Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Get the party started with the slim, stylish Coby DVD628 DVD player, which will play all your favorite DVD movies as well as karaoke discs. It features two microphone input jacks and several adjustment functions, including volume and amount of echo. The DVD628 even comes with one microphone. It's compatible with both NTSC and PAL video systems, and it will play standard DVD movie, CD audio, CD-R/RW, and Picture CD discs. Convenience features include multiple viewing angles (with compatible discs), picture zoom, and parental lock controls (via password protection). It offers the following connectivity options:

• Composite A/V: 1
• S-Video: 1
• Component video: 1
• Coaxial digital audio: 1
• Optical digital audio: 1

Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

2.0 out of 5 stars A six month solution, December 29, 2005

We bought this for Karaoke last July. We've used it maybe a half dozen times since then, but when we went to use it today (less than 6 months since we bought it) the CD drawer would not open. I hope J&R Music World (who we bought it from through Amazon.com) allows me to exchange it!

The karaoke was ok. The microphone sound is not very clear since it's being synthesized through the player, and the lyrics are sometime jumbled, but for the money it was an ok karaoke machine. Now I wish I'd spent a little more, though, because six months is not enough for anything to last!!!

This review is from: COBY DVD Player with Karaoke DVD628 (Electronics)

It is not a top of the line product, but enough for amature young children to have fun with. Unforturnately, the microphone that came with the package did not work. I checked out the warrenty on Koby's website and found out that it would cost me more than the microphone's worth to get a replacement. So I did nothing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, Poor user manual, December 25, 2005

This review is from: COBY DVD Player with Karaoke DVD628 (Electronics)

The DVD plays fine and sounds good(no DTS, tho). Getting the microphones to work was not explained in the virtually worthless user manual. I found, through a user review, that you have to go to the karaoke setup menu and select "auto" for the microphone. "Auto" appears to be the default, but unless you manually select "auto" (!), the mics won't work. I bought it for karaoke and fun, not viewing movies, so it does that job fine.
