4 out of 5 stars plays pal or US, easy to change region.......2007-08-20

cheap universal dvd player. works well. picture not as good as players costing 5 to 10 times as much--duh!

1 out of 5 stars Garbage cheapo not worth the money.......2007-07-22

Sitting here trying to replace this piece of garbage, which was cheap--but started playing DVDs on odd tracks that we hadn't selected--I wonder why I paid as little as I paid. Don't waste your money on this. As cheap as it is, it isn't worth that.

1 out of 5 stars Stopped working after 4 months!.......2007-06-05

Do not get this DVD Player. It's been only 4 months and this player is now completely dead. I've used it a dozen times over the past few months. Also, it has the worst remote I've seen on any electronic device ever.
It's junk. Spend extra cash and get a real dvd player.

1 out of 5 stars Don't bother buying!.......2007-05-25

It freezes up in the middle of the movie, and the remote doesn't work even though I changed the batteries. It's very frustrating, and I have contacted Coby support even though I've found that DVD-514 has been discontinued. I'm not sure they will reply on a discontinued product.

2 out of 5 stars Worst remote control ever........2007-05-16

This is lightweight, which is good. It plays most (not all) of the CD/DVD types that it claims to, and does a pretty good job with them, with occasional skipping issues...

But the remote control is the WORST. You have to press the keys incredibly hard to get them to work at all, and if you're not within three feet of the device you have to press the keys more than once.

I would avoid this, unless you already have a programmable remote control. If so, throw away the remote that comes with it and use your own. You'll spare yourself strained fingers and muttered curses.

2 out of 5 stars Only useful for DVD playback.......2007-09-07

This DVD system does not have an aux input, so the speakers can not be used for anything else, unless you have a receiver to directly connect to the 5 speakers. So, I boudght a receiver, but I am not sure the subwoofer works right by itself (in the DVD setup, the subwoofer would receive and redirect all the channels from the DVD). As an entry-level model, it is thus not very useful: who wants to buy a separate receiver, which would cost as much as the whole entry-level system? Just look for a DVD home theater system with aux input if you like to use speakers.

Coby DVD-937 5.1 Channel DVD Player/Receiver Home Theater Speaker System

Product Description

Part of the overall concept of HDTV is an amazing improvement in sound. HDTV broadcasts and many commercial DVD discs are Dolby-Digital encoded todeliver surround sound. 5 speakers work to distribute sound to front left and right, from center, rear left and right. Then a subwoofer adds the sonic depth you'd experience in a movie theater. That provides you with a true home-theater experience. This system delivers 450 watts total power output and has a built-in DVD player that plays multiple format discs including DVD+-R/RW and CD. There's also an AM/FM radio. The DVD player and Radio are housed in a slimline receiver console that's only 2" high and 17" wide. With component and composite connectivity, you can connect this with your widescreen TV for a sweet suite of wonder in your home. That's why this COBY DVD-937 system is a must-have for you.

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!!!.......2007-05-28

This is the absolute worst electronic product that I have ever bought. The remote constantly sends the wrong signal to the system. I will press the root menu button the stop signal is sent, or if I press the next or previous chapter the setup menu comes up. More and more DVDs that I try and play with this system do not register and they work fine with my other DVD systems that I have. There are also lots of programming glitches that prevent proper use of the system. They were lucky that I had already passed the 90 day warranty. It is strange that all these problems started about 100 days into the use of the product. Customer Support just ignored my problems since I was past the warranty.

Product Description

The CH-DVD 300 is a small-footprint, ultra-compact DVD Player for home theater. While affordably priced, this unit has some of the most advanced DVD features available, including Progressive Scan, Last Memory function, JPG/MP3 and MPEG playback, Digital Audio outputs and more!With the CH-DVD 300, you can get started watching today's hottest DVD movies with superb video quality and in full surround sound. It's a perfect first DVD player, or as an additional unit for growing families. Small in size but big on features, it's affordable home entertainment at its best!

Amazon.com Product Description

Offering a downright amazing feature set for such an affordable price, Cyber Home's compact CH-DVD 300S makes a rich and promising starter player. You get everything from top-of-the-line progressive-scan component-video outputs to built-in MP3 decoding, JPEG image viewing, and 3:2 pulldown for viewing movies in their native frame rates.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the CH-DVD 300S stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

With 3:2 pulldown support, the player corrects for a common distortion in DVDs when 24 frames-per-second movies make the leap to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown removes the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

A set of multichannel analog-audio outputs routes decoded Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to your audio/video receiver. Dolby Digital and DTS signals can also be channeled through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and optical) for direct connection to a surround-featured AV receiver. The player has left/right analog audio outputs, too.

The CH-DVD 300S is compatible with DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW media, handling just about any recordable disc you give it. It can even play both PAL- and NTSC-formatted discs, handy when viewing non-region-specific European discs. Other features include motion zoom, screen saver, last-disc resume, and repeat play.

What's in the Box
DVD player, AC power cord, multi-function remote control, remote batteries, and a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect.

5 out of 5 stars no joke.......2007-12-04

I bought the little "ch" about 2 years ago at Odd LOts for 27.50 Ive never had any trouble with it at all. IT palys all regions and has a good picture. It has composite ,"s"vidieo and componet outputs. Can be set to progressive or interlaced scan. If you have a good high quality dvd the picture will amaze you at this price. I think Cyberhome has gone out of business though. Solidly built with all metal chassis. remote is a bit small but o.k. recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent DVD Player.......2007-11-26

Purchased this DVD player more than a year ago only to play some VCD's/DVD's which I got from India. Works like a charm. The litte guy plays every single Disc that you pop into it. It has taken over the role of the Primary DVD Player after my more expensive Daewoo died on me.
I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

5 out of 5 stars Great basic player with a perk!.......2007-11-24

My husband and I put DVD players through their paces as our TV is used almost exclusively for DVD viewing since we have no cable or satellite service. In the past four or five years we've gone through three mid-priced players; when they were subjected to our rigorous (and disc-after-disc) viewing they soon developed issues with skipping, not reading, humming, and overheating. We also are fans of foreign films and rare editions, but have never been able to afford an all-region player.

We heard tale of a great all-region player that could be found on Amazon for well under $75 and thought it was too good to be true. But as our DVD player at the time sounded like a mini helicopter every time we watched a movie, we were willing to try anything! It arrived super fast and we were pleasantly surprised at how compact the unit is (not as thick as a Harry Potter book, but wider). The first thing we did was set it up for all-region coding (instructions were included) and gave it a test run with a European disc -and it worked! So did a disc from Japan! Wonderful!

Bottom line, it is a great little basic DVD player with a fantastic all-region perk. It doesn't record or have a clock to set (but we haven't missed that), but has held up to our rigorous routine for over a month now and we couldn't be more pleased. Even the remote is nice; simple, not too thin, and all the buttons are clearly labeled. If you've always wanted a basic player and the ability to watch foreign discs but couldn't plunk down the extra cash, this could be the perfect player for you!

1 out of 5 stars Fine, but no legs........2007-11-02

I bought this for its no-frills cheap price about 9 months ago and it gave me about 30 hours of pleasant, satisfying viewing time. Then it whimsically refused to recognize any instructions from the remote. (Replacing the battery made no difference.) Most important, it refuses to turn on, and the power button on the front doesn't change anything. Worse, there is a DVD inside and I can't open the tray, so I'll have to destroy the little bugger to retrieve my disk. Don't bother with it. Pay more and get something reliable.

1 out of 5 stars Cheap Chinese Electronics.......2007-11-01

Like many other purchasers, I was impressed by the low ($39) price, Region Free and PAL capability when I bought this DVD player 2 years ago. It just inexplicably stopped working yesterday. Looking up Cyberhome, it seems the trademark and domain name is up for sale(?). 2 years and throw it away seems to be the world we live in. Are there any DVD players not made in Asian slave factories?

4 out of 5 stars Aceptable por el precio.......2007-12-22

Hace unos dias compre este modelo aprovechando el excelente precio, y por supuesto luego de ver algunos "reviews". Es mi primer DVD recorder, por tanto, no tengo ninguna referencia. Pero en general, hace lo que quiero: grabar programas de la tv (el tuner funciona bien) y grabar el monton de mini DV tapes que tengo tomados con mi camara sony. Me parece excelente esta funcion, con la entrada DV. Mi unica queja ahora ahora es el control remoto, poco alcance y necesita que este direccionado exactamente hacia el sensor. Ademas, no siempre responde.

5 out of 5 stars Great DVD player/recorder.......2007-10-05

This was a replacement DVD player/rec. for us and wow it is great. It works exactly how it was promised.

4 out of 5 stars Does not record to DVD-R DVDRW - But a fine product!.......2007-09-23

I purchased this unit not too long ago and find it very reliable as far as playing the multitude of discs that it features. However, upon reviewing the manual many times, I have tried to understand why the Technical Reviewer states that it can record to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs when the manual plainly states this unit can only record to DVD+R & DVD+RW discs.
Aside from that, I have found this unit very attractive and reliable. The picture quality is very good and the functions are easy to handle.
The greatest feature about this Coby DVDR1300 Player/Recorder is that it has a built-in 5.1 channel tuner which can be hooked up to your TV set. Audio cables are necessary for the sound and included with this unit.
Overall, this unit which is reasonably priced is a sure bet for anyone looking for a notably fine product and a satisfactory performance.

4 out of 5 stars Coby DVD Recorder that works..........2007-02-23

We had two other "inexpensive" dvd players that died recently and needed to replace them. This unit jumped out at me for three reasons, the ability to record to DVD, built-in TV tuner and the price. Setup was pretty simple and now the kids can watch their DVDs again. The recording quality of this unit is "ok". The unit has three different types of inputs: CABLE, RCA and S-Video, so it should work for most situtations. I gave the unit 4 stars, because it is not a high-priced or high-quality system and it met my low to medium quality device expectations.

1 out of 5 stars didn't work out.......2007-01-04

This Coby product arrived defective: power would come on but unit would not function. Otherwise, Coby products are great and this unit would have had great "bang for the buck". In fact, after reading the manual I have to say that this product would have been too advanced for this user.

This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

4 out of 5 stars A great deal.......2007-05-14

This DVD player is a good choice if you want something cheap that, perhaps, you won't be using all the time. I bought this for my exercise room so I can do exercise videos and it's perfect for that purpose. It was easy to use...just plugged it in and it was ready to go. The only problem I have with it is the remote control - I often have to press the buttons several times before the player responds. It's annoying, but not enough to make me send it back.

4 out of 5 stars Works on all sorts of DVD's - remote is weak.......2007-02-06

Very good DVD player, plays all sorts of DVDs, which is what I was looking for. The remote layout is odd, and not intuitive, plus it is weak (tried 3 sets of batteries) and you have to line up and stand within 7 feet to make the remote work the DVD player. However, this is a very good machine compared to the SONY I overpaid for. :*)

5 out of 5 stars So easy a 6 year old can do it........2007-01-27

I got this for my son for his 6th birthday. He has it down, the drawer works easy, the digital readings are easy for him to read and understand. The remote control is larger than our other DVD players with larger buttons so he manages it easy. This one is so easy a 6 year old can do it.

5 out of 5 stars Great buy.......2007-12-03

I haven't used the USB hookups yet but everything else works great. I love the sleek design and the it plays all our DVDs. Even the scratched up ones.

3 out of 5 stars A good player?.......2007-06-02

This might be a good player, who knows? Amazon doesn't actually stock the item. It lists "Availability: Usually ships within 9 to 13 days," but after waiting over TWO MONTHS for them to ship the item, I canceled the order.

4 out of 5 stars Good DVD for the price.......2007-10-28

I think this dvd player is a great buy...the disk tray opens fast with one touch of the remote...it seems that the movies i rent are for wide screen, but one touch on the zoom button on the remote, and it fills up my tv screen...it has an optical output for great sound...and it is very compatable with my home theatre...before i had a $300 yamaha..which i trashed because the door would not open... so for under $50 and as of now, free shipping, i think you can't go wrong...When this one quits, I will just trash it.... it actually has more features than my $300 unit...Sound and picture is very good. If you need a good dvd player I say BUY it...

1 out of 5 stars Another Flawed Unit.......2007-09-24

Just as the above reviewer, my unit failed after about 2 months. I don't think it is worth the hassle of the $12 return to Coby, except in principal.

Do not buy this junk, unless you only need to use it a few times, then plan on tossing it.

1 out of 5 stars Stopped working after 2 months, $12 fee to fix.......2007-07-13

This player stopped working after 2 months of very light use. The warranty is 3 months, but you have to ship the DVD player back to Coby and include a $12 money order to cover the shipping back to you. They will promise to ship you another unit in 4-6 weeks. So if you are willing to spend around $20 along with the hassle of getting the broken unit on its way back to Coby, you can spend the next couple of months hoping they actually send you a functional replacement which will last more than a few weeks.
