I have had the player for about a year and now it no longer will read the discs. I guess it was good the price but just know you will have to replace

I was not expecting much when I purchased this product. I was surprised at how light weight it is, and how easy it was to set to multi region. This player is better than my $100 player.

Every single time I buy a dvd player from $100.00 to $184.00 they last one year. Granted we watch a lot of dvds, we don't watch t.v. However, that still bites, if I buy the "best" I expect it will work for years, not a year. I bought a cheapo Coby for my family room a year and a half ago, still works, no glitches. So i purchased another one for the basement and my workout room. I'm quite pleased with it, the remote has big buttons, but the remote itself is small.

I feature I like but isn't necessary in my workout room is to fast foward within scenes. I watch a lot of long winded BBC epics and the chapters are really long, and so sometimes if you stop and start you don't want to start at the beginning of the chapter again. I can do that on the3 Coby, but interestingly I can't on my Samsung, Sony of Magnavox.

Sometimes Cheap is better, Coby is the case. I've never had a disk fail to play on it, even home videos people give me.

I bought this for my apartment. Its compact (around the same size as a new hardcover book) and works great. I only wish it had an small screen on the front panel, but I wasn't willing to shell out any extra cash just for a screen. This is simple, functional and you can't beat the price.

I bought the Colby DVD player only in October 2008 and it stopped working two months after I bought it. Yes, its super cheap, but it should have certainly lasted longer. And, since the player died two months after the purchase, I couldn't get a refund from Amazon, as they have a 30-day return policy. Almost all stores have a similar policy but if an electronic item stops working within six months, stores like Target, Fred Myers replaces it. I think Amazon needs to rethink its policies.
