 Perfect For What I Need May 6, 2009

This system is wonderful for a starter set. If you're a college student, new to surround or looking for something simple for a smaller room, this is a great choice. The biggest plus about this system is that I can hook up my Xbox (RCA hook up or digital). Keep in mind that If you hook it up with RCA you can't get surround, but the stereo sounds amazing. I was afraid of Coby from all bad reviews on other systems. This one really exceeded every expectations. Very clear sound, great price and a great DVD player make this perfect.
I'm 21 and live in an apartment so the rooms aren't that big. I have a 100 sq. foot living room. This system is just right. When you finish setting it up (took me about 30 min, running cables and all) you need to put in a DVD like Lord of the Rings to test out the sound. If you leave everything at the default you'll notice that there's almost no bass and the center speaker is WAY over powering. Play around with your setting for a while, you CAN get bass out of it, just look through the menus.

I view the Coby DVD938 from a "Value" perspective. Based on the relatively low price I do not expect top of the line performance; however, I do anticipate solid quality from a set of basic features.
The Coby DVD938 delivers on this criteria. Nothing fancy, just basic features with decent sound quality.
I would not recommend this for your main home-theater setup. Instead I would recommend it for a secondary system.
My only "Beef" with this unit is the way in which the audio source defaults to DVD each time the unit is powered off and back on. Add to this a really long delay on the Coby when switching between audio source input (approx. 3-5 seconds) and three audio input sources (DVD, Radio, Line). My primary use is for audio from my Dish satellite receiver. This is the "Line" audio source on the Coby. So, each time I power the unit on I trudge through the process to switch to "Line" audio input... My work-around solution to simply mute the Coby when powering down, then un-mute when powering back on (saves lots of time, but wastes some electricity I suppose).

Not a bad product. Sounds good after replacing 20g wire with bigger 8g. Does not remember settings after turned off(including volume). Volume very high when turned on and no control for about a minute. Quality of speakers and sub ok. Very not up-to-date for connecting to modern hi-def tv's. Your old school rca jacks. Worth it to spend more on a more quality, up to date system.

We ordered this surround system. It arrivd in a timely manner via UPS an the box appeared in good condition. We opened it up and hooked it up and nothing worked, except the little red light. The DVD/CD player door did not even open and we could not get any radio stations.
We thought, okay, let's send it back and get a replacement. A replacement came right away and the UPS people picked up the defective one promptly.
The second one did not work any better and so we sent it back and requested our money back.
The best thing about this whole ordeal was that Amazon.com took it back, arranged for the item to be picked up, sent a replacement before they got the defective one back, and when the second one was also defective, they arranged for the second one to pomptly be picked up and refunded our money fast.
I certainly will order from Amazon.Com again.
My TV'S LOUDER!!! December 18, 2009

I bought a RV In 2008 that had a coby surround sound it and for the most part am very pleased with it. But this particular Coby home theater system is not half as good as the one I already have. I've always said you pay for what you get and that couldnt be more true for this product. I am EXTREMELY disatisfied! My 26" vizio tv is louder than when I turn the coby ALL the way up. And I had to take the screen off the sub to and feel the speaker just to know that it is working! No air blows out of the port or anything, and again what do expect for [...] bucks? Everything else about I do like. Just the sound quality really stinks!
