"Great in Airports and at the Gym" | 2008-02-08 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3VFZP2564EPO4 |
| I love this product! I can stay on the treadmill for 2 hours if I am watching a good movie. The headphones are not great so I changed them out with my MP3 headphones. The picture is clear and the machine plays well. It is also great on the airplane and in the airport. I even travel with it and watch movies in my hotel room. This is definitely a good buy. |

"Look at the newer model...." | 2008-01-05 |

| I never thought Coby would be a brand I would be so happy with but this series of portable DVD players are great.I also purchased the newer unit w/speakers integrated and since this original purchase was for my teenage son with special needs any less attachments was a plus.So Dad inherited this unit and I love it!I found new Case Logic cd carrier with clear window which makes a great carrier for either unit and it really protects screen with only minor obstruction.Very personal...very portable...suprising battery life.I am happier with the speaker integrated model but also quite a few more $$$ |

"Prortable DVD Player For My Toyota Prius" | 2007-05-13 |
| - Reviewed By garyellis8 |
| I was looking for a small DVD player that I could use in my Toyota Prius. I have it setup so that it plays through the car JBL radio and uses the built in 7" screen on the Prius for the video. This DVD player is small enough to fit in the glove box or center console. It comes with all the cords and carrying case needed to be fully functional. I did not have to buy anything thing else. The picture and sound quality are very good. No need for anything thing else for use in an automobile. |

"One of the best item, I ever purchased from Amazon" | 2007-03-23 |

I bought it for my overseas trip. It worked very well. I have no complaints. Resolution: sufficient to enjoy movie.
sound: just sufficient with supplied ear phone.
Operation: Fantastic.
Evrybody, who saw me watching movie on this player was really jealous of me. I was offered so many times to sell it. Ultimately, I had to give it as a gift to a relatives's son. Going to buy a new one for me. |

| Great portable DVD player, the resolution is perfect and the sound is just fine. The only reason why I gave it a 4 was because it does get a little hot when you watch a movie with the wall outlet adapter. It does not do that when you use the rechargable battery. I love it. |

"Nice features However" | 2007-01-11 |
| - Reviewed By lkiss |
| I have had this product only 1 month. The features were why I purchased this item & I have not been disappointed with that. However, multiple segments on the function display did not illuminate. This was a gift for my son & the hassle of repackaging, returning to vendor, waiting for a replacement made an exchange non-desirable. In this case, buying the product from a store rather than over the net would be my recommendation. |

"Great little player" | 2006-12-25 |

I could have given this five stars,but I just purchased this little gem a few days ago and Im just getting used to it. I love the small screen size and the incredible picture. Another plus is once you attach the battery pack there is no need to remove it unless you want it even more compact. It does act as a stand and one of the fun aspects of this unit is that you can bring it virtually anywhere(it even fits in a big pocket)and can watch a DVD.
I have quite a library of TV shows on DVD, and say you are waiting forsomeone, or you have a fewminutes to kill before an appointment or whatever, you can just take this baby out and watch a 25 minute sitcom!
I am looking forward to bringng this with me on a cross country train trip next month. I d like to buy another battery for this unit, but I have no idea if they sell them alone.
I have always been a litte wary of Coby products. The headphones they have are awful, but I bought this and the 5 inch TV DVD radio from Coby and both so far seem great. |

"Def NOT hi-def" | 2006-12-23 |
| - Reviewed By User: A19KUWWB6UWE2T |
| I purchased this based on reviews here saying that the screen resolution was good. I have been very disappointed. The picture quality is horrible, menu's are almost unreadable. I'd rather watch movies on my Samsung DVD-L25 with a 2.5" screen than this larger 3.5" screen. Battery life seems good, but with the battery on, it doesn't even fit in the case it comes with. I wouldn't recomend this product to anyone. |

| I'll be the first to tell you that this product does not have the fancy bells and whistles that the other dvds may have, but what sets this little gadget apart from the others is its portability. I take it to the gym with me, set it on the magazine rack, watch an episode of Sex and the City, and a 30 min run on the treadmill seems like 15 min. It has made my gym life much less arduous. I recommend it! |

"Does exactly what I bought it for" | 2006-02-24 |

| Before buying this, I made a list of criteria... I wanted something portable that would play MP3s, CDs, and DVDs. I didn't want something that I had to load my existing physical collection into my computer and transfer to a player - which eliminated most MP3 players, like the IPod. I wanted external speakers to play music/audio in a small room. I wanted to watch movies on a plane. This is the model I bought, but mine came packaged with external speakers for $120. I set the speakers up on a shelf in my small room and leave the unit plugged in and ready to play music or audio until I need to travel with it. I am completely satisfied with it and would recommend it (but not for kids under 13). I've had it for 2 months and it has been on one trip with me. The screen is adequate for airplane viewing and the included headphones and volumn level of the unit overcame surrounding plane noise. I'm not an audiophile - so I can't say that the sound quality from either the speakers or headphones will satisfy a sound expert - but I'm happy. When using the unit with the LCD on, it will get hot over time. When I listen to music, I turn the LCD off and it never even gets warm. The battery pack doubles as a stand for the unit - I really like that - but worry about ever finding a replacement. The buttons are small on this unit - the included remote is nice, but I don't travel with the remote. |
