Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Coby DVD-514 Super Slim 5.1 Channel Progressive Scan DVD PlayerCustomer Review: A champ in its price range Summary: 5 Stars
Possibly useful advice: use the remote control as much as you can, avoid touching the buttons if you can. This is a VERY cheap machine, built cheaply of cheap parts. Do not expect it to be solidly built. However, if you minimize physical contact it could serve you well for a long, long time.
Evaluation:
+ It's inexpensive
+ Seems to be playing all DVD's without failure
+ Nice remote control, batteries included
- I can't think of any, given the low price
It's not happening often to me but, this little box performance did exceed my expectations.
We have a 9-10 yr. old 27" TV in the bedroom and we have no intention of replacing it because it does what it's expected to do - help me fall asleep while watching C-Span or maybe a Columbo episode or something of that kind. Up until now, we had problems with various DVD players, some more sophisticated than others, but all demanding that we clean our DVD's and, in many instances, refusing to play some even after repeated cleaning.
I am happy to state that this little [...] player is playing ALL the DVD's I've thrown at it so far, including those that its predecessor, a relatively expensive machine that I threw into the trash after less than 2 years of service, refused to recognize. I've been using its even cheaper [...] cousin for 4-5 months now and it hasn't failed me once yet.
As far as features... well... it plays DVD's. It has stop, fast forward/backward, pause... does it really matter? The remote control is not very well designed but, again, it works well.
Since I'm getting this for the price of a book, it's getting 5 star because it meets and it exceeds my VERY LOW expectations. In the [...] price range, this machine is a champ.
