The technical specifications of a piece of hardware describe the exact characteristics under which that hardware operates. For a computer, for example, processor speed and memory amount would be among its technical specifications. For an RCA portable DVD player, screen size, recognized media and similar things would be technical specifications of the unit.
Screen Size
RCA makes portable DVD players with built-in screens that vary in size from 7 inches to 14 inches. The screen size is measured diagonally, from one corner of the screen to the other. All RCA portable DVD player screens are in the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, identical to the aspect ratio on an LCD or plasma high-definition television.
Compatible Media
Certain RCA portable DVD players are compatible only with DVD video discs and CD audio discs. However, some models can play VCD discs, which are CDs with videos burned on them using a computer. Also playable on these models are photo slideshow CDs, which can effectively turn your portable DVD player into a rudimentary digital photo frame. The compatible media types for your specific model will be listed on the box.
Foul Language Filter
Certain models of RCA portable DVD players have a feature called the "Foul Language Filter." When your portable DVD player is connected to the Internet, the device scans the information contained in the subtitle files on your DVDs. Whenever objectionable words are found, the sound is muted when the actors say those words on screen, protecting your children from harsh language that you don't want them to hear.
