"WRONG DISC" = DEATH
Its 11:30 pm. I just watched about half of CASINO ROYAL. When I'll get to watch the rest... who knows. The player stuttered, then froze. I took the DVD out and cleaned it. Replaced it, and after trying to load for a bit it gave me a "wrong disc" message. Tried again. No good, hmmmm. Tried another disc and got the same thing. Welcome to reality. I've had it over a year and watched a good 100 or so movies on it, with only a few disc related problems. How can I complain after paying only $25 for it at the grovery store (first clue). I can't comment much on other formats although Its played a few home recored CDs okay. After reading the other reviews on here, I think I've fared better than most. Diagnosis: ITS TOAST Coby DVD-514 Super Slim 5.1 Channel Progressive Scan DVD Player The flexbility of formats made this seem like a great gift for my mother overseas. However it is cheaply constructed and stopped reading disks after 3 or 4 successful uses. A friend who's a digital video expert looked over the unit and told us it's not worth repairing. Due to the delay from purchase to use, the warranty was already void, so my mother opted to buy a different device locally instead. works but delicate The DVD player works fine and arrived on time. The only downside to this item is the color seems over saturated even after making adjustments on my television and the player. The second complaint is that the door where the dvd is inserted seems to get stuck a bit. Lastly, you definitely need to use the remote control to operate the player. It has buttons for on/off, play, etc. but, they don't actually work for me. Overall, I believe it is great for the money. COBY MINI COMPONET DVD-514 Small Compact Componet DVD Player....Performs great. Setup easy and fast. Plays all formats. Clear bright picture. The blue back ground display displays a pink kinda numerical-graphic display, back counter and graphic notation of the disc turning. I had no problems installing and placing 514 in with other componets. The only problem was linking the 514 to my tv monitor. Extra length jumpers here. All and all a great dvd player. For the budgeted a great purchass. The 514 is now being used in completing a display with video. Most nice. Runs almost six hours, five days a week. TELEMETRY DATA SYSTEMS La Jolla California 4 months and going I bought this player in January, I read all the reviews, and thought I'd go for it. There was allot of NEG reviews on this player. but for the price *and free shipping, It was worth the chance. Well It's been 4 months now, The player see's about 4 movies a week on it. No odd sounds, no broken up video, no misreading of the dvds as DVR's or anything else. The Unit is running great! With no hang up's at all. The only odd thing about this players I found was, The remote shown is not the remote you get. The one you get is very small, and it takes a bit to get use to. But other than that it works fine.. I'll update, as the months pass.. | |
