Coby DVD237 Progressive Scan DVD Player
Plays PAL discs on my NTSC system
We bought our DVD-237 last night and have watched about eight hours of video on it.  The great attraction for us is its ability to play our Chinese PAL video on our NTSC television.  The picture looks good and the sound, through our 2.0 system, is clear and clean.   <br /> <br />The remote is small and awkward to use.  It is small (2\\"W x 4.5\\"H x 0.5\\" D) and the membrane switches do not provide good tactile feedback.  It is very sensitive to how it is aimed at the player.  The remote is a key element because there are only minimal controls (open drawer, play/pause and stop) on the front of the unit.  Basically, if there is no remote, the operation is limited to Play/Pause, Stop and open drawer.  If the remote was better I would rate this player higher.  Our Coby 224 has a more conventional remote that works very well with that unit.   <br /> <br />Time will tell on the reliability issue.  Our other Coby player has been working well for us for about three months.   <br />
