Keep breaking down with wrong disc
I bought one a year ago. It broke 8 months later although I did not use it that much. I got the Wrong Disc error message. I tried many disc with various format, including many which played on it before so I know that it was not a format problem. I searched the web and then found that this is quite common with Coby. I had to send it back for warranty repair which took over 2 months.
Guess what, it just broke again just a few days over a year from my date of purchase. No more warranty.
No only I will never buy another Coby. Get a quality brand and you have much better peace of mind.
Good Deal!!!
I bought this piece in 2005 so I am in a better position to comment on it as far as durability is concerned.I had bought it for around $150, and its around half the price now.I have dragged it,dropped it,thrown the remote but it has no complaints.Its really a nice one both indoors and oudoors if you want something compact and efficient.
Simple and reliable
I bought this for my kids to use on long trips, and it works great. Nothing about it is exceptional, but it's all functional and hasn't broken down over dozens and dozens of movies played.
don't buy it
I bought the Coby TF-DVD-7100 player and it worked for about a half dozen movies before giving me a "wrong disc error" message. I wrote Coby customer service about this after reading on the web that many others have had the same problem, four months have gone by without a reply. They should be ashamed of the way they do business. Now let me tell you about my philosophy on purchasing something. When I buy an item I take care of it so I don't have to buy another, and I expect that item to give me reasonable service. If it doesn't, like more and more products we purchase these days, Then I never buy another product from that company again. I also take the time to let the company know there is a problem and give them a chance to rectify it, It's time consuming, but only fair.
Cony dvd player stopped working....
It won't play dvd's. I can still use the input feature, which is nice for hooking up a game console, and now, a seperate dvd player. I pretty much just use this as a screen now, which is annoying. I paid hard earned money for this. I wanted to be able to use it while traveling. ha not now. amazon shouldn't sell cheap stuff. I want my money back!!
