Steer clear - usb worked badly, died after 45 daysNovember 20, 2008 The usb did play mpeg videos copied from my pc, though not what I hoped for. Switch to usb mode takes about 45 seconds. Back to dvd is another 25 seconds. It plays jpgs but the lag is so bad that you'll just live with the slide show or not bother. When it finishes playing a mpeg it immediately starts playing the next - would be nice if this was an option, but you have no choice. To get out of the loop you have to switch out of usb mode and back again. Unit died on me after 45 days. Contacts RCA for support and never heard back, apart from the auto reply which said 3 days.
RCA support is horrible, they don't even have a phone number. I'd steer clear of all their stuff for a while.
Good For Only 7 MonthsOctober 27, 2008 I wanted a DVD player that upconverted to HDMI; picked this one despite the negative reviews because it was cheap and a Consumer Reports Best Buy. It worked fine for 7 months; one quirk is that I couldn't get it to NOT strech 4:3 dvds so I ended up only viewing letterbox dvds on it.
However about 7 months later it started freezing up on DVDs, and now it can't seem to play anything. What a piece of junk.
Not as advertised - misleadingAugust 29, 2008 I purchased this item for the TV Guardian feature, but I cannot find it on the set up menu. I have even had an(very limited and not easy to come by)email from customer service that explained the steps as to how to get it to work. It is just not there. It has a feature that allows me to set the level of movie allowed to play (G, PG, R etc...) but that is not what TV Guardian is. It was only about $40 with $15 shipping so to send it back would be a waste. So I guess I will just have to keep it as a back up or ebay item.
Good while it lasts, which may not be longJuly 29, 2008 My first RCA DRC285 player performed very nicely for about 6 weeks, and then failed, with the picture freezing into a random pattern on the HD screen, and with all controls on the unit and the remote having no effect. Unplugging it unfroze it for a few times, and then it crashed altogether. I sent it to Thomson's Austin, Texas warranty return location, and two months later received a replacement unit. This one lasted through about 5 DVDs and failed so completely that not even unplugging it could unfreeze it. I haven't decided if I will send this one in for another warranty replacement. The new instructions indicate you now have to send it to Canada, which really speaks poorly for Thomson Electronic's response to their obvious quality control problems. Unless you hear that the Canadian models are way more reliable, I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone, which is too bad. For basic upconvert DVD viewing, I thought it worked quite nicely.

Defective productMay 4, 2008 OK, I normally research my products before I buy them. Well, I was out buying a well-researched new TV and saw this on sale and figured, Why not? RCA has traditionally been a good brand. After bringing it home I saw all the bad reviews, but my unit played beautifully so I kept my fingers crossed - for about 3 weeks. Maybe lasted through 3 movies. Then it stopped recognizing discs.
The Philips DVP59xx units are similar in features and price, but seem to stay alive a bit better than these RCA units.
