Summary: No more Coby
Comment: First, it appeared a remote not to work. I drived back to the shop and changed it. If you think that it is the end of story you are wrong. The remote function still did not work. But I checked the remote at the shop and it worked! So, I drived back again having the whole DVD set with me. Shopmen did not look too happy but they changed the whole DVD-player.
Do you think it is the end of story? No, you are wrong! I enjoyed DVD just a week then it stop reading DVD disks.
Customer Rating:
Summary: May be good only for DVD movies
Comment: I bought this device as my first DVD player, used to work fine. 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. If you plans to use it as a multi format player, you better spend a little more and buy at least a Phillips
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good player for the money
Comment: This player does everything it claims. I especially needed a standalone player that could handle all the "burned" DVDs that pass through my house, and it certainly does that just fine. My only complaint, in fact, is that Coby players seem to be incompatible with all the universal remote controllers on the planet.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A champ in its price range
Comment: Possibly useful advice: use the remote control as much as you can, avoid touching the buttons if you can. This is a VERY cheap machine, built cheaply of cheap parts. Do not expect it to be solidly built. However, if you minimize physical contact it could serve you well for a long, long time.
Evaluation:
___________________________________________________
+ It's inexpensive
+ Seems to be playing all DVD's without failure
+ Nice remote control, batteries included
- I can't think of any, given the low price
___________________________________________________
It's not happening often to me but, this little box performance did exceed my expectations.
We have a 9-10 yr. old 27" TV in the bedroom and we have no intention of replacing it because it does what it's expected to do - help me fall asleep while watching C-Span or maybe a Columbo episode or something of that kind. Up until now, we had problems with various DVD players, some more sophisticated than others, but all demanding that we clean our DVD's and, in many instances, refusing to play some even after repeated cleaning.
I am happy to state that this little [...] player is playing ALL the DVD's I've thrown at it so far, including those that its predecessor, a relatively expensive machine that I threw into the trash after less than 2 years of service, refused to recognize. I've been using its even cheaper [...] cousin for 4-5 months now and it hasn't failed me once yet.
As far as features... well... it plays DVD's. It has stop, fast forward/backward, pause... does it really matter? The remote control is not very well designed but, again, it works well.
Since I'm getting this for the price of a book, it's getting 5 star because it meets and it exceeds my VERY LOW expectations. In the [...] price range, this machine is a champ.
Customer Rating:
Summary: was a present & it's evil!
Comment: This thing actual scratches my DVDs! I have to hit it to make it unfreeze (which my toddler thinks is funny, but I don't). It's getting worse all the time! I've been toughing it out because it was a present and plays VCDs. (and I'm poor) I'm tired of it. This thing is actually an expense the way it damages DVDs!
