Hooked this player up, it was light as a feather and looked great. But everything was blue. Tried 2 sets of component cables and 2 different HDTVs.
I think its safe to say I got a bad player. The previous version of this model was great; we had it for several years. Unfortunately, this is enough
for me to look for a better brand.

Big Fat Let Down

I bought this Coby dvd player because it was listed as being NTSC/PAL compatible. I loved this because I buy a lot of dvds from the U.K., dvds from some of my favourite shows like The Catherine Tate Show, Footballers' Wives, Keeping Up Appearances, etc. This alleged compatibility was totally deceptive. It should have been clarified that it would be compatible with tvs that are NTSC or PAL. It is NOT compatible with dvds that are Region 2 (PAL) coded. The only way this dvd will work with a foreign dvd is if it is listed as Region O. To say I was let down or miffed by this experience, would be a bit of an understatement. I will NEVER waste my money on a Coby product ever again! I would sooner set my money aflame.
If you are wanting a dvd player to play Region 2 dvds, like those from the U.K., don't waste your money on this product. Trust me, you would be wasting your money. |

| As far as the picture and playback quality of this player, it's pretty good for the price, but it has its hateful side. I can't get the buttons on the front to work without mashing them hard enough to make the player scoot back so I have to do everything with the remote. It has been switching between playback modes of its own accord with no explaination (audio language, subtitles randomly turning on, getting stuck on pause if I pause it longer than a minute, etc.). For the price, it's good enough. I only bought it as a temp while I look for a good DVD player/recorder unit. I'd advise you to buy this only as a backup for a bedroom or kid's room. Don't make this your primary unit. |
Conveniently small, but lacks quality.

| The size of the player is small and portable, which would be the reason why it caught my attention. It was also marked at a cheap price, which was the selling point for me. However, purchasing the product has become an nuisance. Every single disc that I have played in this player has been a disaster even though all of the discs are in mint condition. During normal playback the DVD player has skipped several DVD chapters, completely stalled during playback with frozen video along with an annoying audio buzz, or it would constantly display video glitches as if there was a smudge of some kind on the disc. After ejecting each disc I would inspect the disc to see if there was any form of warping, scratches, or smudges as a result of fingerprints or anything similar, but they always appear clean and void of any blemishes. |
Inexpensive DVD Player delivers most value for the money

I was looking for the least expensive single disk DVD player to watch movies on an old CRT, and this more than does the job. Three minor quirks that I can live with for the price:
1. The remote buttons are all the same size and laid out in a grid. To effectively use the remote, I need to read each of the labels. The eject button is next to the status button, and a few times I thought I was pressing the status button to find out where I was in a movie, only to have the tray open.
2. The only moment of panic with the device was about a week after I received the player when the remote just stopped working. Nothing I tried would make it work (replacing the batteries, new batteries). In dispair I turned off the player and walked away, thinking that I had overpaid as it only worked for a week before dying. When I tried turning it back on the next day, I discover everything was working just fine. The remote stopped working again about a month later, but turning off the device and turning it back on solved the problem immediately.
3. You cannot rewind past a chapter break.
Bottom line: If you are looking for a simple, inexpensive player to play a single DVD this will more than meet your needs. |
