Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Coby's compact DVD-207 affords DVD and CD playback from a device about the size of a soft-cover book. Whether you're ferrying the player between the kitchen and the bedroom or hooking it up for periodic use by the kids, the DVD-207's small size permits myriad uses. While not quite portable in the traditional sense--the unit has no screen and requires AC power--the DVD-207 is much easier to move around, set-up, and use than a traditional component DVD player.
It handles not only your DVD-Videos (both NTSC- and PAL-formatted discs), but your music, too, from standard CDs to home-burned CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3-encoded CDs. Further, you can load a disc brimming with digital photos for custom slide shows in the comfort of your home theater.
An onscreen display simplifies setup and operation, and the unit comes with a compact, full-function remote control. Other features include parental controls (with PIN lock), frame-by-frame slow motion, picture zoom (2x, 4x), and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs).
Like to travel? The DVD-207 won't hog space in your bag, and an auto-switching universal power supply handles inputs from AC 110 to 220 volts (50/60 Hz) for use in most countries. Accordingly, the unit's onscreen display offers a choice of 5 setup languages: English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.
A composite-video output ensures compatibility with nearly any television and many newer computer monitors. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial-type digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver, while a set of standard left/right RCA analog outputs simplifies hookup with traditional integrated amplifiers and most televisions.

This review is from: Coby DVD-207 Compact DVD Player (Electronics)
I purchased a Coby DVD-207 locally from a retailer because of the awesome price. They had it with a $20 mail in rebate that made it a hard deal to pass up. I purchased one and quickly went back to my dorm room to set it up. While unpacking it from the cardboard I noted that the entire unit feels rather flimsy. I was easily able to get the wires plugged in, and I started it up. I put a normal, store purchased DVD in and turned the unit on. There were some grinding noises from within the unit and it took between 3-5 seconds before it started playback. During playback the audio and video would randomly skip, making the movie all but unwatchable. I put the DVD into my laptop and it played back without any issues. I tried several other DVDs and audio cds and found them all to have the same playback problem. I quickly called the store back and spoke to the manager, they said that several people had the same problem with this model and they would exchange it for in store credit. So, after only owning it for a few hours, it went back to the store. I am glad I dodged that bullet and got rid of it before it died and was not in the store's warranty. If you read the warranty information from Coby when you unpack the unit, you will realize that they don't have any interest in fixing or replacing a defective unit (My unit's warranty required that I pay for shipment both ways and also pay a fee for returning a defective unit...) By that point, to get a replacement for a broken unit, you end up paying more than you did in the first place. Do yourself a favor, spend a bit more money and get something that is higher quality, it will last longer and larger companies have more consumer friendly return policies.

This review is from: Coby DVD-207 Compact DVD Player (Electronics)
I bought this DVD player thinking that I would give it as a gift to my friend. AS of March 8/9 2005, it still says pre-order but 5 minutes after a checked-out, it's status is already shipping soon. I guess it was shipped on the same day because I received the item by March 11.
So, I opened the box and set-up it up.. it's so small, I love it. The media that I tried was DVDr and the picture at the TV was ok but there would be some milisecond stop from time to time. It seemed that the DVD could not read smoothly the media on it. And the dvd makes a loud noise. You can hear the disc spinning inside it 8 feet away from it. If it's not the DVD, it should be something else. All in all I would not suggest the DVD to be your main DVD player. Its performance is mediocre. I'll keep mine however as a spare in case of DVD player emergency :-) . For 32 bucks, it's worth keeping it. I'll try to find another another dvd player for my gift to my friend though.

Should have trusted prior reviews,
By DVD buyer "Jeff" (Hoffman Estates, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coby DVD-207 Compact DVD Player (Electronics)
I bought this item because I had a special space requirement that benefited from this unusual top load design. The unit would not select tracks, skipped over the menu screen, and made the aforementioned grinding noises. I took the same DVD-R and it played flawlessly on my one year old Sony DVD player. This is my first Amazon return despite many purchases. Not worth your time even for the $19.99 I paid with free shipping and I guess the manufacturer agrees. The in-warranty repair requires pre-paid shipping and $6 to cover return shipping so by the time you pay to ship the item, a warranty repair costs more than half the item cost.
