Cons: Two BRIGHT front lights. The unit itself has a (low) buzz/grind noise when playing. Review: I purchased the Coby 514 (TheNerds.net) and am satisfied with the performance. I plugged the provided audio/video cable into my Sharp 32" TV and installed the remote control batteries (provided)and was ready to go. from Shopping.com Summary: This is for the DVD-515 model. I guess it is similar to the DVD-514. Bad manual. from Thenerds.net I have tried everything and it still doesnt work!!! What a piece of junk and waste of money!!! Do not waste your money on Coby products!!! They seem promising at first but then couple months later doesnt even work!!!... from Amazon.com I bought this device as my first DVD player, used to work fine. Then i bought a Sony Home Theater and left this as my CD/MP3 player (music only) but it only plays some CD-R disks, i dont know if there is a special way to burn the disk in order the COBY can play it. If you are looking only to play movies, this will do it. from Amazon.com This player does everything it claims. I especially needed a standalone player that could handle all the "burned" DVDs that pass through my house, and it certainly does that just fine. My only complaint, in fact, is that Coby players seem to be incompatible with all the universal remote controllers on the planet. from Amazon.com I figure that there's probably a couple of different releases of this unit on the market with different firmware versions, one of which will allow multi-region. I just replaced it with a Philips DVP1013 which worked first time (after inputting the region hack). I will never buy anything from Coby again. I only give it 1 star because Amazon won't let me choose zero. from Amazon.com It freezes up in the middle of the movie, and the remote doesn't work even though I changed the batteries. It's very frustrating, and I have contacted Coby support even though I've found that DVD-514 has been discontinued. I'm not sure they will reply on a discontinued product. from Amazon.com I couldn't remove the eyesore, and eventually ended up scratching the unit as I scrubbed away with a sponge and butterknife (fingernails didn't work, by the way.) After about 30 frustrating minutes, I decided that, for $45, I wouldn't even try to send it back to the seller. I just tossed it and went to the store, where I got a nice Sony for $75. This was such a weird, stupid incident - I'll never but Coby again as long as I live. They essentially sold me a STICKER for $45!!! from Amazon.com I bought this DVD player over 6 months ago and haven't had a single problem with it. I'm very fussy about special effects and this one does it all with ease. If you want something that is inexpensive and works great with all your discs, I highly recommend the Coby DVD-514. from Amazon.com The manager made it very clear that alot of them had been returned for the same exact issue-reading disk error. So here I sit with this DVD player that doesn't work at all and yet it is just like new. I thought Coby was a decent brand but I guess not. from Amazon.com
