RCA RC5220P DVD Player

Pros: RF out
Cons: Sometimes freezes/skips, lacks some inputs, poor picture and sound, CD-R "dangers"

The RCA RC5220P is a basic DVD player. Of course, with majority of DVD players, “basic” does not mean “poor quality”. But in this case, it does.

Picture And Sound

Although much better than VHS videotape recordings, the...

Pros: Outstanding features and quality for the price
Cons: Additional adapters and cables some may need are not included

It all began one evening when my wife looked over to me and said, "Hon, lets go see The Matrix". After seeing the movie I knew that I had to own it. Three weeks prior to its scheduled release, I zipped over to Reel.com and pre-ordered my...

Pros: Good picture and sound, nice programmable remote
Cons: No autoselection of soundtrack

I recently read that the market penetration of DVDs has quickly surpassed anyone's predictions for a new technology. I started collecting laserdisks in 1977 when they first hit the market. It was difficult to find many movies on them. The picture and...

Pros: programming choices, picture and sound quality and price
Cons: remote control

The RCA 5220p DVD video player is an excellent buy and for the money you pay, you get RCA's great quality. I purchased this DVD player this weekend at Wal-mart for $230.00 with some hesitation as I was already hooked on the Panasonic brand.

Pros: great dvd, great functions and amenities
Cons: none

About 3 days after the release date my copy arrived in the mail. Excitedly I opened the package and stuck it into my DVD drive. Well isn't this strange? The player won't read the disc? After inserting other DVD titles I already owned with no problems, I...

Pros: Good Picture, Decent Sound!
Cons: Not compatible with every movie and support just plain stinks!

One day when I was shopping at the local Best Buy, I came across an unbelievable deal! I found a name brand DVD player for less than $200. At the time this was unheard of and the closest price to it for name brand was $299. I went ahead and bought the...

Pros: good picture, great price
Cons: has a tendency to freeze and then start the movie over from the beginning

I've been in the market for a DVD player for some time. My roommate has one in his room and I've infrequently used it but loved it when I have. The picture quality is much better than on VHS players. I found my DVD player by chance on a trip with my...

Pros: It works
Cons: Sporadic performance

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I bought the RCA model for one reason - it was the cheapest model available at the time. I thought that I was getting a good deal; I could watch DVD movies without scraping too deep into my bank account....

Pros: Excellent quality!
Cons: Cost, but they are really getting reasonable

Santa Claus brought the best gift ever this year...a DVD player! We had a DVD player on our computer for quite some time now, so we had a few DVDs stocked up, but nothing prepared us for this! Yeah, the movies were great on the computer DVD, but after...

Pros: Get to see more actual filming, easier to view scenes in middle of movie, Disc compatible
Cons: hard to rewind or fast forward

Everyone should experience the thrill of a DVD. I have nothing against normal VCR's, but the technology on these systems is amazing. You can view scenes in the middle of the movie without having to worry about rewind or fast forward. You can see hidden...

Pros: Great price, nice features, simple to use.
Cons: You really do need S-Video to get the most out of it.

I'll start this review by making a statement, that, while not original, has never been more obvious to me as it has been in the last 4 days.

DVD RULES.

I bought my first DVD player ever on Wednesday, and I am not disappointed one...

Pros: Good price and great features
Cons: None, really

Buying a DVD player is something most people will end up doing as the VCR will eventually be phased out as a media player. Now, which one do you get? There a myriad of DVD players already, some very expensive, some inexpensive. Many consider RCA to...

Pros: Great products
Cons: Good for beginner to read manual a lot

I brought this product because I heard that the DVD player is good picture. It is great the foreign language subtitle, so I want to learn Spanish. I want to have a movie on the DVD CD instead of VCR tapes to save my space for video library.

...

Pros: Price, Performance, User-friendly
Cons: None Yet

A few weeks ago, while wandering aimlessly around a local shopping center, I suddenly focused on a video screen that happened to be playing a DVD movie in a Radio Shack outlet store. Yada, yada, yada...whoops! Man, is that a great picture! I mean, hey!...

Pros: crystal clear picture, surround sound capable
Cons: yet to find "Major League" on dvd

The advantages to dvd over vhs are plentiful. The disc lasts a lifetime, no wearing down each time you watch the movie. The picture quality is awesome, you can see the difference in crispness of the screen with one glance. Being able to fast foward to...
