Coby DVD-514

Pros: Progressive scan, optical and coaxial outputs, easy to use setup guide

Cons: connections are too close together and a bit confusing

Review: I purchased this item because of it's features and price. I was amazed at the picture and sound quality. It played computer generated DVDs flawlessly. ...

Pros: Compact region free play ability. Runs cool. Remote control, cable, and guide provided. Low price.

Cons: Two BRIGHT front lights. The unit itself has a (low) buzz/grind noise when playing.

Review: I purchased the Coby 514 (TheNerds.net) and am satisfied with the performance. I plugged the provided audio/video cable into my Sharp 32" TV and installed the remote control batteries (provided)and was ready to go. The provided guide book goes over all ...

Pros: Size, price, Format supported, remote

Cons: audio and video quality just not there

The Bottom Line: If and only IF you must have a DVD player get this coby. Otherwise, save up your money and get a better one.

Review: I bought this on an impulse, sort of. I had been looking for a DVD player for some time now. In my old system I used a 1991 sony CD player for audio and a PS2 for my DVD's. both of these had flaws. The sony would skip if you played music loud enough ...

Pros: Price

Cons: Poor quality

The Bottom Line: I won't recommend this product to anyone.

Review: I bought this Coby DVD player a few years ago. Actually,it was my first DVD player. For the longest time, I couldn't understand why everyone loved DVD's so much. Their picture quality was horrible, the sound wasn't great, and even brand new DVD's would ...

Pros: None. It is only cheap so they can sell off a bad product.

Cons: Not durable. Not long-lasting. Not worth it.

Review: OK, so of course this thing is inexpensive, which I believe the technology of Digital Media Players should be by now, but the thing lasted exactly as long as it's 90 day warranty. After viewing maybe 12 times in that period, now every disc I insert only ...

Pros: Cheap piece of junk--which worked long enough for the 90 warranty to expire--

Cons: Dies fast. After the warranty, but costs too much to even consider fixing.

Review: Bought it cause it was cheap, dumping it in the garbage because it is cheap and became possessed within months by a devil--that plays different tracks on DVDs with extra tracks. So when you are trying to watch a movie, you get director's commentary ...

Pros: Looks, features, slim and compact design.

Cons: Dead out of the box.

Review: I bought this DVD player because it had good features and played DVD+/-R/RW discs. The price was also right ($39.99) and it looked nice and stylish on the picture. Well, after I connected everything and put batteries into remote, I was up for nice ...
