RCA RC5215 DVD Player
Waste of money!!!
Last year, I bought this dvd player for my husband as a Christmas present. Initially it played the dvd's well with no problems. Then after about 3 months, the problems began.  It took a long time for the player to read the discs, sometimes giving an incompatible disc message and no disc inserted message at the same time.  We would try to turn off the player without success, then unplugged it manually.  Once it was turned on again, the problem persisted.  We contacted RCA's CS, and they told us how to reset the unit and mailed us a cleaning kit for the player.  When the cleaning kit arrived, we did what the instructions suggested, it didn't help at all.  We called RCA again, and they will send us a new unit if and when: we ship our unit to them (at our cost) along with a check (...) (cost to replace the unit).  BTW, the unit is still under their one year warranty.  Great way to do business! NOT!<br />The problem has gotten worse.  We tried to watch Jurassic Park 3 last night and it took an hour for the player to finally recognize the dvd.  Then towards the middle of the movie, it froze about 3 times. I had to restrain myself from throwing the thing out the front door!!<br />I'm extremely disappointed and will never buy anything RCA again.  The reason for this is that RCA is not acknowledging their warranty.  We have never dropped the player or did anything to cause it to have these problems. For those other owners that are happy and satisfied with their purchase, I'm glad for you.  However, if you run into problems with your RCA players, this could be the situation that  you will be dealing with! Waste of $$$$!
