Coby DVD-R1000 DVD Recorder/Player , Silver
Better left on the shelf
I bought this unit at ABC Warehouse and could not believe the price, I had the wife pick it up on the way home from work and connected it to my system as soon as she brought it in the house.<BR>I used to work for a cable company and I know all the in and outs for hooking these things up.<BR>After it was all plugged in and ready to go we checked the picture, it was unbelievably dark and washed out!<BR>I fiddled with it (hoping I could change the brightness etc... of the tuner) but to no avail. Thinking it was a \\"bad\\" unit I sent the wife back to exchange it for another, got it home hooked it up, same thing.<BR>Wanting the unit basically to record shows for my daughter I checked to see if I got the same dull washed out picture when I actually did some recording. To my dismay the picture quality was just as bad on the recorded media as it was from the tuner.<BR>As nice as the price was I had to return it yet again.<BR>I personally took it back and talked to the manager at the store and he pointed to a pile of returns with customers complaining not only of the picture, but sound quality also.<BR>Needless to say I did not give it a third try.<BR>My advice? Stay away from this one it is a headache.<BR>I now have an order in for the CyberHome and will leave feedback when I evaluate it after some weeks /months of use.<BR>Hope this saves you the headache I had to put up with concerning this unit.<BR>Best of luck!
