can select AutoSet or Manual Setting, but it will change within a few days to an hour and minutes which don't follow any logic. Whether you ever turn it off or not, the time will never be right, and it will record according to it's false time setting.
If you Do decide to finalize a disc, it will produce a seemingly great visual menu for the unsuspecting sucker you give the disc to. The titles won't play through, and you'll be asked why you gave them a bad disc.
Yes, the machine freezes quite often. Usually when you hit the eject button and it tells you it must update the data and contents menu. This can take you 45 minutes, and then the machine will freeze anyway, and you have to fish behind it to unplug it. It rarely ever ejects a disc with enough time to begin recording your program.
It takes a solid 4 minutes to eject a disc with no changes made to it, load the new one, and stop saying "NO DISC". If you modified the disc by recording or erasing, it will take you about 11 minutes until the flimsy drawer will pop out.
Forget this man-made headache, you're better off using BETAMAX tapes or trying to record to strips of bacon wound around a spool than buying and using this piece of $hit RCA degraded their name upon.
Also, it will try to record over pre-recorded DVDs whether rented or bought. Don't even need you to press record, it just lasers over it's surface until you get huge fines for destroying DVDs.
