4.0 out of 5 stars DVD review, January 11, 2007

Works well. Only 2 minor issues: First is the buttons on the front of the player are not clear re: stop, play, ect. which in the dark while traveling is frustrating as you push in trial & error. The remote is direct line of sight only. The second is the wireless headsets. They have a button on each that scans 4 frequencies for the sound connection. It is very easy to push this button & lose the connection while simply putting the headsets on or if a child adjusts theirs without realizing it until you question why you can't hear the movie. You have to keep pushing the button til the sound comes back clear. Also there was interferace one time by a powerful radio station in the major town we were in. On the other hand, the volume control is not as easy to change, that's a good thing with kids, and can be set & left at an appropriate level.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, December 14, 2006

After waiting for over 6 months for the release of the Coby TF-DVD7060 with wireless headphones(it was supposed to be released last summer, according to the Coby website), I was very excited when it finally became available.
Before purchasing this product, I had own the Coby TF-DVD7050 (very similar DVD, but without the wireless capability), for several months and had been very satisfied with it. So I thought the TF-DVD7060 with the wireless capability would be an improvement right?
Well, not so much...
The main problem is that the wireless capabilities are extremely limited. The Coby TF-DVD7060 has a radio transmitter, and the headphones have a radio receiver. The product manual says the reach of the transmition is up to 6 feet, but in reality the headphones don't work if the distance from the DVD player is more than 3 feet. I guess it is OK for someone that wants to use it in the car or while sitting on a desk, but that's it. I usually use my DVD while on the stairmaster, or doing chores around the house, and because of the limited reach, this product was useless to me.
So I returned the product, and with the difference in price (~$50) I bought a bluetooth wireless headphone kit (that comes with a transmitter), and stuck to my "old" TF-DVD7050, making it "wireless". Hopefully Coby will realize that the radio technology doesn't work, and move to Bluetooth soon. Only then I would be willing to give their new model another try.

UNIT WAS OK WHEN IT WORKED --ABOUT TWO MONTHS. RETURNED UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID TO SEND IT TO COBY AND THEY CHARGE $18 FOR RETURN POSTAGE. NO PROBLEM UNTIL..... THEY SENT A LESSER MODEL 7050 - WOULD NOT SEND EQUAL MODEL UNLESS I PAID TO RETURN IT. I MENTIONED THAT WARRANTY REPLACEMENT SHOULD EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE (WOULD YOU WANT A 25" TV IF YOUR 46' WAS SENT IN FOR REPAIR) THEY STATED THAT THIS IS THIER POLICY. COBY PRODUCTS ARE CHEAP YES. THEY ARE ALSO JUNK AND THE COMPANY SUCKS .. SONY IS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER IN TERMS OF QUALITY AND SERVICE
