Damn good dvd player!!.......2007-12-23
I have been using my player now for a month. It is a really good player, picture is great is easy to use. I would buy it again and again.. The only small con: is the speakers are not real loud. Enjoy! Larry MS.
bad item do not buy.......2007-12-19
I purchased this item last year for my grandson. It worked good for a few weeks and then stopped working. I returned it and received a replacement. The same thing happened. Now I am not able to return it. Beware.
Poor Quality from a Poor Company.......2007-12-18
Buyer BEWARE of this product and Coby. I did my diligent research on Amazon and other websites for a decent quality portable DVD player and ended up purchasing 2 for our SUV. The Coby DVD7050 product fit the bill from a cost, functionality and accessory perspective. I was warry of the quality however and read some of the Amazon reviews prior to purchase. In the end I took the leap that a decent percentage of these would be okay. Initially the product functioned as advertised. After 3 weeks of intermittent use, these little gems started reporting "Wrong Disc" errors on the screen. The DVDs I had been using were fine, some brand new. What's more I treated these units like babies; they weren't scratched, dropped or otherwise physically abused. I called Coby service to ask for trouble shooting and assistance. I got this rather cocky gentlemen by the name of Darrel (ID#3005) to "help". He told me to buy a laser lense cleaning kit at my local electronics store and pull the battery for an hour to drain the capacitors on the circuit boards. If this didn't work, I could return the products to Coby's repair shop paying for shipping there and an $18 money order for their processing and return shipment. MONEY ORDER! Are you kidding me? This has pure profit for Coby written all over it. I happen to be a Mechanical Engineer at a large hightec American company working in quality on electronic products. Needless to say, I understand how both the hardware works and shoddy customer service at a half baked company.
Not being very optimistic of this solution, I tried draining the caps. Same error occurred. Then I inspected the disc read assembly for debris with special attention to the top of the laser lense. It appeared clean. I would have tried the laser lense cleaning kit had I not been under Amazon's return policy window. Thank God for Amazon! I called Amazon, returned the units and got my money back. I'm sorry to those who didn't. I read a few more of the 1 star reviews and found that several of the folks never got a functioning unit back from Coby's chop shop. I won't ever, EVER, be purchasing a Coby product again. Congratulation Darrel and the Coby R&D department! By the way Darrel DOA means Dead On Arrival. No, It's not a Colorado thing, it's a quality thing.
After more extensive research it does appear that even the big name portable DVD player manufacturers have some quality issues. I guess these portable DVD players are inexpensive for a reason. Even though I am fundamentality opposed to the concept, I will entertain an extended service plan in the future.
Terrible!.......2007-12-05
We used this DVD player 3-4 times, and it no longer works. But, since it was past the 90 day warranty, Colby won't do anything for us. It was very frustrating to only have it last this long.
NO!!! DO NOT BUY! BROKE IN ONE WEEK!.......2007-11-23
DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL FOR ANY REASON. I will never by Coby anything again based on this experience.
I bought it. At home it looked snazzy, in black and "intensive, sporty use" rubber coating. The salesperson at J&R had assured me that this model was "a bit more tougher" and was more appropriate for use by children.
However, the one I bought never survived to the point that it would be tested by my child. In less than a week, it simply burst at the seams, and I could see the internal components, the guts. There is no "welding," just badly designed parts, i.e., snaps that don't stay snapped together. The thing just spontaneously burst open!
This item sure looks like an example of good design. A tablet, how clever. The picture quality was pretty good. However, it could not withstand extremely gentle, in home handling because of utterly defective manufacture and/or hopelessly cheap, inferior materials. Design or manufacturing defect, either way, what a piece of junk.
I am bitter that I had thrown away the receipt and box too soon.
I went back to J&R and bought the heavy, all metal Toshiba SD 1700 which cost $50 or so more than this junk Coby model. Dorky looking, but my, how sturdy! It just works the way it's supposed to, you don't have to worry.
Coby is BAD, EVIL, UNTESTED. Never again.

Coby TF-DVD7377 Player Divx USB/SD.......2007-11-09
PROs: Nice array of supported storage media. Low price.
CONs: No Shuffle-Play. No ID3 display. JPEG files best under 1 mb.
Lot of player for the money. The absence of shuffle-play and ID3 tag display can be forgiven on such an inexpensive unit ($110 at Amazon.com). JPEG files smaller than 1mb display immediately and work well with the slideshow feature.
1. USB function. I mixed Music, Video and JPEG files on a single USB drive and they loaded right away. From the opening screen you can choose whether to play MP3, Video or JPEG files. The USB/SD media must be formatted with the FAT file system to work. The USB drive inserts
"upside-down." So, if you have nice lights and dials on the top of your thumbdrive you won't see them while its inserted in this player. The SD card goes in the proper way, and functions just like the USB drive. The player will read DivX, MPEG2, VCD and SVCD video files. I put a short movie in all the different formats on the same drive. The unit played them all, one after another.
2. The player had no trouble loading video from DVD-/+RW media (I have both) encoded by my cheap LiteOn player. I was pleased, as I will save money not having to buy anymore DVD-R disks to record news and sports programs to view at work.
3. For JPEG photos. Click on picture and start slideshow with that photo being first in show. Once inside the slideshow you can set the time each photo is displayed. You can also zoom the photo and rotate it. Once the slideshow begins it plays through all subsequent folders then starts again from the beginning.
4. Video Files: DivX/MPEG2 files. Press play and the highlighted file plays. Once file is playing you can set repeat function for the file. If there are several video clips in the folder it will play through all the video clips without further prompting.
5. MP3 files. Also plays WMA files. MP3/WMAs play immediately when the storage media is read by the player. The first song in the first folder starts the set. The player continues into all subsequent folders without further prompting. Once a song is playing you can set the repeat function for the file, the folder or all song files. Each time the player is turned on it starts with the first song in the first folder. You can, however, stop the play, put the player in your bag and start play back where you left off a few hours later. This "pause" feature works as long as the battery don't run out of power or the storage media not removed from the player.
6. Music CDs/Data CDs. The player plays CD Music Disks just like a car stereo; nothing fancy. You get song number, time of song and total time of CD. It will play MP3 files on a Data CD the same way that it plays MP3 files from USB and SD removable medium (you'll get the same screen displays). When playing music CDs the screen goes blank after one minute, saving the battery. Hit display to see information on a song. After another minute the screen goes blank again. With MP3s and other media you have to physically close the screen down for it to go off (the music continues to play). This feature should add significantly to portable usage. In a future version, I hope the Coby engineers will add a way to read MP3 files from DVD, as well.
7. Overall product Quality. A good build for an inexpensive player. The screen won't win any awards, but it is clear and crisp. There are no controls to brighten or darken the screen, but, I could read the folder and file names from up to six feet away. Having a 7" screen, most likely the user will be only about 3 to 4 feet away from the unit (closer if its on your lap). (Interesting note: after playing a 2hr DVD I touched the bottom of the unit and it was only lukewarm. It was sitting on the plastic CD/DVD storage box on my desk. So, I am not sure this unit gets too hot to sit on your lap.) The instruction manual was adequate, as there are not a lot of bells and whistles on this player.
8. Sound quality, like beauty, is in the eye/ear of the beholder. The music was passable for a small, inexpensive device. It sounded much better with the included earphones. Also, when transmitted (FM) over my truck stereo it sounded great.
9. Battery Life. After a fresh charge I got through 3hours and 17minutes of Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers. There was no noticeable degradation of the picture or sound. It just went Poof! But, then, here comes the real surprise. I plugged the player to the AC mains. After hitting the power button on the remote the player started back at the place it stopped when it powered down. So, I was able to continue watching the remaining 25minutes or so of the movie without searching through the disk for the part I hadn't seen yet. I would imagine that if you take out the battery or remove the disk you would lose that stored memory. But that's a nice feature.
10. I'm used to heavier, more balanced remotes. But, this remote is smaller than the width of a single CD case (but not too small). So, you can put it anywhere you'd put your CD cases. That makes it handy to carry along when traveling. The IR is limited, so get close to the player and you'll have no problems.
Overall. This is a nice little unit for the price. I would like to have seen more features (especially a music-shuffle feature and ID3 display). But, a swivel-screen unit that plays DVDs and offers two other (expandable memory) readers/players (USB/SD) gives great functionality for the price. Add the ability to use +/-RW media as well and you have yourself a bargain. If this unit gets me through a whole year of midnight shifts before it breaks down, then I would consider it money well spent. I recommend it!
Great DIVX/AVI Player.......2007-10-17
I bought this as a gift and since there are no reviews for it, I thought that my review would help those that are thinking of buying this player.
First things first...
1)I PRIMARILY bought this so that I could have a portable DIVX or AVI player. I looked at all the other players and they either cost an arm or a leg or they were too big.
Let me say that it plays AVI/DIVX files without a hitch. I've watched numerous AVI files without a problem, and because this device handles DVD's and AVI files without a hitch, I give it a 5 stars!
2)The screen on this little 7 inch screen is awesome. Very clear and sharp. I bought another COBY tablet player a year ago, but it broke after about a year or use and the picture quality was not that great. This thing is WAYYYY better than that one was.
3)Battery life is pretty good. So far I've had it play non stop for over 2 hours without a problem.
4)Audio is great and also when you hook this thing up to a t.v. with the supplied cables the sound transfer well to the t.v.
Now the Negative....
1)The remote on this thing sucks big time! You have to be super close to the player and you pretty much have to have it pointed straight at it to work right. This is the same remote that they package with their other Coby players, a real piece of junk.
2)This thing is made almost entirely of plastic! The picture looks great and I thought I was buying a metal encased DVD player (the picture looks like a black matte metal case), but be warned, this thing feels cheap! The screen swivels around so that it can fold into a tablet style player and for that it's cool, very compact, but the screen also shakes a bit back and forth (because it swivels) and the latch to keep the screen closed is really a piece of junk. If I was grading on this feature alone I would have to give it a 2. I fear that it'll fall apart if I handle it too roughly.
I just can't get over how cheap this thing feels.
In case your wondering why I scored it so high, even though I trash the build quality. Well, it's because it does what I bought it for so well. If you want a DIVX/AVI player that handles these files without a hitch and you don't want to spend a bundle, then get this player.....just be warned of it's build quality. The build quality seems very crappy but I've only owned it for a couple of days. I will try to remember to update my review in a few months to let you know if this thing is holding up. (If I can figure out how to update my review).
If your wondering if would reccomend this item to you, I would have to say yes, but only for the reasons that I listed above...a great little Divx player! Hope this helps any potential buyers.

DVD Player stopped working...........2007-11-14
I would NOT recommend purchasing this. The DVD player worked very well for the first few times I used it but probably the 6th time I used it, it cut off to static during the middle of the movie and now will not read any DVDs. It turns on for about 5 seconds and loads as if nothing is wrong then just craps out. With so many options on the market it would be smart to pick another DVD player!!!
Not Happy.......2007-10-16
Overall the its an OK player, but what turned it from a 5 star rating to a 2 is product detail by Amazon. I looked high and low for weeks for a 7" screen dvd player with hi-resolution which Amazon's descriptions claims this to be. Under the specification it says the screen is a 720x480 but when I got my player and measured it out, it was only 480x234 at best. Now I know some retailers would describe a 480x234 as 1440x234 to make it look better than it really is, but I purchased this from Amazon thinking they of all people would have the right specs. Lesson learned, can't trust anyone's specs.
Just what I needed.......2007-10-08
I needed an easy to use, easy to carry and easy to use via battery DVD player and that is what I got.
Flimsy, short life span.......2007-08-20
Bought in April, broken by August (stopped reading discs). Even by the standards of these cheap Chinese DVD players, this one was flimsy.
The build quality was suspect -- the auto adapter had a very long thin wire instead of thicker, more durable cord. It was impossible to use the car charger with battery backup, so that when you turned off the car, the movie restarted unless you were using battery (and when the battery was dead, you couldn't switch power sources without restarting the disc).
I had better luck with the Coby.
well worth it.......2007-08-10
this is my first portable dvd player. for months i did an online search looking for the best buy for my money. i read several reviews regarding
portable players, and noted complaints about small screens, bad audio, not the sharpest picture, etc, so i was not even sure i wanted to buy one of these type units....however i came across the axion, studied the wonderful reviews and decided to buy it....
WHAT AN AWESOME MACHINE THE AXION IS.....
i am quite comfortable watching the 7" screen, the picture is clear and sharp, the audio is more than adequate without earphones, keeping in mind that i do not use it on an airplane, have not used the remote yet, but the controls on the unit are very easy to use.
the battery last two hours, most times i use it plugged into a wall outlet anyway. right now i am on vacation with no regular dvd player available, last evening i was able to hook up this axion to the tv and watch the dvds on a larger screen, but keep in mind that to do this you also need an extra cable (the one with the prongs that hook up into the 3 different colors on the TV, dont know what it is called) this cable is not supplied by axion, so have one available to hook up to the tv, the other end (prongs) are hooked up to "the cable axion does supply".
i have had this unit for a month now, so at this time i cannot attest to longevity of the unit, i will post again at a later date, but i can tell you at this point in time the axion was well worth the money.

DVD review.......2007-01-11
Works well. Only 2 minor issues: First is the buttons on the front of the player are not clear re: stop, play, ect. which in the dark while traveling is frustrating as you push in trial & error. The remote is direct line of sight only. The second is the wireless headsets. They have a button on each that scans 4 frequencies for the sound connection. It is very easy to push this button & lose the connection while simply putting the headsets on or if a child adjusts theirs without realizing it until you question why you can't hear the movie. You have to keep pushing the button til the sound comes back clear. Also there was interferace one time by a powerful radio station in the major town we were in. On the other hand, the volume control is not as easy to change, that's a good thing with kids, and can be set & left at an appropriate level.
Great for the money.......2006-12-15
I bought this because I wanted a dvd player that could EASILY tap into my car's audio. With the built-in FM transmitter, movies sound great! The tablet style design makes this unit compact and stylish. I have no need for the wireless headphones, so I haven't even tried them yet. The controls are easy to learn and use. The viewing angle is better than I anticipated. No complaints.
Very Disappointed.......2006-12-14
After waiting for over 6 months for the release of the Coby TF-DVD7060 with wireless headphones(it was supposed to be released last summer, according to the Coby website), I was very excited when it finally became available.
Before purchasing this product, I had own the Coby TF-DVD7050 (very similar DVD, but without the wireless capability), for several months and had been very satisfied with it. So I thought the TF-DVD7060 with the wireless capability would be an improvement right?
Well, not so much...
The main problem is that the wireless capabilities are extremely limited. The Coby TF-DVD7060 has a radio transmitter, and the headphones have a radio receiver. The product manual says the reach of the transmition is up to 6 feet, but in reality the headphones don't work if the distance from the DVD player is more than 3 feet. I guess it is OK for someone that wants to use it in the car or while sitting on a desk, but that's it. I usually use my DVD while on the stairmaster, or doing chores around the house, and because of the limited reach, this product was useless to me.
So I returned the product, and with the difference in price (~$50) I bought a bluetooth wireless headphone kit (that comes with a transmitter), and stuck to my "old" TF-DVD7050, making it "wireless". Hopefully Coby will realize that the radio technology doesn't work, and move to Bluetooth soon. Only then I would be willing to give their new model another try.

Lasted only 5 months.......2007-11-14
My son received this DVD player as a gift. He loves to be able to watch "Nemo" in the car. The picture was great and it worked well for the first month. After that we would have to turn it on and off to get it working. Sometimes I had to push different buttons and play around with it to get it to come on at all. After 4 months it started sometimes working and sometimes playing sound only, no video. Finally, after 5 months of using it it quit completely and now won't come on at all. I do not consider 5 months long enough and I am very disappointed in this model. To be fair, I did leave it in the car during the hot Florida summer pretty much all the time. Also, my son did kick it now and then.
So-So Player.......2007-09-03
We go thru portable DVDs at the rate of 1 per year. I bought this one specifically for use in the car. While the screen is a nice size, it has a number of defects. The case is insecure - the player falls out of it on sharp turns. There is no battery, the player only runs with a power source. And, the player has been inconsistent in use - it sometimes has to be turned off and on a couple of times to run. I'm much happier with the flat screen Audiovox with a velcro fastener and have already purchased a second one of those. I'm planning to give this player away.
Portable? Not Really........2007-08-23
Don't get me wrong, this is a nice DVD player. The only ways to operate it though are by using the car adapter or the wall adapter. Don't ever plan to take this on long flights, because there is no battery in this player. So portable? Maybe, as long as you are near an electrical outlet or are traveling by car and can use the car adapter. Other than not having a battery, i would have given this 5 stars.
GREAT BUY!!!.......2007-03-22
This is a great little device that keeps the kids quiet for TWO WHOLE HOURS on the car ride to summer vacations! It's got a nice, crisp picture, and my wife uses it in the kitchen while she's cooking. It fits anywhere, and is great for the whole family!

Customer Reviews:
Decent portable DVD player.......2007-12-25
This is a decent dual screen DVD player. The picture quality is great on both screens and installation in a car is easy though the cable between the two screens is a little thick and hard to keep out of the way. I haven't experienced any skipping or problems in the few months Ive owned it. My only compaint is that to change the disc you need to remove the cables from the main screen, take the entire thing out of the case and open it up. Overall a decent item for the money.
Good price . . . .......2007-11-04
The price was good, but the jury is still out on the quality. It plays fine most of the time but occasionally the picture will flicker and do other things like its going to go out.
Don't waste your money.......2007-10-05
Don't waste your money on this product. It worked great for 4 months and has now stopped working. It will not play any movie even after cleaning the heads. Customer service was unable to help with the problem except to say I would need to take it to a service center. I guess the reason they only have a 90 warranty is that is about how long their product lasts.
Don't waste your money.......2007-06-07
This DVD player falls WAY below my expectations. The cord will not stay in place to recharge the battery. And, funny, this started happening a day after the 3 month warranty wore out! Customer service is unfreindly and uncooperative. The product is not worth the money to repair, so I threw $161.00 down the drain! I'll stick with other manufacturers with better customer service and a more reliable product.
Great.......2007-04-12
After shopping around, this model has all the features I was looking for at the best price. It works perfect and we have had no problems at all. The only downside is that you have to take the entire unit out of the headreset harness in order to change the DVD, which, on longer trips lasting over one movie, it is time for a rest stop anyway when you have a couple of young ones.
Overall, great value

Stopped Working On 3rd DVD.......2007-09-02
I received this DVD player last week and was so excited! We plugged it in and played a DVD and it was great! We played another one - great! Then, on the third DVD, it just stopped working. We checked the power source, tried different discs - nothing. It completely stopped working. Based I my experience, I can not recommend this product.
Sand Trap , not worth $100, not worth my time :(.......2007-07-12
So if someone does sue Coby, let me know first thing. It has a great LCD screen. But everything else is poorly made. It's a sand trap because you can't contact customer service to return the item. I've emailed way too many times and called twice. Zilch. I've sent BBB on them over the battery that caught fire with this item. And contrary to what I've heard, the battery is not supposed to be attached to the device while your are using it.
Then there's the non existent battery indicator. And inserting dvd's on it gives me a wrong disc notice now. And if your worried about a little radiation, the red laser showing from the vents won't excite you all that much. The screen flickers now because I found out twisting the screen on it's 180 axis pulls the wire out of the motherboard. Who put this thing together? Probably a bunch of broke engineers that were fired from other companies because they do such a poor job. Seriously avoid this product at all costs. I can't imagine how this got a 4 star. Just wait till yours goes bad.
Great for two months.......2007-02-10
I purchased this about 2.5 months ago. When I first got it all was great, I enjoyed taking it to the laundry room, kitchen, bedroom. But after about 2 months any DVD I put in would get stuck at some point. I thought it might be because some were library DVDs but they were fine on our Sony DVD player, same with the DVDs that we own. Now we can't seem to be able to play any DVDs on it without it stopping at some point.
thank you.......2007-01-17

Excellent product, good value for money. Waited for the model with TV/FM but unfortunately never came into stock. Keeps the kids mesmerized during long journeys.

Piece of junk........2004-06-25
I made the mistake of buying 2 of these poorly manufactured piles of crap. I have had them for only a few months and have not used them very often. Neither of them work. On one of them the swivel piece broke, now the screen just hangs there. The other will not play a DVD without it freezing. I play the same DVDs on better made products and have no problems. To make matters worse Amazon and J&R music (the company they sent me these things) refuse to provide any help. Sure, the thing has a "limited warranty", which I've already used once because one of the batteries would not work. Using the warranty requires the consumer to spend additional money for shipping, just to receive another piece of junk. Both companies should have the decency to take back poor quality products and provide a refund. I will never buy anything from Amazon or J&R music again and recommend you do the same.

Excellent playback, great picture and sound quality. Has Dolby Digital sound mixing. Two well-amplified headphone jacks and speakers. Plays more formats than advertized (DVD-R/RW, VCD, .MPG movies, .Jpg pictures). Comes with tons of accessories. Worth the price.
