Overview
RCA's DRC79982 plays Blu-ray discs through RCA-cable connectivity, with this listing specifying 480p SD output. It comes in a multicolor finish and weighs 2.8 lb.
A 480p output on a Blu-ray player is lower than the 1080p or 4K output typically associated with Blu-ray, so buyers wanting full high-definition disc playback should confirm this spec before ordering. RCA-only connectivity means no HDMI is listed, which limits it to older televisions or AV setups.
- Blu-ray disc playback
- 480p SD output
- RCA cable connectivity
- 2.8 lb, multicolor finish
Who it's for
Buyers with an older TV or AV receiver that only accepts RCA composite connections and who play DVDs or Blu-ray discs at standard definition. Not for anyone wanting full HD or 4K Blu-ray picture quality, since only 480p output is listed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Plays Blu-ray discs
- RCA connectivity suits older TVs and receivers
- Light at 2.8 lb
- 480p output, well below typical Blu-ray HD resolution
- No HDMI connectivity listed
Performance notes
RCA composite output caps this player at standard-definition 480p regardless of the disc format played, so Blu-ray discs will not display at their native high-definition resolution through this connection. It suits pairing with older televisions that lack HDMI inputs.
