1.0 out of 5 stars sadly, this product is a turkey, January 25, 2008

This review is from: Coby DVD-277 Superslim DVD Player with Divx, SD Card Slot & Progressive Scan (Electronics)

Would love to find a player with all these features that works 100%. We sent back our first one because the USB port didn't work. Got the replacement and the SD card reader didn't work. I thought, third time's the charm, right? Sent it back indicated I wanted to exchange it for another, and Amazon wrote back that they hadn't anticipated so many problems with this model, and they were refunding my money instead of sending a replacement. I see as of this writing it is still for sale and there are 5 left in stock.

You MAY still want to get this, though -- you could get lucky and get one that works, and even if it doesn't work, Amazon is absolutely GREAT about returns (they even give you a postage-paid return label to print out and stick on the shipping box that you hopefully didn't throw out) and you'll get your money back.

3.0 out of 5 stars Coby DVD-277 - What you pay is what you get.., December 7, 2008

This review is from: Coby DVD-277 Superslim DVD Player with Divx, SD Card Slot & Progressive Scan (Electronics)

First off, this is a nice looking product. Very slim and the colors of sliver + black makes the unit very attractive. When combined with your existing equipment in the entertainment center, it can be very stealthy.

Pros :

* Cheap - I bought mine for 39.99 with free shipping (sold by Amazon)

* Slim and good looking

* Simple remote control

* Plays DVD, VCD and mpeg files recorded on either DVD or CD. Can read DVD +/-, DVD-RW, CD-R, CD-RW)

* Plays movies and photos from USB hard-drives and USB thumb drives (I connected a fairly large external hard-drive and it worked fine)

* Plays movies and photos from SD card

Now to the important aspects

Cons:

* The CD window (or panel, where you place the CD) is a little flimsy, It could easily break with little push. So not a good idea to let kids pop in the CD

* The USB port doesn't recogonize (most of the time) if a device is already attached. In order for this to work, I have to unplug and plug the USB wire (is the software inside done by Microsoft ? ' )

* When playing movies from external source through SD card or USB, the folder listing is not very user-friendly. It can only read one level of folder structure. Can't handle folders with-in folders very well.

But for $40 (with free shipping) I think this is a good deal.

Update: The component video output failed in the middle of watching a movie. Other outputs (s-video and coaxial) only give black-and-white output. I think the box has died!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Dead after one Day., August 19, 2008

This review is from: Coby DVD-277 Superslim DVD Player with Divx, SD Card Slot & Progressive Scan (Electronics)

The item seems to be a great value for what it does and you cannot complain. However, value and quality are two different things. We hooked the unit up, watched one DIVX movie, and BLAM...no power. DEAD.

I know I am probably one out of a 100 that got a lemon, but it was a lemon indeed...and I am kind of disappointed.

I am giving it 3 stars because it is a GREAT value.....but could have been better packaged....

I am sure my disappointment is rare....

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well
Both the SD and USB slots work on my unit. The only problem is that it is a bit difficult to navigate folders on USB or flash media.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neat little machine
Makes it easier to view downloaded movies in DATA format, so you dont have to waste time with burning 1 movie to a dvd which can take hours of processing time.
