First, the remote I received was a thin credit-card-sized number that seems much cheaper that the version in the picture. I wondered whether the audio decoding would work as advertised, but with this DVD player connected to an audio receiver I've gotten fine 5.1 Dolby Digital output so far. Second, the product I received was black and not silver as pictured. This was just about the only one I could find. It remains to be seen how durable this player will prove, but so far I feel I've gotten all that I paid for. Interestingly, the player itself has six separate speaker outputs on the back, so apparently you could connect it directly to your speakers if you felt comfortable with the comparatively limited sound-proceeding options on this product.The most significant issue I've had is that the product I received is not quite the same as the one pictured here.
If I were looking for just any inexpensive DVD player I would probably have complained about these issues, but as this one features the outputs I wanted I don't mind too much.If I could, I would make the LED display easier to read (it's nice and bright, but the characters don't offer enough contrast with the blue background) and I'd smooth out the operation of the disc tray (it's just the tiniest bit jerky when opening and closing, and when open it tilts somewhat from front to back). Having a somewhat older TV and speakers, I was looking for a DVD player that had both S-VHS and optical audio outputs. I was a bit nervous about buying what I perceived to be an off-brand, but for the last several weeks anyway it has performed excellently. The buttons on my remote are made of the same material as the rest of the item, and the play/reverse/enter set of buttons are just part of a grid, instead of being laid out in the more typical diamond shape as in the picture.
I am serious. I guess you get what you pay for.
They seem promising at first but then couple months later doesnt even work.Dont even think twice about this product. I have tried everything and it still doesnt work.
The screen is jumping up and down and there is no more color. Do not waste your money on Coby products.
Do not waste your time buying this DVD player. I've had this thing for couple of months and now it just wont work.
What a piece of junk and waste of money.
So far so good with the Memorex. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though. It came in a couple of days but this one only worked for a little over a week. I then phoned Amazon and they were nice enough to waive the 30 day return policy and send me another one. It worked alright, albeit with little usage, for about a month then quit working. I brought this thing because I only needed something cheap for the bedroom. I called the company and they told me to send it to them (I pay for postage) and for a twelve-dollar-and-something return fee they would fix or replace it. I was so angry with it that this time I threw it in the garbage, which is where it belonged in the first place, and went to Target and bought a Memorex.
I drived back to the shop and changed it. The remote function still did not work.
I enjoyed DVD just a week then it stop reading DVD disks. So, I drived back again having the whole DVD set with me.
But I checked the remote at the shop and it worked. No, you are wrong.
First, it appeared a remote not to work. If you think that it is the end of story you are wrong.
Shopmen did not look too happy but they changed the whole DVD-player.Do you think it is the end of story.
Then i bought a Sony Home Theater and left this as my CD/MP3 player (music only) but it only plays some CD-R disks, i dont know if there is a special way to burn the disk in order the COBY can play it.If you are looking only to play movies, this will do it. I bought this device as my first DVD player, used to work fine. If you plans to use it as a multi format player, you better spend a little more and buy at least a Phillips
