 portable dvd player July 14, 2008
Great product. I have purchased 4 portable DVD players over several years and the Coby brand has always been the best!!!! We really like the swivel screen and the picture quality if great. This DVD player has a long lasting battery and the player hasn't skipped once since we bought it. I would highly recommend this product.
 Inexpensive fully featured DVD player. July 13, 2008
Ownership: 9 months.
8.5" fold & swivel widescreen
Pros:
-Lightweight
-Good picture, good resolution
-Plays almost everything
-It comes with many accessories you need. Cassette adapter, earphones, car cigarette adapter, etc.
-Swivel screen is pretty convenient. You can fold it flat on itself to only show the screen
-Comes with a rechargeable battery. It is flat and sits at the bottom of the unit.
-My unit comes with a power adapter that is small & light. Input is 100-240V which works in many countries.
-Has A/V inputs to hook up your video games on the road
Cons:
-The rechargeable battery can easily get loose and detached while in use
-Noticeable whirring noise while playing DVDs
-Battery is good for a couple of hours
We have dropped it from a sofa (15 in) to hard floor while playing and still working good.
AWESOME!!!! July 9, 2008
I think this is a wonderful product!! We took the player on the trip Up North which is a 5 1/2 hour drive. Our first big trip for our 10 month old. I wanted to get one as a last resort in the car on the long ride if all else failed and we needed to find a way to entertain him. So we toted along the DVD player and some Baby Einstein DVD's. My son loved it! I was especially impressed with the free headrest mount that came with it for the vehicle seat. The picture is perfect and the sounds is awesome! I would recommend this product to anyone! I love the 8.5" screen. For the price I couldn't have found anything even close to being better!
 SHODDY PRODUCT AT ANY PRICE July 8, 2008
I saw this portable dvd player on sale at a large electronics store and bought it before really doing any research on it-what a mistake.I agree
with other reviewers as to it's being very poorly designed and made with
no technical help at all from Coby.It really is a shoddy product that
fails in all respects.The sound is so poor that you have to sit right
on top of the unit to hear anything and thats at full volume.If you use
the headphones the sound is distorted with a terrible constant buzz in
the background.The player stops in the middle of a movie for no reason
and constantly freezes or skips on over half of the discs I have tried
to play.The player keeps giving the error "INVALID DISC" on brand new
dvd's which play perfectly on my two regular Sony dvd players.As for
the battery the most time I have been able to get out of a full charge
is 100 minutes.Which is not even enough for a two hour movie.Whatever
the price for this unit may be it"s not worth it-STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE.
Shoddy Product and No Support July 1, 2008
This DVD player had all the right features, but it turned out to be very poorly made and failed to work in less than six months. During the pathetic warranty period, several pixels dropped out, so I call the factory, naively believing that this was a factory defect. They said it wasn't covered under the warranty. I guess I broke the pixels myself. At that point I promised never to buy another Coby product in the future.
We kept using the player and next found that the clasp that holds the unit shut was broken. Considering the gentle usage this player had experienced, this problem was not justified. The unit lasted another two months and then stopped being able to read any DVD.
Coby is known for cheap stuff, but with only six month's usage before self-destruction, the price I paid was much, much, much too high.
