Product Description:
RCA's RC5240P DVD player is excellent fuel for your digital media desires. It plays not only DVD-videos, but also audio CDs, CD-R/CD-RW, video CDs, and even MP3-encoded CDs so you can listen for many hours at a time. Component- and S-video outputs offer clearer, sharper pictures (with compatible TVs) than standard composite-video, and even with a standard connection, you'll enjoy 720 pixels per horizontal line with your favorite DVDs--more than twice the definition of standard VHS. Enjoy convenient dynamic-range compression (which quiets loud explosions and effectively increases the dialogue level) with Dolby Digital-encoded programs--that's the lion's share of all DVDs--and an optical digital-audio output will transmit true 5.1-channel surround sound to your Dolby Digital-decoding surround receiver. Black-level adjustment lets you tailor the player's image to your viewing environment, deepening the blacks for higher contrast in nighttime or theaterlike environments. Playback features include multiple repeat and programming functions, multi-language/subtitle capability, parental controls, and multi-angle viewing (with compatible discs). A DVD/TV remote control is included with this player. RCA provides a 90-day labor and one-year parts warranty.

This is a great dvd player. I've had no problems with mine. You can play cd's, dvd's cd-r's, vcd's, mp3's, and cd-rw's. I've tried playing my cd's, dvd's and cd-r's and they work perfectly fine. This dvd comes with great features.
2x 4x zoom
plays dvd's cd's vcd's cd-r's cd-rw's mp3's
multiple angle viewing
subtitles
up to 8x fast forwarding and reversing
ability to listen to a dvd in another language
It plays rented movies really well. It doesn't skip or freeze like some dvd players. I do recommend hooking this up to a good speaker system. This is a really good dvd player and I highly recommend getting it.
Comment: No Good Rating:
I had this DVD player for only about 3 months and it quit working, it kept saying LOAD. I called about how to fix it and they told me to buy a new one. I would not recommend this player!
Comment: Let Down by RCA Rating:
I, like others, have had problems with this DVD player. It say's "No Disc" every time. I have had this DVD player for a couple months. Went through the online help with no luck. I contacted RCA, and was told it was a problem with the Player, and they would replace it with the same model. Great. Only at a cost to me of $39.95 plus S&H. That's an expensive DVD player. I already purchased this model once, and It's under warranty, then they want me to purchase it again. Duh.
