I chose this particular product - as a cheap region-free player - based on previous reviews, even though some suggested problems with the region-free aspect. I decided to give it a try as others had found it worked just fine. Here's the straight goods: The instructions to make it region-free are NOT included, I have no idea why. But one phone call to Coby and the instructions were e-mailed to me. I was then quickly able to change the region to "0", which allows DVDs from any region to be played. This allows DVDs to be bought from Amazon's UK website at a fraction of the price (even including shipping) that they retail at here in North America.
The picture quality is first-class, and there are no other issues with the DVD player at all. I will say this however, the remote control is not one of those you can wave about vaguely, it requires accurate aim. All things considered, for my purposes, I'm very satisfied with this product for its price.

This Coby DVD player is a perfectly decent entertainment unit. It plays standard DVDs as well as DivX and Xvid files perfectly, and best of all, it can play files directly from a USB stick or SD card. It's difficult to find units with USB and SD slots, and that's the main reason I purchased this model instead of a better-known brand name.
A few minor downsides: The remote control is quite basic and cannot control your TV or other components, so you need to have two remotes in your hand at all times. And I cannot find the proper codes to control it with my universal remote.
Moreover, the on-screen display function for photos, DivX videos and MP3 files is a little buggy, so you can't see the full title of any file except the top one.
One caveat: I've only had this DVD player for a month or so, and I've never had one that lasted more than three or four years. I've currently got three in a bag ready to go to the recycling centre. Only time will tell if this one is more robust.

As far as I can tell the DVD player works very well unfortunate;y the remote does not work. This is fine if you do not want to do anything. So have watched a few movies seems to work good but have not been able to check out all the features. More dissatisfied with how the company is dealing with the remote than the actual product. They will send me a new remote but I still have to get a $6.00 cashiers check. Pain in the butt.

Not a region-free player, and cannot be made to be one

Pas de soutien technique ne retourne jamais votre appele
This never worked properly from the moment we received it. Customer support was pretty useless too. In fairness they replaced the original unit but with one just as bad. Read more
