Customer Review: Nice little multi-region player
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really pleased with this unit especially since I am not a tech-geek and the only thing I knew I wanted was something user friendly to play PAL and NTSC dvds with good picture quality and good sound that wouldn't break the bank. I read reviews on multiple websites until my eyes crossed and I realized that for just about every unit made, whatever the price range, the complaints are the same. So I took my chances with this one and I am absolutely delighted. The picture is crisp and true (no stretching the actors to fit the screen), the sound is clear, and yes, there is a whirring noise but it really isn't that bad. The build quality is fine (as long as you aren't slamming the thing shut repeatedly or throwing it to the floor) and the menu is easy to navigate. I had to call COBY (1-800-681-2629) to find out why it wouldn't play PAL dvds even though I'd switched the menu setting. It turns out you have to have the cheat code. Here it is-on the remote press
setup
fast forward
rewind
next screen
previous screen
at this point the screen will have a small number in the upper right part of the screen. Use the right arrow on the remote to switch the number until you get the region code you want. Then press setup to exit.
I tried it and it works so I'm a really happy camper. All in all, this is a great little player for the money. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this as a gift or recommend it to a friend.
