Reviews of the RCA Lyra A/V Jukebox RD2780
-
CNET Review
The Good: Clear, sharp video; records video and audio from some analog sources; slick interface; TV and stereo output; internal CompactFlash slot; slide shows with audio; timed recording.
The Bad: Can't record copyrighted VHS and DVD content; many features disabled in current firmware; lacks remote.
The Bottom Line: Television recordings play back fine, but viewing purchased and downloaded video is tougher.
Manufacturer: RCA
Part number: RD2780
