Coby TFDVD7008 7-Inch Portable DVD/CD/MP3 Player, Black

I purchased the portable DVD / Cd player, because many times as a Red Cross First Aid / CPR Instructor, I end up working with former certified individuals, who need a partial review. This dvd player allows me to tailor what is needed without have the burden of obtaining a lot of equipment.

The controls are basic and the image and sound are just fine. I am a firmer believer that you get what you pay for. This is a basic unit that works just fine. Both aspect ratio work. Although this is really minor, I would have appreciated a control to adjust the "tint".

Bought this in early September for a long drive to FL in December. I charged the unit immediately after I received it, but did not test it. Tried to use it for the first time last night (Nov 9) and it was dead/cold as a rock!! I tried several discs and also changed the power source and nothing worked.

Called the manufacturer on Monday morning. They agreed to cover it under warranty, but needed $10 in money order for return shipping and could not promise a return before Christmas. Called Amazon. Again, the superb customer service at Amazon stepped up to the plate and offered a refund and provided free return shipping.

If you need a reliable unit to entertain your children during travel, stay away from this one. I am just happy that I found out about the defect now instead of December.

Bought this for a gift for grandchild. Great!! Keeps her occupied in a smaller space. It's her tv and goes with her. Better control on what type movie/program she watches. Also, great for music. Total parental control.

Sleek carry case, easy to operate and good picture quality. So far, so good!

I received this product through the mail soon after I ordered it. However, it worked only very briefly when charging the battery and then the red light went off, perhaps it was damaged during the shipping process. I was not able to use it at all. Had to return it. What a disappointed purchase!!!
