An Excellent Buy, April 24, 2005 Reviewer: Vannie(~.~) "WorkandFamily at BellaOnline.com" (South Orange, New Jersey United States) - I have had this portable DVD player for about 30 days and have used almost as many times. My previous DVD player simply died so figured I would try something different. I'm glad I did--I love it. Although the unit is small and portable I bought it because I could hook it up to my television and play my dvd's. Used this way, instead of a 7" screen, which by the way is wonderfully clear, you can watch DVD's full television size whether it is on a 13 inch in your kitchen or 50 inch in your den. Great color and good stereo sound for such a small unit. When used with your televison you get full stereo sound if your TV is stereo. It comes with a DC Car charger, stereo headphone, AV cable, 100-240 volt UL adapter and a rechargeagle battery. It also has functions I have not yet used, zoom, fast and slow motion and subtitles (I think in Spanish as well as English). It also comes with a remote control. All-in-all I am extremely happy with this Coby DVD player. The one problem I have is that I paid $200 for it elsewhere--however, I am trying to forget that.

Highly recommended.

Recomended despite, April 13, 2005 Reviewer: Micah Miessner -
on the downside the screen has a plastic shield that covers it when you get it which is a pain to take off :). I was going to leave it on and make due but there is a stamp on the plastic which messes with the view. Besides that this is an awesome little dvd player. I have had it for about 1.5 months. I take it everywhere. I take it fishing camping road tripping. Whatever. It is durable has great sound for as small of speakers as they are. Great battery life. I was able to watch Waterworld (approx 1.7 hours) and then like 3 episodes of Viva la bam (20 minutes apiece) and i turned it off because it said low battery. I was able to test how much longer the light would stay on warning the low battery at a later time and found out about 20 minutes (with the on dvd speakers set all the way up) So all in all great battery life. 2 slots to plug in head phones. Also comes with a cable to plug into a tv so that you can use this portable dvd player as a home dvd player which i have done a time before. I have had this player like i said 2 or less months. and have used it at least 2-3 times a week. Watched over 20 dvds on it still enjoy it. Compact and durable great purchase

my dream came true, April 9, 2005 Reviewer: Isabella C. Saunders - the dvd player and the case was just what i emagined,my friends like it and i my have to oder a few more,the shipping was good and on time as well,thank you.

DOA, twice! Piece of junk, not even worth $0, April 7, 2005 Reviewer: Gadgester (New York) - Found this at a local store of a major discount chain. Unpacked it, plugged in the AC, nothing came on. I tried it again, still nothing, no light, no image, no nothing, but the player's body felt warm after a few minutes. Took it back and got a replacement, making sure it was not a return unit or otherwise refurbished. Same problem. Conclusion: total piece of junk, not even worth a penny or less since it'll frustrate you.

Frozen image , Screen and MP3 playing problems , March 31, 2005 Reviewer: Serrano (Florida) - This was my 3rd DVD Player after 2 Intials IDM-1731 (returned both) and 1 Malata 710V (works perfect up today). The image frozen with some DVDs and the image quality was poor. MP3 Music playing also had problems, after a minute or so it stopped. After this I returned it and got my second Malata 710V DVD Player.

This DVD player is a great value !, February 25, 2005 Reviewer:H. Gordon (Central Coast California) - With so many portable DVD players to choose from in the sub-$200 category, and so many "not so positive" reviews on reliability, it's tough to make a decision, but I picked the one with the lowest percentage of negative reviews and pushed the "buy" button. This is a great little player, including substantial Li-ion battery pack, wall and car chargers and headphones. I actually haven't tried the included headphones, using my studio headphones instead, and I do pick up some low frequency rotational noise when the player first starts, but it isn't noticeable once it's going. I realize that the various low-cost players have their share of reliability problems, and I'm hopeful that the odds are in my favor, but in any case, I'm really pleased so far ...

Great Portable DVD Player, January 20, 2005 Reviewer: Jason Lent - I did lots of research before deciding to purchase the TF-DVD7100 portable DVD player. I was looking for a low cost, good quality device that I can take on my plane trips with me and I have been more then happy with this device.

The player is extremely light, about 1.8lbs with the external battery attached. Also, the Battery attaches to the bottom of the device and does not extend out beyond the back which is a huge + since space is at a premium on the airplanes.

The sound quality with my Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones is amazing and I was even impressed with the little built in speakers. Screen quality is excellent and the battery life is exactly as advertised at just over 3 hours on one charge. Both the battery and the device have jacks for the AC/DC charger so you can charge the battery off the unit (it even has a battey charge/full light on the battery and the player.

I love the ability to have AV IN so I can hook up my X-box which many of the low end players do not have.

My only knock aginst it is the case is entirely plastic, which is what should be expected for this price. Button layout and overall look/feel of the device is excellent.

I have had zero issues playing any of my DVD's however it will not play VCD. Overall a GREAT player for the price!!
