 Great Product May 20, 2007

This little player is great. It is kind of loud when it spins up, but its not all that bad. The picture is fantastic, sound is also suprisingly good quality, it also has all the features of higher priced ones. I love that it is a swivel screen and comes with a case to hang it on the back of the seat with. it even has audio and video in, I am going to try to hook up the PS2 in the car and see if it works, which I am pretty sure it will. I happy enough with this product that I bouight 2 of them one to keep each kids quite in the car on long trips. Hope this helps you select your player.

Hey there this was my 13th portable dvd player I buy one every other month or so, after they get a lil scratched I sell them. Anyways im very hard on these and this held up better then most, not to mention the eople below me have oviously never bought a portable dvd player before. This unit does have a Rewind and Fastforward feature you just have to hold down the sceen skip feaature button 3sec's to access the 2-32x speeds. Most portables dont have the resume feature. Like i said i have have quit a few portable and i would reccomend almost any Coby DVD player there normally the best of the bunch, on durability and sound. This unit has about 3hours of battery life and i have at one point left it playing on loop plugged in for over 78hours.
Read up on what you buy ALWAYS but bear in mind some people are never happy. Good Luck
 Okay, but decided to return for something better February 20, 2007

This machine was okay, but I thought I could do better for my money. The noise of the disk running was so loud when it was sitting on my lap, that I had to turn the headphones all the way up. That did not seem like a good, long-term solution. Also, the swivel and the case were very cheap plastic. It felt like it would not last long. In the end I returned it and bought a more expensive, but hopefully longer lasting Sony swivel screen. So far it is heads above the Coby.
After 2 of These DVD Players Die, We Give Up!! February 6, 2007

I was very excited to get this DVD player for my wife. She used her old one all the time and this seemed to have comparable features and a good price tag. Unfortunately, sometimes you get what you pay for. The first unit I purchased broke after 3 months of use. It would not recognize discs anymore. I got a replacement and now 3 months later the brand new unit (not refurbished) is doing the same thing! Coby will take it back for limited warranty service (even though I am 3 days outside the 90 day window), but they are making me pay for shipping to them and then I have to enclose an $18 money order for return shipping. But what are they going to do, send me a 3rd unit that will break? I am very upset about this and want to warn you that if you plan on using this on any sort of regular basis, beware: it will die. So long, Coby!
(I would change my stars to 1 if it would let me!!)
 Decent DVD player, but spend a little extra and get better ones. January 10, 2007

I got it for my 18 mon old, to use on a long plane journey to India, along with an extra battery. The player looks nice, isn't too bulky, and reasonably sturdy. However, it is slow (press next chapter for a DVD, and it takes considerably longer than a regular DVD player). Battery life is enough for one movie. It doesn't have dual headphone jacks, nor does it have FF/REW/SUBTITLE buttons on the unit itself, need to use remote for that. Swivel feature is cool. Doesn't come with a decent bag. The remote doesn't have volume control (no big deal though). I also had it freeze the picture (audio kept playing) on multiple occasions mid-movie, and had to do a little rewind/fast forward (whose buttons aren't on the unit) to get it moving again.
All in all, a decent inexpensive portable DVD player.
