 Disappointing - doesn't last December 18, 2008
John E. Lendrum (Kitsap County WA)
Movie doesn't play in sync. Sounds/voices come after the actions. Very distracting to try to watch...looks like a really bad lip sync job. Plays fine on other DVD players. I'd pass on this model..you get what you pay for!

the worst item i ever bought on amazon
i wish i would have got my money back for this dvd player
the movies always skip, there a lot of distortion
colby should slap themselves in the face for releasing this product.
Broke after 6 weeks April 27, 2008
David Spielfogel (Chicago, IL United States)
Beginning on day 1, the player made a loud noise whenever in use. After 6 weeks (and no more than a dozen dvd viewings), it stopped working all together... whenever I put in a DVD it powers off. Not worth the cost of sending it back; a total waste of money.
Breaks down again and again March 30, 2008

I got this player for its up-conversion feature and HDMI outputs. It worked fine for a while, but broke down after 2 months. I contacted customer service and they suggested I send it back (with a $13 S&H charge) and they will replace it.
I did just that, but got a player without the HDMI output nor the up-conversion feature. After writing to them again and some phone calls, they agreed to send a unit like my original one. At that time, I had two units (one without HDMI, one with HDMI) and was happy.
A couple of months later the non-HDMI unit broke down. Like the first unit, it just stopped recognizing disks. Thinking that I still had the third unit, I did not contact customer service but instead opened that third unit and started using it.
Guess what? After 4 months, it broke down. I'm using it for 2-3 hours a week, inside a home, in a fixed location - nothing extraordinary.
So, within a year, I have THREE units that are all bad, and am out what I paid for the unit plus $13. I contacted customer service but they said that since 4 months have passed, the unit is no longer covered, and that I'd just have to fix it someplace else. My complaints that they have sold me a lemon did not help.
My next unit will be a Phillips, not a Coby.
A piece of junk after a few months March 1, 2008

I had the similar experience with this product. Within five months it broke to the point where it will not even recognize any DVDs/CDs that are put into the player. Actually I used only about 10 times. When I called Coby, they told me that the warranty for replacement is 90 days and the unit cannot be repaired. In other words, it can only be replaced but your warranty is expired. The only thing I can do is to throw away this piece of junk.
So, don't buy this product (probably other Coby products too). They may be cheap but you may just waste your money.
