Coby TF-DVD7100 Portable DVD Player
Excellent DVD player, but only for careful people
I got this DVD player last christmas and before that I had read some of the comments here at Amazon, saying that it was crap, and it broke about a month after you bought it.....but whatever. I got it, and until now it has worked perfectly.<br /><br />I use it EVERYDAY, since it's the only DVD player I have at home, so I use the charger everyday, and the wire to connect it to the TV everyday too. Since last december, I have listened mp3 discs, VCD, DVD (original and copies), regular music CD's and photo CD's (including CD-RW). All of them have played excellent. The only disc I've tried to play on this player and didn't work the wai I wanted is a karaoke CD that came free with the \\"Shark Tale\\" DVD sold at Walmart. The lyrics were supposed to appear on screen but they didn't, the music played only...<br /><br />Still, I have also used the wire to use it in the car, and once it spent 8 hours on, without turning it off once, because it was on a car trip...<br /><br />I would say that this is NOT a recommendable DVD player to people who don't take care of things too much. It's a delicated device, and you have to treat it nicely, otherwise, it'll happen what other people wrote here: it won't play the discs, the battery won't be useful anymore, but I have to say that you have to take care of it and you'll have it for a lot of more time.<br /><br />Other thing I have to add is that it takes about 4 hours to charge the battery completely, and you can use it while you charge the battery. And the battery also lasts something like 2 hours without turning it off at anytime.<br /><br />To end with this: a perfect player for careful people, but if it's used by a child or a \\"violent\\" person, of course it won't last much, as everything else.<br /><br />That was my comment, I hope you make a good decision.<br /><br />Bye.
