Description
A new RCA combo DVD recorder. Model DRC8335 features both analog and digital TV tuners for over-the-air reception, providing a crystal clear picture and more channels than DVD recorders that only record analog TV programming or don't have the ability to tune any channels. The DRC8335 is a full-function VCR and DVD recorder. It can record standard analog cable TV, analog broadcast TV, and digital broadcast TV with its built-in twin-tuner NTSC/ATSC design. The combo unit also works easily with set-top boxes that bring digital cable and satellite signals into a home, allowing for easy time shifting and enjoyment of favorite programs after they are broadcast. The RCA DRC8335 is truly a full recording solution.

Strengths: good paper weight
Weakness: everything; product and service
Worked fine the first day and then...the trouble started. Tuner had trouble holding the channels, the VCR and DVD mechanisms quit loading media. Fortunately they wouldn't take them in vs. not kicking them out, so i didn't lose any. Never got to try recording.Sent the first one back when it was stuck on "HELLO" and didn't even make a good night light. After receiving a second unit that did not...
Strengths: none that I found.
Weakness: was once a good brand but what happened to quilty.
the first problem I had was it would not read a new Dvd format not found. Next vcr 50/50 split on no pictuer and bad sound. Or bad pictuer and very bad noise. returned to wally world with no porblems.
Strengths: None
Weakness: Locks up easily, has no service no phone number for problems
Returned the original to Texas, then kept following up,. customer service a frustrating joke. No one knows what the other dept. is doing. Finally they sent a replacement which lasted one month before not showing local tv channels. Now in the process of returning for full refund. Lots of luck.
Strengths: Digital Tuner, Price, Dubbing feature
Weakness: 1) Faulty VHS tracking, 2) tuner -- unreliable switching; incomplete reception, 3)audio -- weak output on playback through TV, 4) OTR is unavailable for VCR, 5) no instant on
.... Will not receive digital channels that display fine on TV, . No instant on due to software based boot up and disc read, . Neither DVD nor VHS can be viewed while other is recording, . Primitive function routines that require return to menu or viewing stop or disabled feature to access other. . I returned my first unit to Wal-Mart after about 6 weeks. It ruined a +RW disc after only a 2nd...
Strengths: ATSC Digital tuner and price
Weakness: Video output can't be controlled for a 4:3 TV signals for the on board TV tuner, tapes or disk.
Video output can not be controlled from the the old NTSC 4:3 format when using the Component (Y, Pb, Pr) video output to a HDTV. The non-HDTV (4:3) picture is always stretcted out and therefore destorted. IF your HDTV has the ABILITY to switch from 16:9 to 4:3 when in Component video mode, this will not be a problem. I am using the composite (yellow wire) ouptut to my HDTV set since I can set my...
Strengths: For the short time it worked, I was able to put my camcorder tapes on dvds, but it was not user friendly.
Weakness: It has completely stopped working after about ten hours of use.
After checking the Net, I found there was a physical defect in this unit that RCA will not stand behind. My unit has all the problems as described in several sites. When I called Thomson RCA, a foreign speaking person assured me it was my problem, not theirs. No more RCA products for our house.
Strengths: Absolutely NONE!
Weakness: Everything! Nothing works.
I bought this piece of junk from the Heartland America online-catalog for $165.00. I thought it was a great deal. They didn't advertise it's model number (so it couldn't be researched beforehand) or the fact that it was refurbished, not new. I had to wait 6 weeks for delivery. Once installed, every complaint written about it on this site, happened to me too. Now I've got to return it and then...
Strengths: Works great at first.
Weakness: Fails within a few months.
I originally purchased the model before this one, which failed within the one year warranty. It was replaced by this model, which has failed after only 5 months. Now I'm out of warranty and out of luck. You'd think RCA would go beyond their warranty policy after shipping me a second lemon, but no.

Strengths: Nice looking
Weakness: Freezes up and loses channels
I bought one of these models that was on sale for $99.00 at Zellers in North Bay Canada I see others paid over $200.00 for same unit.
