I could have had a bad player because it looked used when it got to me, but the battery would not hold a charge at all. It also skipped like crazy especially on copied DVD's with family videos (even if it wasn't moving).
The best part about the player was the case that hooks to the seat. They should sell that alone (though mine was partly ripped).
Also, I bought it for $89. Amazon upped the price to over $250 . . . that is psychotic.
The new version, the 8503, is probably better. There has to be a reason why the 8501 was discontinued.

This is my second Coby portable DVD player. (Same one both times.) The first time it was a gift and it worked for 2 years. I only used it about once a month on longer road trips. Apparently, just the screen quit working, because it would play through the TV at home. It was never dropped or exposed to extreme temps. so I don't know why it quit, except it's cheap. I bought a second one just like it because the other options were so much more expensive and had fewer features. I assume it will be good enough for the rare use it gets on longer trips. This second one has only been used once and on my older DVDs it would freeze up occasionally. It did not do this on my brand new ones, so I assume the old ones have some scratches, but they play fine in the house and on other DVD players, so I guess it's very sensitive. If you don't mind spending more or want one to last a long time I suggest a better brand. Overall, it's pretty good for the money and it comes with a remote and case for the car and all the accessories. Others don't.

I purchased this product to use in my hobby room for entertainment while sewing or creating projects. A larger, permanent unit would have taken up too much space which I needed for better use so I chose this smaller unit. It is very easy to move from location to location (or room to room, for that matter) and the accessory case which is intended for auto use also allows it to be, with a little transition, hung from the wall. The swivel 8-inch screen is great and the picture/sound quality are outstanding. I am really very, very pleased with this COBY purchase!!!

I had owned this very model already and liked it. It held up well, in my opinion, considering it was being used by a toddler. I decided to purchase another one as we would be traveling.
With two weeks of use and it working fine this unit starting popping and hissing and filling my car with smoke, right in front of my 3 year old son as he was strapped in his car seat (it was mounted on the front seat headrest with the included holder). It was in full flames within seconds of getting IT and MY SON out of the car. I've since researched battery hazards with some Coby products. We are fine but the vehicle headrest is singed in three parts and the player is of course ruined and covered in fire extinguisher residue. I am contacting the seller and manufacturer today and will update my review after that.

Worked good for 4 months. Overnight the player just decided that it would not read discs. 90 day warranty.
NO GOOD!!
