This sticker has debugging instructions, and instructions on how to return the player. The dvd player looks good in the picture, but what you see in the picture is not what you get. A horrible giant red and white sticker, which cannot be removed, covers almost the entire top surface of the dvd player. Unfortunately, it can't be removed, and it looks horrible.
This happens only when I try to watch a dvd so I know it's the player. When I switch my TV to video, there is a loud buzzing noise that only diminishes if I lower the volume of the TV. Will buy a name brand next time. I bought this in Dec 2007 & have used it only 4-5 times. I wanted something very small for the living room. So if you don't mind no sound, you're good, otherwise, this item is useless.
The player only has three buttons). I called to inform them. TWELVE WEEKS LATER it arrives. (I had to call them THREE times. I failed to notice the fine print. They said they'd send a replacement.
THREE MONTHS to ship a remote. It was the WRONG remote. (Most functions are in the remote. I finally telephoned COBY.
But the little CD player was purchased for $30 and played perfectly for over four years. They never have. They finally took my order for a new remote. Then you lose your ability to fast forward, rewind and skip.
Two different $10 Wal-Mart "Universal remotes" (in 2008/2009) did NOT offer COBY codes. I sent them $6. I was often put on hold for a long time - always given excuses about the slow shipping). So, for poor design (putting "ALL" the functions into the remote) and for terrible customer service and shipping service, I give them ONE star.
The little player works fine, until the remote breaks. So I wasted $20 that way. Finally, it eventually arrived.
This product works fine. I use it at work in a display floor setting and the only problem I have with them is that after continuous use for an extended period of time (as I can't turn them off when I leave due to visitors) they die in a couple months.
And, at $40 dollars, it doesn't pay to get it fixed. It was great in the beginning and so easy to use, but the quality must be bad, since other reviewers also mentioned that their unit broke quickly too. For $40, you can find better value on Amazon or at the major retail stores. This DVD worked/played nicely for 1-2 months, but broke down fast. Buyer beware. Also, the remote control is very cheaply made.
