Coby TFDVD-7700 7-Inch Side-Loading Portable DVD Player
Cool Design, Very Happy
I purchased the same product at my local Fry's store, before a business trip to Europe.  It was branded as Digix model SDV17; but is exactly the same product as the Coby.  I got an incredible deal on sale $249 (new, not reconditioned).<br />I did a lot of research before buying, and I must say I am very happy with the unit.<br />PRO:<BR>- Very cool design - even has a little kickstand to place on at table<br />- Solid build quality.  Much better than expected.  Only the Sony had better tactile quality.<br />- Battery attaches to the bottom of the tablet, and does not increase the thickness of the unit.  Cleaver design, the batter attaches with one thumb screw.<br />- Disk does not skip when the unit is bumped <br />- All accessories included<br />- Cheap enough to be considered disposable if anything goes wrong<br />- Extra batteries are reasonably priced at $70<br />CON:<br />- Not all functions required the remote (like fast forward).  This seems to be a common problem with all these little players.  Seems very strange industry decision considering must people will only used these as portable units.<br />- Picture is not high resolution, although I see absolute not differences with any of the 7 inch players.  Even the Sony has the same resolution.  To get a significantly better picture you need to move up something like the Toshiba 8.9 inch SD-P2600k, which DOES have a great picture - at twice the price and larger footprint.<br />- Several times I have loaded a disk and sub-titles are already turned ON and you need the remote to turn this OFF.
