Coby DVD-515 High-Res 5.1 Channel DVD
Avoid COBY! Unless You Want a Defective Product...
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a COBY DVD-215 Progressive Scan DVD player. The store I bought it from offered a $20 rebate, bringing the total cost down to $19. Great deal, right?<br />As soon as I took this stinkin' thing out of the box and hooked it up, I noticed that the buttons on both the DVD player AND the remote were unresponsive. You had to press the buttons many times to get the thing to do what you wanted it to do.<br />Next came the fun of playing a DVD and watching it skip, pause, freeze, and hearing the sound go out all over the place. I tried another DVD. Same thing. And another. Same thing. I pressed \\"eject\\" on the unit several times, and the DVD didn't want to come out. Finally (thankfully) it did. <br />Aside from the defectiveness of the product, I was annoyed that you cannot use the remote to turn on the unit. You have to press the button on the unit itself. Also, the TV/Video switch had to be turned on on the TV itself. <br />I am convinced (and very angry) that COBY knowingly sold me a defective DVD player. Luckily I was able to return it - some are not as fortunate and are stuck with a DVD player they can't even use. <br />My advice - STAY AWAY FROM COBY!!
