 awesome for the price August 1, 2005

We purchased this DVD player because it plays DVD-R format discs. This enables us to watch our archived videos on our TV, so that laptop use is minimal.
The screen is very bright (blue) and easy to read. It has many features accessible via remote (i.e. zoom, slow, etc) and functions quickly. Its slim design makes it able to fit in tight places, although like most other DVD players can only be set up horizontally. Installation was a breeze, and it functions well with our satellite, VCR, game cube, and TV.
For an off brand (off brand only because it is dwarfed by the bigger corporations; Sony, Toshiba) it performs better than I expected. A month after purchase, it is still running like new.

I may have been the one in a thousand buyers, but I had to return this item after getting about 10 minutes of normal Play operation and then it froze up. After I tried all the trouble-shooting procedures in the Owner's Manual, all I could get was a very long "Loading" message followed by a "Wrong Disk" message. I then tried five different DVDs that I knew were working O.K. on my other DVD player with the same results. Thank goodness that I ordered this product through Amazon.com and was able to return it for a full refund/no postage
charge. All I lost was two hours of fruitless trouble-shooting time!
Well, he/she is not the only one. Mine does the same thing now. I was getting ready to play a DVD when it just froze up with the same problems described above. This person was lucky cuz he was able to return it for a full refund. I did not order it off Amazon. I got it on Sale through a Sav-On Drugs Store so I'm stuck with a dead DVD player. I paid I think $30 bucks for it so you know how that saying goes ... You get what you paid for. This is junk. Don't be cheap and just shell out the extra bucks for a Sony, Panasonic, or other name brand DVD Player.

I received this DVD player for a Christmas gift. I used it 5 times and it has not worked since. Between my Mother and I (she is the one that gave it to me) we couldn't find the receipt to return it. I called the place she purchased it and they would have returned it but no longer had any in stock. The manager made it very clear that alot of them had been returned for the same exact issue-reading disk error. So here I sit with this DVD player that doesn't work at all and yet it is just like new. I thought Coby was a decent brand but I guess not.
 Awesome DVD player... Buy It! December 8, 2005

This DVD player is great... It is nice and compact and has an awful lot of great features for the price. I especially like it because it is compact and doesn't take up a lot of room. It can fit basically anywhere. I nice touch is the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital preamp output. If you have a 5.1 ready receiver connect the analog ouputs and you will have a sound system that rival that of the best movie houses.
If you have a computer that can burn CDs, this DVD player will play your MP3 discs. Add an easy to use menu screen, easy setup, and you have one heck of an outstanding DVD player. I bought it not only because of the price, but also because of the progressive scan picture quality with the new digital TV sets. An amazing picture all the way around... If you're looking for a good dvd player for a great price, this is the one to buy...
