RCA DRC8000N Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player
DVD+R No longer works
I have mixed reviews on the RCA DRC8000N.  After about two weeks, it completely stopped recording DVD+R discs, though it would play back ones I previously recorded.  I used Memorex and Sony.  I tried a DVD lens cleaner with no effect.  Because I bought the unit refurbished, RCA won't support it.  The on-screen also doesn't work with a Dish DVR receiver, but that's minor.  Fortunately it does still record on DVD+RW media and I can still get a 25 DVD spindle of them for under $10.00, so it's not a killer.  On the bright side, I've recorded a ton of movies from the satellite and even in Normal Mode(4hr) it blows away VHS.  Mostly I record in either 2hr or 3hr depending on the length of the movie.  I can live with the fan noise.  Also I only paid $128 for it and have gotten my money's worth out of it already.  If anyone knows how to get this player to record in DVD+R mode again, I'd love to hear from you.  It's because of this problem that I have to knock this rating down to a 2 stars.
