Does not play CD-R music discs.,
May 31, 2000 By A Customer
This review is from: RCA RC5910P 5-Disc DVD Player (Electronics)
I have this player and it does not recognize CD-R discs. The only reason I would buy a 5 disc changer is to use it to double as a CD changer. Unfortunately this one does not recognize CD-R's. If you record your own music onto CD-R, this is not the machine for you. It also has a habit of dropping frames in DVD and makes popping sounds on music CD's. The programable remote is also limited in the number of other devices it will recognize.

RCA RC5910P 5-Disc DVD/CD Changer,
June 8, 2000 John Wesley Hester (Selma, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA RC5910P 5-Disc DVD Player (Electronics)
As the last review of the products states, I too have noticed this DVD player dropping frames (not sound) during DVD playback for no logical reason. Also, I've noticed a white, horizontal line of static appear totally random from time to time during DVD playback also. Furthermore, like other RCA video products I've owned it the past, the video cuts out for a fraction of a second during white desolves (where the screen goes completely white) or thunder effects, explosions, etc. during DVD playback. I would not recommend this player for DVDs. Sony will soon be releasing a new 5-disc changer, the model DVP-C660D to replace its DVP-C650D. This player will also be priced at the $350 mark! I'll keep my RCA DVD/CD Changer as a CD changer only.

DVD Changer A Plus... Graphical Distortion Distracting...,
December 14, 2000 Philip R. Dugan (Anchorage, AK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA RC5910P 5-Disc DVD Player (Electronics)
All right, you'll see good and bad reviews on this, mostly professional reviewers will give good, and owners bad. I would venture to say that most will not notice the problems till they have owned it for a few weeks.I have to say that the features built into this player are great, and having the 5 disk changer can allow for movie marathons you wouldn't believe. The problem with this player is that you will get graphical distortions and full frame losses at random times. This can happen as frequently as 10 times in one movie, to none at all. After owning as many electronics as I have in the past, I would venture to guess this might be caused by a touchy power supply, but I'm no electronics engineer. I have recently picked up the 5 disk from Hitachi, which seems to be the exact same piece of hardware, and still maintains the same problems. Depending on the movie(s) you'll love or hate this player.
