 Does NOT play recordable DVD's June 24, 2008
The box has a list of supported formats which includes DVD+-R and DVD+-RW, but I have two of these Coby 7050's and neither one will play a recorded DVD. The user manual inside the box does not indicate that it should be supported, although the outside of the box is explicit that they are supported. I have tried 5 discs and they all come up with "Wrong Disc" errors. The player does support Video CD's on a CD-R, though I have problems with VCD's with menus. Auto-play VCDs play correctly, but I was unable to select a title inside a menu. I've only had the players for 1 week, but they seem solid and both work fine. The picture and sound are average or perhaps slightly above average. I purchased these with the 2 year warranty because I do anticipate they will break within the next 2 years and I'll want my money back when they do. Plenty of extras are in the box: 2 sets of headphones, car charger, AC charger, video cable, mounting straps for a headrest (which I haven't tried yet), remote with batteries, and the player battery. I'd rate this a good investment, but not if you need to play recorded DVD's.
 Very Disappointing June 20, 2008

We recieved this product as a Christmas present this past year. It was a great gift because we have a 1 year old and it pacifies her while we drive around town and take trips. I can't say that I was disappointed with the performance for the first 3 months. About the 4th month we started receiving a "Wrong Disc" error. We bought a DVD lens cleaner which seemed to help but continued getting the error about once a week. Last week while we were vacationing, we got the wrong disk error with no recovery. I called COBY and they recommended the disk cleaning. I told them that I already did that. They recommended that I take it to Circuit City and they could fix it. I asked if they would reimburse me for the costs to get it fixed and she said no. They only have a 90 day warranty. How ironic that this product starting acting up on the 4th month of use.
I am very disappointed that COBY doesn't stand behind their products better than this. I will go out and purchase a name brand product that will stand behind their products.
My recommendation is to do the same. DO NOT BUY FROM COBY.
Great picture, compact, battery built in June 17, 2008
I was very pleased with the screen clarity and size for such a compact player. The battery is impressively part of the machine instead of hanging off the back. The black face adds to the picture's appeal. A substantial list of accessories is included: 2 headphones, a cassette adapter, cigarette light adapter, AC adapter, remote control, AV cables and headrest case. Jody Bissoon

bought this dvd player for the car for my 5mth old. He didnt like to ride in the car and would scream everywhere we would go. being that he loved to watch baby einstein in the house i decided i would try anything. bought this product and it has become a life saver. our car rides are so much pleasurable. only downfall is he can now kick the buttons with his toes to turn it off. overall rate this product great, would def recommend it.
small con- battery life is very long.
Wrong Disc Error after 1 month - Seems too common with this product May 31, 2008

Had the product only 1 month. Worked great until started getting "Wrong Disc" error. Now the thing won't play any DVD's. Never dropped or exposed to extremes. Stopped working for apparently no reason.
This seems like too common a problem based on my quick scan of other reviews on Amazon.
Now I've got to try to get some service from Coby.....doesn't look like others have had good results with their customer service. Be Warned.
