Brick
(1 out of 5) by R. L. Barfell on Sep 28, 2007 (Michigan)When it arrived it looked cheap. I would like to say it worked well but I had a problem. No matter what I did, the tray would not open. Don't buy this unit.

HORRIBLE PRODUCT
(1 out of 5) by W. May on Sep 17, 2008 (New Orleans, LA)I bought this DVD player expecting a very basic (yet functional) DVD player to work for the next 10 months until I move. What I got was the worst piece of electronics I've ever purchased. The colors when hooked up with component connections were way off, everything looked very blue. I then hooked it up via S-video and the colors inproved, but the picture was much worse. I realize that this is a cheap DVD player, and I didn't expect that it would last forever, but I did think that it would work out of the box. I will never buy a Coby product again. I will be returning this to Amazon.

Piece of CRAP
(1 out of 5) by Carmen Richards on Sep 5, 2009Not hardly worth the price, audio plays for previews but NOT for MOVIE, with the exception of, French, Spanish or CC. Sleek to look at but nothing else. My only regret is that I did not use this purchase until after my return date refund policy, this DVD SUCKS BIG time, please DO NOT WASTE your money on this piece of CRAP
Waste of money

A player that costs $6.00 for every DVD played is not cheap. I paid $30.00 to buy it new and after playing 5 DVDs really well in progressive scan mode through the Component Video video hook up it stopped being able to read region codes & rates everything "Invalid Disc". Coby support rep. recommended resetting to the factory default & when that did not work said I would have to send it to them & include $12 to cover the return shipping. At $8.00 to ship it to them that raises the cost per movie to $10.00, assuming you already own the DVDs.
Pay more money up front & you're more likely to get a DVD player that really IS inexpensive. If it say Coby on the box, it's a sucker move IMO.
