I have lived with this POS for too long. It has always refused to turn on so I have had to unplug it and then plug it back in. It has a random time generator and so shows the time of day in whatever time zone it feels like that day. It used to at least record on DVD with some consitancy but has now decided that none of the discs previously recorded can be played. It refuses to play any movie on DVD and won't even recognize a VHS tape. I'd like to say what I think of RCA in general and the RCA product engineers but that might get me arrested.
