Constant chirping noise drove me crazy.......2007-12-24
I have to agree with Georgie Girl - you can hear the DVD spinning
while you are watching a movie. It makes a constant chirping noise.
You might be able to stand it if you keep the volume on medium,
and the movie has a lot of music. I'd recommend the Initial
IDM-1295 instead. I got it for $170.00 from B&H Photo, and both
the sound and picture are great!
Stay Away From This One.....................2007-08-17
I ordered this Portable DVD after doing some research. I wanted it for work and also for roadtrips with my family.
The sound was good, it didn't skip when moved around. That was aboutall the positives I give this. The screen is not clear, a bit on the fuzzy side, the headphones that come with this are a joke, you can hear all sorts of background noise. The stop function promised to keep you place in the movie, but it never did. HOWEVER, the biggest problem was that you can hear the DVD spinning in the case while you are watching a movie.
I really can't recommend this because it is an inferior product. Lot's of promises from the manufacturer but in all a disappointing product.

VERY SATISFIED.......2007-12-02
VERY SATISFIED WITH THE CD PLAYER. IT HAS MANY MORE FEATURES THAN I NEED ,HOWEVER IF I DO NEED THEM THEY ARE THERE. SHIPPING WAS AS STATED. NICE TO ORDER SOMETHING AND GET WHAT YOU ORDERED WITHOUT PROBLEMS.
PERFECT TRAVEL PLAYER!.......2007-05-05
Shopped around ALOT before I bought this at Best Buy (179.99) and included a free extra battery with AC charger. This unit has it ALL:
AC charger, DC charger for car lighter outlet, slim remote, BIG screen with swivel, dual headphone jacks, VERY LIGHTWEIGHT(about 2 lbs) compared to many that are 6-7 lbs. Perfect for flying or for those long airport lay-overs. Better performance than I expected for twince the price!
Better than I thought.......2007-01-03
Got this bad boy for Christmas. (A gift from me to me) I totally love it! This is my first portable DVD player, so I don't have much to compare it to.
Pros: The big screen is great, clear, bright and adjustable. The video input is a great feature. I love the magnetic hold downs and the swivel and lay flat screen! The USB and CARD readers are a nice touch, although not something I will use much. 2-3 hour battery life is great, and since it includes the cigarette lighter plug, you can use it on a plane or car for as long as you like.
Cons: The buttons feel a little cheap and plasticy, and as the disc slows down as the laser reaches the outer parts of the disc (towards the end of the movie), the player emits a high pitch whine that can be annoying. 4.5 hour battery charge time seems really long.
Conclusion: I paid $180 for it, and feel its worth every penny, as I could not find anything else above 7 inches for less than $200. It is a lot of gadget for the money.

Unreliable junk........2007-07-11
This flimsy, defective DVD player is certain to help Coby maintain its reputation as a producer of low quality electronics.
I fired up the first one I bought I found it had a defective pixel smack dab in the middle of the screen. I returned it and got another one - which had a defective pixel in the upper left of the screen. I returned that one for the one I seem to be stuck with (we've taken it to Europe) and now enjoy all pixels working properly - but only when the screen itself works. Every so often the screen simply stops doing its duty as a screen and goes dark.
It's incredibly noisy and effectively recreates the sound of the brakes on an old 18-wheeler.
It is, as they say in France, garb-ah-ge.
Do not buy this Defective product with bad warranty.......2007-06-01
We have had nothing but trouble with this dvd player. The controls don't work right, the sound comes and goes, the screen freezes. And the warranty is bad....we have to send them $18 to replace this defective product and they will take 10 weeks to replace it!!! We bought it to use for the summer....which will be largely gone after 10 weeks of waiting for the replacement. I will never purchase a Coby product again and sure wish I hadn't purchased this one.
UPDATE: Well, I paid my $18 and got a replacement unit. We used it less than 10 times. In fact, we didn't even move it...just left it in place in our summer home, so it wasn't even subject to the challenges a portable unit should encounter. Then, this week we brought it home to use and guess what....it is completely dead! With the original cost of $152 plus the $18, we have now paid roughly $20 per viewing for the privilege of using this lemon. Needless to say, the warranty is now gone. Based on other Coby reviews I've seen, I don't know why anyone would buy any Coby product. BUYER BEWARE!!!!
Good value, but the playing time advertised is exaggerated.......2007-01-31
The main reason I bought this unit was its price, as well as the promise of having over 2 hours of playing before recharging the battery.
I was disappointed to learn that, after a full charge, I was only able to play the DVD for an hour and fifteen minutes before the low-battery light began to blink.
I may buy an additional battery to have as a spare, but it is not simple or quick to replace the battery. I did not find the unit flimsy and have not had the electrical problems that other reviewers have described.
Overall, it's a good, economical unit with some minor drawbacks.
Child hazardous product. Electric circuit burning on plane. .......2006-11-03
Keep away from this product. Burning smell on plane only after few weeks occasional use. Child hazardous. It might be comforting for Kolby to see the exploding DELL laptop with Sony battery. After all, one can still turned off the unit and took off the battery when smells burning circuit from inside unit. However, other passengers on flight may be scared as hell. Again, never trust single positive comment on PriceGrabber! May just be a phony company man.
Flimsey Portable DVD player.......2006-08-17
I did not like this DVD player because the DVD player felt too flimsey (easily broken if you are not extremely careful). When the DVD loads, a buzzing nose is annoyingly too high over the movie volume. The Coby 7" is more sturdier than the Coby 10" portable DVD player.

This player ROCKS.......2007-06-12
Wow, I never knew I got such a good player! I was just 12 when I got this player and had like 200 bucks, looking for a nice 10 inch.I saw this and got it.I didnt know it is one of the best on the market! And its price got higher! Mybe i got mine on sale for $200.Ok so now to the review part.
First of all, this playa is cool.When you close it , it uses magnets to keep both sides of the player together.You can swivil the creen for best vewiwing positions.You can even make it flat so its like a note pad.You just swivil it untill the screen it back wards and close it, and the magnets keep it together! The quality is AWSOME! And of course, this baby is a 10 inch, the size of a very small HOME TV!!! Its got a layout of buttons that are silver for good looks and the material the player is made of is like some smooth plastic, very comfortable.But if you have sweaty or wet hands the plastic "Smears" for some reason its wierd, but you can always rub it off.
In all its a fantastic player and i reccomend it!
Great player.......2007-02-19
I was hesitant on buying a brand that hasn't been out very long. I took a chance and don't regret it at all! Great DVD player. It plays burnt DVDs and regular DVDs from the stores. If the movie doesn't load right away due to the new encryption codes (so people can't copy the movies), try clicking the top menu or menu button while loading. Also make sure the DVD is clean. It only plays clean DVDs. There is no skipping. The sound and picture quality are good. If you are looking for a bigger screen and not wanting to pay alot more money, this is the DVD player for you.
Nice unit, nice price.......2006-11-24
I bought this unit to entertain my child on a trip. She went through a couple dozens movies in a week and it worked flawlessly. I played recorded video's and store bought movies, even a couple cd's. The picture is very nice even compared to much higher priced portables. The only thing I found that I don't like is it is very loud when it spins up a disk, but that goes away.
Works for me!.......2006-11-12
This is a nice little portable DVD player available at Best Buy. It has good screen resolution within its limitations. The audio sound was crisp. The accessories are useful. I recommend it highly!
Much better than I expected.......2006-06-24
I received the Insignia IS-PDVD10 to replace my 8.4" Kawasaki unit, which lasted me about 5 months. I wasn't expecting a whole lot from the Insignia brand, but I have been pleasantly surprised by it thus far.
I found the build quality to be much better than I had expected and far better than my prior Kawasaki player. The satin black finish gives the player a more refined look. And while it may not be a feature worthy of the specs sheet, I was very happy with the player's use of magnets to hold the player shut, it makes the unit much more solid and adds to its build quality and class.
Pros:
From a functionality stand point there are many good things to report about this player. One is that the wide 10.2" screen is among the largest you can get in a portable DVD player. Also the way the battery has been integrated into the form of the player allows you to leave the battery attached to the player at all times without it being in the way. The battery charging system for the battery is also integrated into the player so any time you have the AC adapter connected to the unit, it will automatically recharge. The included remote is very well featured despite a lack of volume control. The player is also able to play back a very wide range of media formats, including MP3 / WMA / VCD / SVCD / MPG and of course DVD. The unit is easy to use and the controls are intuitive with most all necessary controls readily available on the unit. But to me the most important feature is the swivel screen, which allows for better viewing when in a tight area such as the tray table in an airplane.
Cons:
There are a few nagging details that do detract from the unit. One is that the built in speakers and amplifier are of fairly poor quality. The volume is controlled by a rotary dial on the side of the unit; this is why it isn't possible to adjust the volume from the remote. Some people will be upset that it does not include headphones, though if Insignia had included headphones they would have no doubt been of inferior quality and I wouldn't bother using them. The image quality is a little less than I would prefer, however this player is not intended to be used as an everyday player and a concession should be made for that fact. Upon initial spin up of a disc the player sounds like a line trimmer, though this sound goes away once it begins playback and is never heard again. The buttons on the unit itself can be fairly unresponsive and I sometimes have to press them twice before it will respond. All of these are very minor concerns and don't weigh heavily in my opinion of the player.
There are a few other concerns that I believe are more pressing. One is that when the screen is swiveled around, the only button controls that are usable are Play, Pause, Stop, Next, and Prev. I would very much like to see the direction pad and enter buttons available when the screen is turned around. Another concern is the lack of a battery level indicator. Though the largest problem I have found is that I routinely experience a screen flutter that normally will occur after I change the screens aspect ratio or makes some other change that involves how the player outputs to its screen. The flutter usually only lasts a few seconds, though it could worsen with time.
Overall:
Overall, I am quite pleased with this player. Its build quality is much higher than what I expected and the swivel screen makes it very user friendly in areas where such a large screen would typically be a liability. Aside from a few nagging details it is a fine player that I would recommend to anyone looking at getting a player of this screen size.
In addition:
I wanted to add in responce to the first review, that I have never experienced any compatibility concerns with recordable media. The player has seemlessly played back all DVD-R, DVD+R, and Dual Layer DVD+Rs that I have attempted to play in it.
