Title: Stay away from RCA
Review: This player has major problems with certain disks. It can't even begin to play John Carpenter's Vampires. "The Matrix" (dual layer disk) gets about half way through, then only plays every other chapter. The player's computer software(firmware) loses it's mind all too often even on disks it has previously played causing the "incompatible disk message" which requires resetting the player by unplugging it. If you play back movies using the Dolby Digital sound setting you get periodic pops in the soundtrack and times when the sound goes away for a few seconds. I have to say overall it has been a very pathetic DVD player thus proving once again that "you get what you pay". If you have one of these players and think it's great, just wait over time with more movies played you will change your mind!
