📹 Enhanced Recording Experience: RCA DRC8060N DVD Recorder with Commercial Advance Review

As the owner of a previous RCA DVD recorder (DRC8040) I had high hopes for it. RCA results for Divx support, ad skip and HDMI output. However, this model lacks features and has some flaws. My biggest gripe is that RCA removed the "Split Header" feature, which is a useful way to do basic editing and free up disk space. Also, the title screen is not always displayed correctly when playing finalized discs on other DVD players. Finally, it seems to prefer +RW discs as I kept getting errors trying…

I've been looking for a long time for a DVD player/recorder that can: - Record in both formats +R +RW -R -RW - HDMI upscaling - DiVX playback - Have firewire for direct video camera recording. MP3 and WMA playback. Has a USB port to view images straight from my flash drive. This RCA device has all that and more. A trade pass is a beautiful thing. It doesn't work all the time, but it works 90% of the time and makes watching previously recorded programs free. The picture is very very good. Sharp…

I ordered this unit and Revain as great as ever, delivered in less than 24 hours (shipping from neighboring state) with very good free shipping. Unfortunately, the device got very hot after an hour of use. I felt behind and found that the fan was not working. I checked visually again and noticed that the fan was twitching slightly, but wasn't really working. I'm putting it together right now to get back to Revane. Unfortunately, the device felt solid and worked well on the two drives I tested…

I thought I would like this device just because I looked at its features and specifications, but after carefully reading the entire manual and working with each function, I decided that I would it shouldn't work.

RCA sent me this model after I bought a previous unit, the DRC8040N, which never worked even after not working with the one advertised RCA technology under warranty. This device has only successfully recorded twice - once directly from my camcorder (but with many freezes, wasted DVDs, and instances where the device suddenly "recognizes" my connected camcorder). The only other successful recording was taken off the tivo but did not contain the programmed chapter titles, had title problems and…

I have been using the RCA DRC8060N for about 8 months. After hundreds of hours of recording (including the entire 2006 FIFA World Cup), I am satisfied that the overall quality, versatility and value of this DVD burner is very good. Below are the pros and cons of buying it: PROS: - Excellent recording quality at 1, 2 and 4 hour settings. The 6 and 8 hour recordings are a bit blurry, but that's understandable. The manual contains a list of RCA recommended disc brands. For the best quality, choose

I bought this unit today hoping to give my DVDs a new twist with HDMI HD upscaling. I put in a Star Wars DVD purchased from Target to test but found it didn't work! I received an error message stating that a DVD that worked fine on my other DVD player cannot be played in that region (ie DVD region). I was surprised and frustrated by this problem. Reading other reviews of RCA DVD recorders I think it's a waste. RCA doesn't appear to have a strong DVD player/recorder product line. In addition…
