Despite such great care, these horrible products simply stop working. The first lasted 93 days (just long enough to nullify the warranty) this one lasted almost 6 months. This was our second COBY Portable DVD player and they both barely lasted 6 months. The first one simply stopped playing altogether; this one works very sporadically; it makes horrible noises and is just junk. The only time we used them were on long road trips - so used barely once per month. After every use I repackaged everything back in its original box - so absolutely very little wear and tear. Spare yourself the hassle, buy a more reputable brand. When you call COBY customer service, their wait times are long and you have to pay to ship them the product but worst of all neither the rank and file staff nor the management seem to care that their products are garbage.
This is generally good DVD player, but for that money you can find many other players with a lot of other features. Mine wireless headphones were totally unusable since it was picking up some hum noise in a gym where I was using it, so I recomend older version of this player without it.I myself picked up other COBY player TF-DVD7377, and I am happy with it.
Who knows. Very bassy - until they quit working altogether after 30 days. The wireless headphones have really lousy sound. After paying for shipping, it probably isn't worth it. Oh well, I bought new headphones.The whole thing quit working after 92 days - 2 days after the warrenty lapsed. How much will they charge to fix it. I wouldn't buy a Coby again. I took a shot after having a Coby product before thinking that maybe it was a fluke, but I won't try another one.
Spinning wheel sound control is easy to adjust. DVD load mechanism. Here are the Pro's and cons that I found.Cons: 1. This keeps it from being kicked or jostled if you have a toddler in a car seat. The picture is clear and easy to see. Overall design is especially well suited for vehicle mounting and allows the player to sit flat against the back of the headrest.
Very poor design that is a royal pain to change DVDs if the car is moving. The mechanism requires that you remove it from the holder, open it up, put in the DVD, close it then re-insert it into the holder. 2. Manual AV/DVD switch. I recently received my Coby player and found some things that were not very well thought out in the overall design. 1. Good picture quality.
2. Sound control easy to use. The manufacturer should have gone with an electronic switch vice a manual switch as it is not easy to ensure you have the DVD mode since it is in the center of the selection slide and there is no audible or 'feelable' indication that you have it in the correct position. This is a significant flaw as it does not allow you to easily load a DVD when vehicle mounted. 3.
On the left side of the unit is the sliding switch which turns on the player to one of two modes, DVD or AV. This becomes more inconvenient when you are sliding the player in or out of the holder.Pros. Compact slim design. The fold out one I had was prone to being kicked by my 3 year old.Overall the player is a good buy for the money but I couldn't rate it higher as the two design flaws are significant in detracting from its ease of use.
Product arrived quickly and in good condition. It was so loud when playing a disc, you could hear it making a loud buzzing sound while the disc was spinning. The mounting bag was great and I really like the appearance of the whole thing. The problems was with the DVD player. The headphones also had terrible interference and we couldn't use them in the car using the FM tuner which was why I purchased this item. I sent it back right away and Amazon quickly refunded my money.
