Coby DVD-R1100 DVD Recorder/Player with NTSC TV Tuner
Don't buy this machine, unless..?
Okay, for the money it has a pretty awesome set of features! Trouble is, it's really unreliable. By all accounts what happen to me is pretty common! If you're as unlucky as me you'll burn a slew of coasters alongside your good recordings and then after 95 days it'll just burn out completely! The Goods news is, if it burns out within 90 days Coby will send you a new machine free of charge (or for $31 at any time after 90 days)because they don't repair. The bad news is they no longer make the 1100 and you get a free upgrade to a 1200! By all accounts the 1200 is more reliable, but, with an inferior spec. It has less imputs/outputs, including no optical output, and only has 2 channel sound capability, instead of the 5.1 available with the 1100.  <br /> <br />...BUT apparently Coby are going to reintroduce a new (reliable) 1100 later this year? So.. if you have one, you can do like me, stick your crapped 1100 in a cupboard and watch their website and then send your $31 dollars, once the new 1100 is introduced!
