I then tried to hookup another VCR to this one so that I could at least use the DVD recorder. Needless to say it did not help and upon calling the company back was told that this replacement machine only had a 90 day warranty which had already expired.
I tried calling the company and was told to clean the heads and to unplug the machine for 30 min. I assumed the "static" was because the tapes were very old until I put them into another VCR that I had and they were perfectly clear. When trying to play the video tapes, there was a lot of "static" on them which would cut out the signal to the DVD recorder causing it to stop recording.
RCA RECORDEE FULL
This "new" machine had only been used a hand full of times, if that, during the time period since it had been received. As a Christmas gift, I was going to record some old VCR tapes to DVD for my husband. This was in the first part of April 2009. I did this and a new one was sent to me within a reasonable time period. I called the company and, since it was still within the 1 year warranty period, was told to return the player. Two weeks before the warranty was up, a video tape was inserted and would not play or eject. The machine was only used occasionally to watch a video tape or DVD. After it was purchased, I began working full time and did not have the time to do this. This VCR/DVD recorder was purchased about 1 1/2 years ago for the sole purpose of copying old VCR tapes to DVD. True RCA DRC8335 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo not worth the money. I have had some good, and bad, experiences with RCA equipment, but this unit lives up to its claims. And using the same unit, with a simple push of a button we can all enjoy the best of DVD quality movies too. My grandchildren have favorite old movies on VHS and now we can still watch them without spending more money to get them in DVD form.
As for how it's performed, it rates a full five stars. I hesitated in giving this unit a full five stars simply because I haven't had to pay for any cost of repairs, and reading other reviews I have a small level of concern. This unit saves the cost of seperate DVD and VHS players, and takes up half the space it used to require to view our library of films. Installation was simple, the unit is compact and sleek, and our family can still watch our old favorite VHS tapes anytime. Recieved this unit as a gift a couple of years ago, and have had no problems with it.
