Ok unit but missing a few things
There is only 1 - 2 channel audio input, no optical inputs for hooking up stuff like your xbox to get true surround sound :(,
Note: I was trying to tune the radio to a local station just so when I switch from DVD to AUX and pass radio channel it wouldn't be on static (I have no intent on using this for its radio), when manually browsing through the stations...

Chose this product because of the value (price vs features). Overall I got what I wanted /expected.
Features I was looking for:
-ability to play DivX movies
-HDMI connection
-Surround sound
Bonus features:
-USB Connection
Annoyances:
-vast sound difference between radio and other sources - need dvd player approx level 30, radio level 2. The default setting seems to be level 35, so switching between sources when you turn it on is a pain if you don't turn down the volume
-volume knob on the unit is erratic
-no random selection when playing music (off USB drive)
Installation was easy, works OK with my TV, plays DVD's and videos well, good radio reception.

Note: I was trying to tune the radio to a local station just so when I switch from DVD to AUX and pass radio channel it wouldn't be on static (I have no intent on using this for its radio), when manually browsing through the stations first off it takes forever and when I get to certain non station channels the speakers would go to static at full 100% volume even if muted.
Until I get the HDMI cables I ordered I opted to hook up the component cables took a bit to figure out you have to turn on the options in the menu to enable component video and you cannot do that unless u first connect the player via standard video cable.

I installed this system in my 5th wheel RV and it works (SO FAR) excellent. I play CD's and DVD's on it and also connected my Direct TV system as well as cable at various RV parks with no problem.

I bought this item as a Christmas present for my husband. We have used it 6 times and in the middle of watching a movie we paused the movie to greet a guest when we came back the unit had no power and no longer works. We don't even have a way to retrieve the CD inside. The system also does not work through your cable box so basically it is a stand alone system no surround when watching TV. Horrible directions and explaining this before purchase it took us several hours to get sound from our TV when not watching a DVD very disappointing since we had a receiver prior which worked with all components. When we contacted Coby we have had it over 3 months so they will do NOTHING for us. Not only is this a poor quality item but the manufacturer doesn't stand behind their product 3 months for a Home Theater System???

For the price range, they sound great, and it is extremely loud (I'm a performing musician, so I can handle VERY loud... While playing my 360, anything above about 15 is uncomfortably loud for me. TV is about 25-30 depending on the program, it defaults at 35, and I've never had any need to try and take it above there.
It's well made, and very solid (be advised, the Sub is rather large), and the DVD player works like a charm.
The one con: the fan on the receiver. When there is a signal present, it constantly spins up and down and is loud enough to be heard over the fans on the 360. For the non-gamers, that is a real feat.

This product has excellent sound, and video. It does require some reading of the manual to use certain features, such as the radio. I would purchase it again. For the price, I think it is a good value.
