Coby DVD-209 DVD Player

Good and cheap DVD player

Strengths: Can be made region free using hacks Less expensive Does its job Small, compact and light weight

Weakness: Construction is not good, very fragile Very sensitive, hangs on scratches Few functions

This player very good for moderate usage. Will break if it is used very heavily due to its cheap built. The power cord started shaking after I moved it few times and the soldering broken inside. Had to send for an exchange. Easy to hack to make it region free so that it will play any region DVD. Very small, compact and light weight so easy to carry. Doesn't play divx movies, of course for this...

You get what you paid for... and that is a good...

Strengths: Light and compact, easy to use

Weakness: Does not play all formats

My daughter won one of these for fundraising. After she used it for a while, we decided to buy a second one for my older daughter's room. Now, considering the price, this was a great purchase for our family. They are easy to use and very compact in nature. My girls are thirteen and ten and both love these players. In fact, I am constantly stealing my movies back from their bedroom. My youngest...

Colby 209 DVD Player

Strengths: I like it's compact size. It is easy to set up quickly. The price was low.

Weakness: It is a noisy when you first start it up. While watching a movie it has an occasionally jerks or stutter.

When I bought this product I was looking for a DVD player that I could movie to different locations quickly and easily. I would say this does exactly what I wanted it to do. The only feature I wish it had that it doesn't is a head phone port so I could hook speakers to it when I am using a projector. I am pleased with this product and may buy another one.

Coby DVD-209 DVD Player

Strengths: cheap, light weight, compact and attactive design.

Weakness: functionwise, not powerful

It's very compact and easy to move from place to place, and it can take 110v to 240v which allows me to carry it oversea. So far it has played with every DVD I have. The downside is it doesn't have many features I had expected.

Coby DVD player

Strengths: Compact and easy to use. Silver color matches nicely with tv and stereo systems.

Weakness: Durability

DVD player was a freebie with a 32" LCD TV. It's compatible to Viewsonic. Plays DVD's fine. Easy set-up. Plug it into TV and push play. No fancy features and durability a question, but for value it's good-to-go.

Good player, but not durable

Strengths: cheap. small. able to become region free.

Weakness: will break down within a year. Not good for the environment.

I bought this brand new and used it as my main dvd player. I freezes up now and then, but I can live with that. But it finally broke down about 9 months of constant use. The thing just stopped spinning and has a no dvd message. The design was good, but the components are cheap and don't last. I looked inside and saw the cheap motor which is probably the culprit. I was loud and seemed to be...

Coby compact DVD player

Strengths: Small, inexpensive, has digital audio output

Weakness: no battery operation, composite video out only

The Coby portable dvd player is a little bit larger than a portable cd player. We've been using it as an inexpensive dvd player for the kids bedroom. It does NOT operate on battery power, so it is not really a true portable, just compact in size. The unit has played dvd's better than our larger Sony player (which sometimes will not play certain discs). The included remote has good range but...

Compact DVD-209 Player

Strengths: Small, compact, easy to carry around, easy setup, good value (cheap)

Weakness: Flimsy, cheaply built, loud noise, bad remote control interface.

This small, compact DVD player is ideal for traveler. You can pack it and connect to your hotel TV quick and easy. But because of its cheaply built design, I'm afraid it could be broken down easy too. When start, it makes this loud noise, I thought it was defective, but according to the review here, it's normal. The remote control is hard to use. I couldn't get it play some of my recorded DVD...

Ultra portable system

This little DVD player plays everything I threw in it so far. I really did not expect much considerting the low price, but it did work well beyond my expectation.
