Expect nothing but playing clean, scratch-free DVD's when it does work. And I must say, I'd have been better off spending twice the money, just to avoid any inconveniences. It started freezing mid-way through dvd's. And, after only 1 day, I had problems. In worst case, if it only lasts one year, it wouldn't be that bad. After an expensive dvd player only lasted 4 years, and a mid-grade only lasted 2 years, I thought I'd buy this as temporary, until I found a nice one. It arrived immediately, however looks nothing like the picture (it's black, not silver, with a different remote). I'm returning it.
The one that only gets used on rare occasions has been around for a year and a half. I guess in this case, low cost=cheap. I have two of these. The one that gets used regularly lasted 6 mos.
That problem became more and more frequent, and now it will read no disks. Every disk was skipping after a while. The remote layout is confusing, and switching menus can be excrutiatingly slow. It worked great for most of that time. It'll probably last longer and it'll be one less cheap electronic device full of heavy metals I have to recycle. Reinserting would sovle the problem.
But such things can be put up with for $28.However, I think I'll step up to a mid-range model now. I bought this about two years ago from amazon. In the last few months, however, it's been slowly dying. I didn't mind the unit while it worked, though I had some quibbles.
I have had my Coby-224 DVD player for a couple of weeks,and it has been used by myself several times.The remote control works well and is easy to use.This DVD player plays major studio DVDs perfectly.Do not hesitate to buy this DVD player.The Coby-224 DVD player is so inexpensive,that you need not feel guilty for purchasing one.
Further if you go to Standby mode all R Stops or Pause is erased.Slow and Fast Forward/Reverse do work well (be sure to hold the buttons down)Audio and Video are excellent. For a very inexpensive DVD player this one is true to the quote "You get what you pay for", that said my grip is when you use either the Pause or R stop a DVD and after a period of time the player reverts to PLAY. The Remote control is small and very easy to use.
