SOURCE: RCA DRC8300N DVD Recorder / VCR Combo manual

Gary. The DRC8335 User Manual is no longer available on Thompson's official support site. But fortunately a few of us downloaded it a year or more ago before it was pulled!

I tried uploading the manual to Fixya several times including just a short while ago. It seemed to upload successfully, but after performing a Fixya search it's still nowhere to be found, just like many others I've uploaded in the past.

But don't worry! You can download it NOW from my personal User and Service Manual archive on OwnerIQ using the hotlink below.

OwnerIQ encrypts all filenames within our personal folders for security purposes which ends-up making them rather unreadable. For this reason, please rename it back to my original filename appearing in blue in the hotlink just below when the download completes

Respectfully, Mike Adams

SOURCE: MY RCA DRC 8320n DVD Recorder/VCR Combo will not

Yah, you're going to be taking that in for repair. I worked for couple of years at RCA / Sony / Panasonic / ... and 60 more names - service center. When a VHS Cassette loading mechanism doesn't work - it probably needs loading motor or loading gear, something repaired. At the cost of DVD and VHS combos these days I'd call it Not Worth Repair (NWR) out of the starting gate. At least $50 an hour, at least 2 hours ... that's beyond the cost of a new one.

SOURCE: I need a manual for this product. Any chance I can

I see RCA no longer has any manuals for that unit. But, is this the exact model number? I mean like I have an RCA DRC8335 VCR/DVD recorder, so I am wondering if it is similar? If so I could work out something for you. Email me at [email protected] if you think I can help with my manual.

SOURCE: rca model drc8052nb. powers on but only says hello

The processor is unable to load the firmware and it gets stuck. Only two things can cause that:
1 - the firmware has been corrupted. The only way to fix that is thru a low level update - the EPROM (the chip in which the firmware is loaded) must be accessed directly for programming and that can only be done by a dealer, they are the only ones that have the special tool and program needed. It will be expensive.
2 - the processor itself has died. In that case the recorder has died - the only way to fix that is to replace the entire motherboard and that will cost you more than a new one.
In either case it will cost you a lot so better junk this one, for the same price you will end with a new one, not a repaired one.

WILL RCA DVD/RECORDER, RECORD MOVIES FROM TV TO DVD DISC

It depends on the model and the source. The DRC212N is not a recorder, so it won't.

Depending on the model, it may or may not have a tuner. (Most modern ones are sold without any tuner. Older models may only have an analog (NTSC) tuner.) I know of one Magnovox DVR/DVD recorder that has an ATSC (digital) tuner.

If you are going to record OTA signals, you will probably need a digital to analog converter. If you are recording from a cable or satellite system set-top box, you need to set the channel on the box and then record on Line In. (Analog cable should record directly.)

Please add a comment with more information about your DVD recorder. I'll be glad to provide more assistance. I hope this helps.

Does this unit record digital tv?

Well yes, Digital TV has nothing to do with the recorder it is the "Format" it is transmitted in, and the reciever is digital, however after it is recieved, & decoded it is simply asignal that can be used via, the Output connections, RCA, CCOMPONENT, HDMI, and thus when attached to a recorder will record what it is fed.

Dvd will not eject. tray will not open. pressing open causes "hello hello". is there a way to manually force the tray to open without damaging the dvd?

The DRC8052N / DRC8052NB / DRC8052NC DVD recorder (sorry cab209, not a PC) has had a LOT of problems. So many that RCA doesn't even list it on their site! There was a firmware upgrade that supposedly fixed this, but I'm having trouble finding it on the web.

As to how to remove DVD:
1) Try unplugging the machine and leaving it unplugged for 10 to 15 minutes. then (without plugging it back in) press the power button repeatedly. (I know it sounds goofy but it came from customer support. Theory: to drain all power) Plug it back in and try to eject.
2) Another owner suggested holding down the HDMI button on the remote. The "hello" mesage is an initialization/power-on routine, so my guess would be it was powered off with the disc in it?
3) Unplug it. Remove the cover (two silver screws on each side and three black screws on the back). Slide the cover off (to the rear). Take the four small screws out of the top of the drive (marked LOADER on mine. Lift out the DVD. Reassemble.
While you have it apart..... You might also look at the circuit board next to the drive in the center of the unit. It has a bunch of capacitors (black or blue, cylindrical, w/ X or Y stamped in the end). If any of these are no longer flat on the X or Y end or have yellow 'goo' on or around them, they have failed and are the source of your problem. They can be replaced, but it may be more cost effective to replace the entire unit.
