Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Coby's DVD-515 plays your favorite DVDs and a range of popular digital media files, offering MP3 listening convenience alongside high-end video functionality--including a dedicated progressive-scan VGA computer-monitor output so you can take advantage of your monitor's high-end video abilities even if your home-theater TV is SD (standard definition). The player also works well with older audio/video receivers, which may lack digital-audio inputs: the DVD-515 decodes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround formats.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-515 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Top-of-the-line component-video outputs (switchable between progressive-scan and standard interlaced video) help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver, or you can take advantage of the unit's built-in decoding and use it with a "surround-ready" receiver as mentioned above.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a great choice..., March 3, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Coby DVD-515 High-Res 5.1 Channel DVD (Electronics)
Stay away from this player. I recently purchased one and had to return it within a few days. The player was unable to read half of my store-bought DVD collection, often would not read sound unless I went into the sound setup menu and backed out again, and had a tendency to skip chapters during playback. When returning the unit, even the salesman told me to avoid Coby and try a different manufacturer. If you are looking for a low priced secondary DVD player, do yourself a favor and invest a few more dollars to get one of greater quality. The time and hassles you save will be well worth the slightly greater price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coby 515 Pal/NTSC DVD Player, September 21, 2004

This review is from: Coby DVD-515 High-Res 5.1 Channel DVD (Electronics)
I live on the Monterey Peninsula in California USA. I purchased this DVD Player so I can watch Pal region 2 German Movies.
I have no problems whatsoever with sound Quality or picture Quality...
In fact I think the picture Quality is awesome. Even better than my expensive DVD Player.. (Panasonic) I also like the fact that Coby has a great Customer Service Staff that is readily available to assist anyone who encounters problems. I use my 515 Player with the Coby 915 Home Theater System.. Together they make a great Home Theater that has great picture Quality and Sound Quality.

Using the remote is very easy and setup for Audio and Pal was also very easy. I would recommend this DVD Player to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to watch both Pal Movies Region 2 and also NTSC America Region 1 Movies....

One thing however> in order for the DVD Player to work both Regions, the Television must also be a Multi System TV... meaning that it can play NTSC and Pal...

Great multi region DVD player for money! This Dvd player has given me no problems at all in 6 months of ownership and is easily programmed to play DVD's from all regions, PAL region 2 , Australian dvd's, etc. Not bad for 50$.
