Update

 

Worked for 3 months

Then the warranty ran out. Died in October. Coby doesn't care, I guess I'll be avoiding this brand from here on out ; I've had DVD players die before, but they usually work for at least a year before they go

Disappointing - doesn't last

 

Disappointing - doesn't last

Movie doesn't play in sync. Sounds/voices come after the actions. Very distracting to try to watch...looks like a really bad lip sync job. Plays fine on other DVD players. I'd pass on this model..you get what you pay for!

COBY DVD-283 HD Upconversion DVD Player with HDMI Output

 

Plays DVDs just like you would expect it to. I'm only using composite out, so I don't know about the hdmi or upconvert capabilities.

The audio slowly develops a lag during the course of a movie. Not noticeable during the first half an hour, but it becomes rather annoying later on. Pausing will cause it to re-synch. I never noticed this until recently, but the dvd player is mostly...

Broke after 6 weeks

 

Broke after 6 weeks

Beginning on day 1, the player made a loud noise whenever in use. After 6 weeks (and no more than a dozen dvd viewings), it stopped working all together... whenever I put in a DVD it powers off. Not worth the cost of sending it back; a total waste of...

Breaks down again and again

 

Breaks down again and again

I got this player for its up-conversion feature and HDMI outputs. It worked fine for a while, but broke down after 2 months. I contacted customer service and they suggested I send it back (with a $13 S&H charge) and they will replace it. I did just...

A piece of junk after a few months

 

A piece of junk after a few months

I had the similar experience with this product. Within five months it broke to the point where it will not even recognize any DVDs/CDs that are put into the player. Actually I used only about 10 times. When I called Coby, they told me that the warranty...

Nice player, cheap price

 

Nice player, cheap price

I bought this player because I bought an HDTV and want to take advantage of the HDMI input and surround sound. It is about the cheapest unit you can find, especially with HDMI input. I found that DVD players break rather easily, regardless of brand,...

Broke after couple months

 

Broke after couple months

I do not recommend this player. Within a couple months it broke to the point where it will not even recognize any DVDs that are put into the player. The warranty is awful considering I have to pay shipping both to and back from the company. At which...

This product really delivers. The HDMI output allows for awesome video and audio and the small sleek design enables you to use it just about anywhere. You will not beat this product for the price!
