Very disappointed!
 
Review Date: September 3, 2010
Reviewer: Fefer Beaver, Minnesota
I bought this last year, despite the poor reviews, because I usually watch DVDs about once a week or less. It is very easy to use (though you really don't want to lose the remote control because the unit itself doesn't have a lot of buttons) and it worked very well the first few months. But after about a year, I started to notice lately that there's been a lot of skippings and glitches (on new or good discs). If you plan on using this for longer than a year, then I would suggest buying a different one.

Now I wish I could return it!
Worth the money

For the price, this is an excellent DVD player. I subscribe to Netfilx and watch DVDs regularly, so I've already worn out two other DVD players. Only two drawbacks have come to light so far: (1) the DVD player arrived with an "FAQ" glued to the top of the machine, which I removed with difficulty (I'd have preferred a removable sticker); (2) occasionally, I have problems accessing Special Features (not sure if this is a problem with the machine or me).
Great product for the money

Plays all regions (got to google for how to make it do so), looks good, costs almost nothing. If it lasts couple of years, it would be well worth it.
Blue

Reviewer: Josh in Ohio,
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

Reviewer: Lil MC,
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.
