Reviews of the RCA DRC8300N
-
CNET Review
The Good: One-touch VHS-to-DVD dubbing button on front panel; comfortable remote with nice key layout; S-Video inputs in front and back; reasonably priced.
The Bad: Belabored menu navigation; no IR blaster or VCR Plus support; so-so recording quality.
The Bottom Line: RCA's combo VCR/DVD recorder does a good job of archiving old VHS tapes to disc.
Manufacturer: RCA
Part number: DRC8300N
