A DVD Player with Parental Control.

by surferdude7 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Jan 24 '01
Pros: A superb picture and sound!
Cons: It will not play Mp3 music files or CD-RWs.
The RCA RC5215P DVD player has a built-in parental control. You can preprogram it to view programs rated G, PG, PG-13 and R. If you set it on G it will not play the PG, PG-13 and R rated movies. If you set it on PG-13 it will only play G, PG and PG-13...

RCA RC5215P Digital DVD Player

by khahn86351 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 18 '01
Pros: Great Features, Simple Set Up, Price
Cons: Loud Disk Tray, Freezes Occasionally and Skips
This DVD should have been recalled. RCA is a well known, and well trusted name. Why they would let this particular DVD still be sold in stores is beyond me.

My experience with this DVD player has been far from pleasant. We received a...

Marvien’s Hitchhike Into The Digital World Of DVD!

by marvienhill , May 05 '01
Pros: Great Picture, No more rewinding or fast-forwarding
Cons: Skips, No Way of recording
Light fades into Marvien’s tiny one bedroom apartment introducing the camera to a tv and a naked Marvien. I’m of course watching tv again, wishing I had something better to do. I’d spent the last few hours keeping up with several plots. I watched as...

Pros: Crystal Clear Sound With Incredible Depth and Sharp Images !

I was in my local audio video shop, by the way which is very reasonable and stumbled across this exceptional DVD player by RCA. The people at RCA are the innovative creators of many above standard products. Anyway, I gave the DVD player a trial run and...

A great DVD player at a good price

by bill8643 , Nov 28 '00
Pros: Good price,quality,easy to use
Cons: some other units are cheaper
A dvd (digital video disc) player is to video what the cd player was to music- a tremendous improvement over tape. Just as the cd has made cassettes virtually obsolete, so the dvd will soon render vcr tapes obsolete. There is just no comparison- a dvd...

Pros: inexpensive, loads of features, easy to use remote, parental controls
Cons: little loud when reading DVD's
I recently received this DVD player as a gift from my fiancee. I must be honest and admit that at first I was a little disappointed to see the RCA brand name on the box rather than the always-hoped-for Sony. But now that I have used this machine for...

Ugly looking AND it doesn't work

by MichiganDave , Mar 01 '01
Pros: cheap, easy to use
Cons: ugly looking, breaks EASILY!
The RCA RC5215P's main advantage is its price, and you can still find cheaper, and better players, so thats not really much of an asset. You can find it for less on the internet, and I'm sure in stores. The MSRP of $279.00 is a bit high. RCA advertises...

Close but no cigar

by sadida , Mar 08 '01
Pros: Good price, screen saver, DVD text, plays CDRW
Cons: Odd size, poor video quality, vibration problem, crashes while playing, no CDR support
The RC5215P is a very popular player. You can find it in many stores and it is attractively priced. But, as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for.
When I first decided to evaluate this player I was really excited about it.

Pros: Slim, easy to use
Cons: Slight humming, occasional crashes
I have had a DVD player on my computer for a year now and I finally wised up and bought one for my TV. I didn't believe the people who said that DVD is so much clearer

Pros: Affordable, Quiet, Versatile
Cons: No Zoom feature
Wow, what a deal this baby was! I was scanning around for DVD Players on the internet and couldn't find a new one that was much cheaper on the net than it was in stores. Just before was about to give up my search and take a trip to Circuit City, I...

Nice DVD Player At A Nice Price

by johnenfield , Feb 21 '02
Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive, good picture and sound.
Cons: Can hear it running if TV sound is turned down too much.
