Will it Last Though? I have an aversion to RCA products simply because I've owned 2 RCA DVD players over the last 3 years. The second was a gift and quit 3 weeks after the 1 year mark.

I had an RCA cd player walkman years ago, it literally lasted a month, got a replacement, lasted only a month again. So i can't stand RCA products, and seeing that the DVD players you had that were RCA broke, that further tells me that RCA is a horrible brand.

I've made it my mission to discourage as many people as possible from buying the RCA brand. I was never able to get a reply to any of my inquiries. After searching consumer forums online I found I was just one of many with the same problem. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE of anything made by RCA.

I purchased this unit and now am on my second replacement - rca is hard to work with. I would not recommend this unit. Check out the reviews on Amazon.

When I first purchased this product, it died within the week. I decided to give it another try and it's been almost two months running... I'm just as curious as you are :-)

Hi One thing about these I-Pod players is they don't a have long life. Mine only lasted a 1 1/2 Years and It quit on the I-pod dock the radio still worked and I never tried the Aux Cable. I went and spent a little moremoney on the next one. I bought the Sony and it has held up for almost 3 years. But the reviews about the Sony said the same not a very long life. Just waiting on this one to go out. I know this isn't much help, just my problems with the same player you have.

Candidly, I don't know. Some folks have had them last a long time; other folks have had them die within a few months. I think it is obvious that the quality control and or the quality of parts used is questionable. I have had several months of an awful picture, and the first episode of an awful picture happened when it was about 2 years old. The bad picture lasted 2-3 months.

Mine lasted for two weeks. Now i have to deal with trying to get a warranty credit or a replacement. I enjoyed it while it lasted but not nearly long enough.

I had one, the hdmi board failed the first time we used it. Extremely difficult to get responses from customer service. Finally sent me to a repair center, tried to tell me it was my fault, that I probably did something to it. I had to pay the labor to replace the part. Took 3 month's to receive a new board. The new board lasted less than 1 year before failure of the same part. Out of 1 year Onkyo warranty, even though it was defective to start so they wouldn't replace the part for free. It's a lemon, read the message boards for nothing but complaints!!!!! I would never buy a Onkyo product again, partly due to their poor customer service.

Sorry but I will need more information. What do you mean by "stop after 15 min" ? Was it no power at all or would not play a DVD? I have been using my Sony for years and occasionally have to unplug it and replug it in to clear internal glitches, but other than that I have had no trouble at all.

Mine lasted 4 years. I shoul dof taken out a warranty on it but did not. We habe 5 TV's and they are all SamSung's and never had an issue and some are 8 years old. All bought from Amazon. The Board ?/(greenboard)?? went out on the the 32" Samsung I had. I think I just got a dud as the others are great. I did buy another 32" 720P with a warranty this time. It is doing great..

Mine still solid and running as perfect as when I open the box. We have despised to give away the other DVD player and use this one only and we are very happy with the quality. Good luck to you

We've had nothing but trouble with ours...... now ours will play for a few minutes, then the picture goes black while sound still works (IF you turn it off, then it will come back on for a couple minutes before going black again)....... getting ready to purchase a new one (NOT RCA THIS TIME!).

Mike; the only thing my info packet says is, RCA is in a global international market , and in house brands of electronics; so I'm not sure about this one. reason I bought RCA is our last RCA tv , we had almost 30 years, we don't need all the gizmos so this tv fits our life style. hope this is some help.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Hello, I am on my third bulb all purchased supposedly with 1 year warranty and none were replaced. The first one lasted 30 days, second one 6 months. The last one I bought I am afraid to use the TV so I moved it to another room that doesn't get used much and bought a new TV locally, not from Amazon...Hope you have better luck then me. L. B.

We played regular dvd's on ours, only a couple, and it gave out! If you are looking at a used one, don't buy it! The replacement battery is too expensive.

i purchased this same unit model no. 2.1 serviced it every month. it has died on me. I thought it would last longer than two years. Do you still offer rebates to purchase another one and return this one to you. Please help!
