Having a somewhat older TV and speakers, I was looking for a DVD player that had both S-VHS and optical audio outputs. This was just about the only one I could find. 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. 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. 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. First, the remote I received was a thin credit-card-sized number that seems much cheaper that the version in the picture. 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. Second, the product I received was black and not silver as pictured. 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). It remains to be seen how durable this player will prove, but so far I feel I've gotten all that I paid for.......
Do not waste your time buying this DVD player!!! I am serious!!! I've had this thing for couple of months and now it just wont work. I guess you get what you pay for!!! The screen is jumping up and down and there is no more color. I have tried everything and it still doesnt work!!! What a piece of junk and waste of money!!! Do not waste your money on Coby products!!! They seem promising at first but then couple months later doesnt even work!!!...Dont even think twice about this product!!!......
I brought this thing because I only needed something cheap for the bedroom. It worked alright, albeit with little usage, for about a month then quit working. 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 then phoned Amazon and they were nice enough to waive the 30 day return policy and send me another one. It came in a couple of days but this one only worked for a little over a week. 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. So far so good with the Memorex. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though.......
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. ......
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......
