Coby TF-DVD7100 Portable DVD Player
Dead Out of Box
We received as Christmas present today.  Took out of box, plugged it in and turned in on. The display turned on and showed \\"Coby\\", made sense.  It then displayed \\"No Disk\\", this also made sense as I had not yet inserted a disk, but then the display started going berserk.  I then powered down the unit and retrieved a DVD. I inserted the DVD and powered on.  The units' screen would now not display anything.  It briefly flashed lines all over the screen and then went white.  The DVD started playing (audio) over the internal speakers, but the screen never changed.  The directions stated to turn off for 30 minutes if their were any 'malfunctions' to allow the unit to 'reset'.  We tried this.  The screen returned to garbled lines and this time the audio would only play intermittently. This unit is cheaply made and any purchaser should not expect it to last any significant period of time.  There maybe a lucky few that gets one that lasts more than 6 months! Good Luck, this one will be promptly returned.
