 Decent For The Car...But... November 30, 2008
I bought this about 5 months ago to entertain my infant son on long car rides. It does a pretty good job...but not great. The unit has frozen on me a few times, thankfully we only use it on long family trips though, so I'm able to climb in the back seat to reset it.
The picture is bright and crisp, and the sound is great. It's a little cumbersome to change out the CD's because of the headrest holder, so I try to put long running disc's in (or I just replay them, my son's too young to know the difference).
If you're looking to use this for anything more then occasional entertainment, or have older children that will be watching movies, I would recommend maybe looking around for something else. While the screen size and picture clarity is wonderful, it does freeze up more often then I'd like...and that's with extremely gentle use. I really don't see this holding up too well for someone who uses it more frequently. Either way...good luck with it!
 Started out ok, then both units became complete junk! September 7, 2008
We bought this and initially loved it. Then a few months passed and we discovered what a piece of junk it was. Sure it comes with a lot of great stuff and it's well priced, but you get what you pay for with this player. We bought the replacement plan and I guess it's good we did because after a few months when the first one wouldn't play anymore, we sent it back and received another one. This one pooped out in a different way, but led to the same result--no longer usable. We had to pay for the shipping to send in the player and we had to re-buy the player from amazon and then be reimbursed. So I suppose we got our moneys worth (?), but now a year or so later and $100 plus the warranty later, we are back where we started--no portable DVD player. Buy at your own risk and don't trust a review from someone who has had it a couple of days. We'll definitely be buying something different this time around.
 Two Defective Units! August 29, 2008
I wonder if these players were good in 2005, but now they're just plain old and don't work anymore. This is 2008! I ordered one and it arrived defective -- no audio. The picture was fine, but no sound anywhere. I ordered a new one and this one had no picture! Unbelievable! Needless to say, I will not be ordering another replacement for this one, I'm finding a different model and brand. Too much work on my part for junky products.
 Great Picture, Great Sound, Great Accessories, Great Buy!!! August 27, 2008
I was hesitant after reading some of the not so favorable reviews on this product, but I went ahead and purchased it anyway. Boy, I am sure glad I did!!! It was a lifesaver on our 1,000 mi trip to MT this summer!!! Our 2 year old daughter was tickled pink that she could watch her favorite videos in the car. We didn't play it constantly, but gave it a pretty good workout. No problems whatsoever! Comes with all the accessories you'll need in a travelling DVD player.
Wrong Disc message and screen goes dark July 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have bought this player back in March for my 3 y.o.
I was satisfied with it at first. It fits nice in the car.
We only used the product few times.
The DVD will spin the disc for the a minute or two and then display "Wrong Disc" message. After a while the DVD screen flashes and then goes dark. I have called the COBY and ask then to repair it. The said it is out of 90 days warranty and I have to take it to the local repair shop. Which will cost me the same money as a player.
The customer service was rude. I told then that I am not going to buy anything else from them they did not care.
