 Please be aware of safety hazard! June 30, 2009
Chele S. (Knoxville, TN)
I had owned this very model already and liked it. It held up well, in my opinion, considering it was being used by a toddler. I decided to purchase another one as we would be traveling.
With two weeks of use and it working fine this unit starting popping and hissing and filling my car with smoke, right in front of my 3 year old son as he was strapped in his car seat (it was mounted on the front seat headrest with the included holder). It was in full flames within seconds of getting IT and MY SON out of the car. I've since researched battery hazards with some Coby products. We are fine but the vehicle headrest is singed in three parts and the player is of course ruined and covered in fire extinguisher residue. I am contacting the seller and manufacturer today and will update my review after that.
No Good December 26, 2008

Worked good for 4 months. Overnight the player just decided that it would not read discs. 90 day warranty.
NO GOOD!!
Worthless December 4, 2008
JMD (Willow River, MN United States)
I thought I'd try a new brand with competitive pricing... bad move.
This product has many flaws.
1) Rattles and vibrates loudly when in use.
2) DVD menu doesn't work on certain discs. This is intermittent.
3) Picture quality is poor.
I'm stickin' to Sony or Panasonic.
 Great DVD player November 16, 2008
S. Baig (Raleigh, NC)
I got this for my, then 4 year old son, who is now 6 and he still has it. We use it mainly for long distance trips and sometimes he'll use it at home to watch a movie by himself. The controls are easy to use, I taught him how to work it when he was 4 and he never had a problem with it. The sound is good and the swivel feature gives you options to attach it to the back of a seat so it can be off the lap. The picture quality is really good, adequate for a coby. I wouldn't buy a child a Sony or any other expensive brand but this Coby hasn't given me a reason to even want to.
 coby dvd September 21, 2008
Can Elmas (iSTANBUL Turkey)
I had this for a year. It is not perfect but does the job. But it broke on us after 10 months of use. You have to think what you get for the price. Cheap product that last short time. I will see the warranty conditions now??
Well this and other coby products have 90 days warranty. This tells it all. Company makes cheap products that wont last much. It is another waste for the planet.
I am determined now I will buy brandname from now on. DVD player from sony is 150 usd and that should last more than a year I hope.
Strange but after I wrote this review the unit started to work again. So maybe it does the job for the money...
I keep editing my review because coby still keeps going. I would reccomend it afterall
