I only found one review of this and the writer said the unit was junk. Stopped working after 3 discs were played.

Make sure you are using the correct exit port... the specs say digital and AV analog output... do you see 2 exit ports?

Otherwise looks like a bust to me. Sorry.

I have noticed that the new Avatars on sale have 3 discs in them now for various players! I find that interesting!

What do you mean correct exit ports. In the back of this unit there are 4 ports and a power input thing.

Of the 4 ports, there are red, white, yellow, and what appears to be orange.

I put the red in the red, the yellow in the yellow, and the white in the white. I plugged the power thing in.

Then in the FRONT of my Sony Trinitron, there are 3 ports. red, yellow, white, (and I've done this a long time ago with my little portable dvd player) and it worked fine, only I can't find the connector for that little gizmo so I can't use it with my tv, I can only use my little portable dvd player all by itself.

But this Coby, I really do think I installed it correctly. But yeah, it's a piece of junk.

My god, everything today is wi-fi and wire-less.

I can't even get Verizon to show up for a tech appointment.

To me, it's kind of scary to have to be dependent on these HUGE conglomerates when we used to be able to just sit back and watch tv for free.

Scares the bejesus out of me.

No one under the age of 40 understands what I am talking about. They all are on facebook.


Thanks much Mrs. D.

Well there is still free tv available if you have an antenna & a converter box.
or a new tv with built in tuner & a antenna.

I don't know how well it works if you are in a city with lots of tall buildings though.

Buildings, trees, even wind, rain, & snow will affect the over the air digital broadcast.
if you are close to a signal tower you should be OK.

I know for a fact -we use antennas & new tv with tuners.
We did use older tv with the tuner boxes (zenith converter is a good brand} but decided to upgrade 2 tvs at separate times when they went on sale.

no cable bill for us.

And I remember when tv's were SO BIG AND HEAVY and they had cathode ray tubes and the tv repairman made housecalls and took off the back of the tv, and replaced little tubes.

Oh god, I'm getting old!!

lol

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY GOOD FRIENDS AT NEUROTALK

from Melody and Alan

we got a Black Friday deal last year and it was also a Coby. Worthless piece of plastic IMHO. One never worked (store said so many had been returned that they were not even going to charge me the restocking fee). Second one died on 3rd day.
Sometimes free (or wicked cheap like I got) costs too much of my patience...

Hi

I emailed the company and they said "Do not even bother to return the dvd player, we are shipping you a new one"

What does THAT tell you??

lol

I'm imagining all the complaints that they must have received.
