Expect nothing but playing clean, scratch-free DVD's when it does work. It started freezing mid-way through dvd's. I'm returning it. 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. And I must say, I'd have been better off spending twice the money, just to avoid any inconveniences. It arrived immediately, however looks nothing like the picture (it's black, not silver, with a different remote). In worst case, if it only lasts one year, it wouldn't be that bad. And, after only 1 day, I had problems.
I guess in this case, low cost=cheap. The one that gets used regularly lasted 6 mos. I have two of these. The one that only gets used on rare occasions has been around for a year and a half.
But such things can be put up with for $28.However, I think I'll step up to a mid-range model now. The remote layout is confusing, and switching menus can be excrutiatingly slow. I didn't mind the unit while it worked, though I had some quibbles.
It worked great for most of that time. Reinserting would sovle the problem. I bought this about two years ago from amazon.
That problem became more and more frequent, and now it will read no disks. It'll probably last longer and it'll be one less cheap electronic device full of heavy metals I have to recycle. In the last few months, however, it's been slowly dying.
Every disk was skipping after a while.
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.
The Remote control is small and very easy to use. 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. 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.
