RCA RC5400P Portable DVD Player
Looks can be deceiveing
If one takes a good look at the RCA dvd player, it looks quite nice--just as I thought. However, I bought this particular model and was a little disappointed. It is of poor build and quality. First off, The silver plate on the lid was not attached properly and was coming up at the seams. Then the actual door, to open to put a dvd in, was bent and had a slight arch to it. The rubber disks on the back to keep it from sliding around on a surface peel right off from the extreme armount of heat it gives off while running. Speaking of operation, it doesn't play all dvd's. It wouldn't play the 3 James Bond's I have (it did play everything else however). The picture quality is so-so--too pixelated. also, the volume doesn't go up loud enough--a bad disadvantage for plane trips, I couldn't hardly hear! I had to actually put the subtitle option on to enjoy the movie on the plane. The only plus was the portability and convenience. I think, however, it is going back to were it came from, and a new search must be started for a portable dvd player to purchase. I thought it had potential from the nice and inviting appearence, but I really think RCA can do much better.
