RCA DRC8005N Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with USB Port
This unit is a total piece of sh!t
I bought this model at Sam's Club about 1 year ago and I've had most of the problems described by previous reviewers. The problems started early on and performing the reset procedure &lt;STANDBY/ON>&lt;STOP> usually seemed to resolve the problems.  I always thought it was me messing something up until recently. The problems keep getting worse and more frequent, and now I read other's reviews and learn they have the same issues. The most irritating problems I have include:  <br />> \\"Bad disk' error (even on new media) <br />> clock jumps +-1 hours or +- 1 day <br />> system lockups <br />> won't eject disk <br />> won't record on demand (i.e., by pushing \\"record\\" button) <br />> won't playback what it records, but disk plays on another machine. &lt;&lt;&lt; you heard right!!! <br /> <br />Even though it's out of warranty, I'm going to raise hell with RCA and the manufacturer (Thompson).  At a minumum they should do a free firmware replacement.  Obviously a bad programmer and bad QA on this one.  This model should never been put on the market.  This is a good cause for a class action suit if you're a lawyer.  Too bad only lawyers make the $$$'s though.  The rest of us will get a coupon for 10% off on a new [POS] unit. BIG Deal :-( <br /> <br />My title says it all - TOTAL POS. Look elsewhere if you haven't already bought this machine. <br /> <br />Thanks for reading my rant. -am-
