Coby TFDVD7751 7-Inch Tablet Portable Dual Screen DVD Player, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this unit for a road trip with our young children.I couldn't have asked for a better unit.We paid about $140 with fulfillment by Amazon.

It comes with all the cables you'll ever need:A/C adaptor, car adaptor, cassette adaptor (not sure what that's for), cables to connect DVD player to a TV, cable to connect DVD playing unit to the second monitor, two sets of headphones.Also comes with remote control and batteries.

The included cases that hold the units to the back of the front-row headrests were easy to install and work fine.The car cord reaches from the front seat all the way to the outlet in the trunk of my Honda Odyssey, leaving the front outlet available for phone/ipod/gps/etc.

The picture is clear on both screens, and sound from either unit was clear and loud enough even on bumpy roads.Anti-skip technology worked well.

Potential Cons (and I'm really stretching to call them "cons"):

1. You have to unplug, then take the player out of the headrest-mounted holder to change the DVD.I didn't think this was hard to do; I'd get the movie cued up before replacing the unit in its holder.

2. DVD player takes an extra moment or two to skip ahead when you press the >> button.This is relative to a nice DVD player I have in my family room at home.I can't see how this would inconvenience anyone too much.It's a matter of a few seconds, not "forever."

3. Headphones are a strange design, I couldn't figure out how to get them to fit on anyone's head.They do work, we plugged them in just to test them out, but we never intended to use them, so I didn't try too hard to figure out how to make them fit.I'll give Coby the benefit of the doubt and assume they probably do fit on someone's head, somehow. [update: I got a teenager to show me how the headphone goes around the ear.I feel so OLD.]

4. Be careful where you store the screens; like other portable DVD players, they can scratch.

BOTTOM LINE:Just what we needed, high quality video and audio on both screens for a great price!Highly recommend.

Denon DBP1610 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One must wonder where the street price will land on these in a month or even weeks. In a competitive landscape where quality 7.1 analogues are below $300 (ie 320), lightning speed and quality upconversion are below $225 (JVC), and netflix and pandora streaming are available for $200, how a denon can justify a $500 MSRP player without a brand name chipset, mediocre speed, and only two channel out. It is a well-built, heavy player that looks awesome in a rack (not as masculine as a 2500/3800), but neither wins on performance nor wins on value.

The mid-range ($300 to $600) market segment is book-ended by the Pioneer 320 on one end and the Oppo 83 on the other. Players like the Denon 1610 struggle to stand out in regard to either performance or value, which is a dangerous proposition for the majority of us who are not brand-addicted. I know I have been probably a bit overly critical of higher branded players like the Onkyo 606 and 507 and the Harman Kardon BDP1, but I firmly believe in quality and value. This is probably why I have banged on about both the pioneer 320 and the JVC XV BP1. They put very high quality AV performance or lightning fast operation in the hands of normal folks in tough times.

The 1610 (and the 2010 for that matter) are a bit late to the party and too expensive. I would strongly recommend the 1610 were its street price just under $300 (and I suspect it will be come Halloween). The 2010 is one of the few direct competitors to the Oppo for pure BD/DVD performance. It has a better audio section, but worse video capabilities. It could be a real contender at $425-$450, but is comical at $600 or whatever they are going for.

With Denon DVD-2500BTCI's selling for under $300, I would be hard-pressed to recommend the 1610 for its current street price of $450.

With updated firmware, powered off eject time decreases from 17 seconds to 13 seconds (Same as 2010).

Denon DVD-3800BDCI Blu-ray Disc DVD/CD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this player a week ago and I am totally blown away, and my TV is only capable of 1080i! (I won't be able to replace my TV until next year.) Two things struck me immediately, aside from the incredible detail, which beats the 1080i broadcasts that I am getting. The first was the colors. They are just dazzling! But it isn't because they're over-saturated or anything like that. It's like I'm seeing a variety of pastels that I've never seen before from my TV. So far I've looked mainly at nature films (like the complete Planet Earth) and I seem to be seeing a wider gamut of colors than I've ever seen before from my TV. I watched a regular DVD on it and the colors are "back to normal". So it is the high definition processing of the Denon that seems to be capturing the richness of the colors.

The second thing I noticed is the quality of the sound. I've never heard such magnificent sound from my system. I thought it sounded great before (and others have remarked how wonderful my system sounds), but there is a noticeable improvement with this Denon, and that improvement is also noticeable on regular DVD's.

This unit has already ruined it for me for watching regular DVD's and 480i broadcasts, and I OWN about 250 DVDs! I used to think that regular DVD's looked pretty good, but it is in reality the difference between night and day. I don't know how I'm going to be able to tolerate regular DVDs anymore. I can't imagine that when I get 1080p next year it is going to make much of an improvement over what I currently have, but I've read that there is a noticeable difference that I'll see that has nothing to do with this particular Denon.

Then there's the manual...sigh... This is a manual seemingly written BY engineers FOR engineers. There are so many undefined acroynms and buzz words that it will make you dizzy. Better have Wikipedia handy, that's all I can say. I looked through the entire manual and could not figure out how to set it up from the default 4:3 aspect ratio at 480i to what I wanted, 16:10 aspect ratio at 1080i (the best my TV will give me). I had to call the dealer and HE had to consult with his tech department! Once he explained it, it was obvious how I'd have to change it the next time I wanted to (if ever -- since the unit automatically upsamples), and then when the excitement was beginning to wear off, I looked through the manual more carefully and saw where it was documented, in the middle of the 30 page or so manual! Something so obvious, so deeply buried, because that's how the engineers that designed this thing thought about it! God help me if there's other things I need to adjust. That's mainly why I paid full price for this thing from a local dealer so I'd be able to get phone help anytime I wanted it. At current prices you don't pay that much more for it now full price anyhow. We'll see where the prices are six months from now.

Fortunately, the above was the only adjustment I had to make. There are tons of things that can be adjusted with this unit, but one thing that appealed to me about it was reports I've read: normally you won't have to adjust anything aside from the aspect ratio and scan rate, as I had to. Default color adjustments, brightness, and contrast are just faultless.

Speaking of the manual, it warns you (relatively up-front) about setting up the 3800 in a confined place. My dealer told me (incorrectly, it turns out)that was nonsense, so I installed it inside my hi fi cabinet, which is closed at the back and has a glass door on the front. Below it was a tuner and a pre-amp, below them was one of those ancient Laser Disk players (that still works -- a Marantz), and below that a truly ancient transistor 105 watt/ch Crown power amplifier (39 years old and going as strong as ever). Anyhow, I played one disk and felt the chasis and it was so hot I could barely touch it so I immediately took it out of its confined space and placed it on an open shelf just above the TV and it has been running at a much more comfortable temperature ever since. So believe the manual! It needs plenty of ventilization. These high frequency electronic devices really burn the calories, just like those old 3 GHz PCs (before the multi-core jobs came out that run at a much cooler 2.4 GHz but still allow you to get tons of work done much faster).

Why did I spend so much for a Blu-ray player? Insanity maybe, but the build quality is far beyond the $500 units and this thing is not about to wear out or deteriorate with age. It also has superb built-in isolation from vibrations and magnetic fields. Even though it is sitting about 6" above my TV, it is completely free from visible noise that might be caused by stray magnetic fields from the TV tube (a 36" CRT Panasonic) and the picture is rock steady. I also noticed in the shop where I auditioned it that other Blu-Ray players take forever to load a disk. This takes about 15 seconds. So you get quite a bit for what you pay for. If you've got the money, spring for it. There's satisfaction in knowing that you've got something that is uncompromising in image, sound, and build quality.

Crosley Radio CR6005A-MA Tech Turntable (Mahogany) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been doing a lot of research and have waited for this to hit amazon so i could get rid of some gift cards. But sadly when it hit my doorstep and i opened it I was surprised in the wrong way. The material and plastic is very cheap and looks and feels cheap.The plastic bends easily on top. Putting on my first vinyl on it I noticed that the turntable wobbled a little but didnt think anything of it. After a while it started to make a grinding noise of plastic on plastic. So i had to take it apart to adjust the belt. This worked for a while but had to do it again. No problems since. The sound is not bad at all and reaches a good volume point. Still could be louder. When hooking up external speakers or output the sound looses quality and has little to no bass. Overall I am disappointed with this product and hopped for a lot more for $80. Because I feel like its worth $40 at most. Just cheap, maybe i should have done more research or gone to good will. Crosley.. you disappointed me.

The mirror face plate, retro wood styling and 1970's-style dust cover adds an element of retro chic to any room in the house. Not that you'll be worried about dï-½cor when chords of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" hum from the turntable's speakers after years of being trapped in a box in the basement.

Sony DVP-S550D DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After hours of research online, I decided to trade in my JVC XV511 DVD player for this one.Of course, I read about the lip-sync issue, but I also found out that Sony has corrected the problem with a firmware update,and models currently at the store already have this update.It was evidentfrom reviews that apart from the lip-sync issue, the player was blowingeveryone away.Now, I have to add my voice to that chorus -- this productis amazing.Though the JVC had a great picture, the Sony's is absolutelystunning.With a component video connection, I see no flicker in fine edgedetail, and the colors are so rich they leap off the screen.Setting upthe 5.1 speaker output was easy, with an intuitive graphical interface. The remote is similarly intuitive, although it took me a few minutes to getused to the navigation button and jog wheel.The player feels solid, discsload very quickly, regular CDs sound excellent, and Sony has packed in adozen small bonuses (like being able to save a favorite frame as theplayer's default display when not playing) -- all of which leaves me verysatisfied, even amazed.With the lip-sync issue now resolved, and unlessyou want to spend twice as much money, you can't do better than thisplayer.

Coby TFDVD7051 7-Inch Portable Tablet Style DVD/CD/MP3 Player, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've owned 3 portable DVD players over the past few years.They tend to last a couple of years and for <$100, used routinely by children, moved about, rattled, run on Car and AC current, that seems acceptable to us.Sure beats having to take the entire car in for service because the DVD player that's built in is acting up ;->

This player is a no-name "Brand" - Coby.We got a Coby DVD player for free with a purchase a year ago and I gave it to my mother-in-law.She watches movies 3-4 nights a week with it and loves it.So, when I saw this tablet version from Coby that had all the features I wanted and was around $100, even though its a no-name brand, I bought it.

Wow, the description did not cover what comes with the player:
- remote w/ batteries
- 2 corded sets of headphones (the player has 2 headphone jacks!)
- AC power
- Car charger power cord
- headrest bag with attachments
- Cassette connector and cords for running audio through the cars audio
- A/V cords

It started right up, played without a hitch, has a nice picture, remote works like a charm, headphones both work and inserting them (in either outlet) cuts off the speakers (plus), easy controls on front, and the case is built to hold the player while revealing all the essential buttons-knobs-controls.

Only downside, so far, is that the cords are a wee but on the short side.

JVC GRD750 MiniDV Camcorder with 34x Optical Zoom Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Camcorder offers high value for those needing a casual use camcorder.I find this light-weight cam is well made, delivering decent quality video, and is easy to operate- with both auto and manual modes.It does suffer from the limitations most, if not all, budget 1/6 CCD .68mp camcorders have.It struggles in low-light (bumping up the exposure and/or adjusting white balance helps), and playback on a high resolution or a big screen monitor with only .68mp isn't always flattering.Playback on more normal size screens (like my 27" set) are fine.Outdoors and in regular lighting situations this camera performs very well.Indoor quality suffers without enough light, and I usually use manual mode to improve things.

From the couple of other posts, there may be quality control issues.I have none and it seems to be well made.There are other sites with almost universally positive personal reviews, so hopefully JVC has addressed any issues.

It only has a firewire (no USB), so PC users must have a firewire port if they want to edit.I use a mac and have no issues using iMovie.

Likes:OIS, 34X zoom, 16x9 or 4x3 modes, battery life (about 2 hours), manual control, size, build quality, price.

Dislikes:No DV cable (does anybody include one?), no software, focus issues with low-light and occasionally at the long end of zooms, sub-par audio.

Overall I find the D750 to be a very predictable camcorder, offering good quality videos at an almost steal of a price.I'd recommend this camcorder to anyone, and think it would be a perfect learning tool for someone getting started, or those who travel frequently (small size) or perhaps have higher loss risks (low price).

Coby TF-DVD7377 7-Inch DivX Compatible Portable DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a gift and since there are no reviews for it, I thought that my review would help those that are thinking of buying this player.
First things first...

1)I PRIMARILY bought this so that I could have a portable DIVX or AVI player.I looked at all the other players and they either cost an arm or a leg or they were too big.
Let me say that it plays AVI/DIVX files without a hitch. I've watched numerous AVI files without a problem, and because this device handles DVD's and AVI files without a hitch, I give it a 5 stars!

2)The screen on this little 7 inch screen is awesome.Very clear and sharp.I bought another COBY tablet player a year ago, but it broke after about a year or use and the picture quality was not that great.This thing is WAYYYY better than that one was.

3)Battery life is pretty good.So far I've had it play non stop for over 2 hours without a problem.

4)Audio is great and also when you hook this thing up to a t.v. with the supplied cables the sound transfer well to the t.v.

Now the Negative....

1)The remote on this thing sucks big time!You have to be super close to the player and you pretty much have to have it pointed straight at it to work right.This is the same remote that they package with their other Coby players, a real piece of junk.

2)This thing is made almost entirely of plastic!The picture looks great and I thought I was buying a metal encased DVD player (the picture looks like a black matte metal case), but be warned, this thing feels cheap!The screen swivels around so that it can fold into a tablet style player and for that it's cool, very compact, but the screen also shakes a bit back and forth (because it swivels) and the latch to keep the screen closed is really a piece of junk.If I was grading on this feature alone I would have to give it a 2.I fear that it'll fall apart if I handle it too roughly.
I just can't get over how cheap this thing feels.

In case your wondering why I scored it so high, even though I trash the build quality. Well, it's because it does what I bought it for so well. If you want a DIVX/AVI player that handles these files without a hitch and you don't want to spend a bundle, then get this player.....just be warned of it's build quality. The build quality seems very crappy but I've only owned it for a couple of days.I will try to remember to update my review in a few months to let you know if this thing is holding up. (If I can figure out how to update my review).
If your wondering if would reccomend this item to you, I would have to say yes, but only for the reasons that I listed above...a great little Divx player! Hope this helps any potential buyers.

Operations:No fan noise, no noise while playing, but during menu & loading, you hear some track-seeking which is audible at 10'... nothing offensive, though.I just noticed last night, after my 5th blu-ray a little flicker in in the bottom center of the screen during the credits of Juno... not sure if it's a bad disc or a player having a problem.It was repeatable, and the disc seemed clean.Lastly, the load time, eject time, etc seems just fine.Not instant or as fast a nice DVD player, but not noticably slow.I've heard alot about slow disc-loading, and if it is a problem on other players - it's not a problem on this one.Lastly, sometimes when you click on a menu instead of pausing, the screen with show a "progress-bar" for 2-4 seconds while the next manu loads, which isn't completely kosher, but doesn't bother me.

The so-so stuff:I'm giving this 5-stars because it's near-perfect at what it's designed to do for it's price, but it's not perfect.One reason to get a mid- to lower-cost player is to (duh) save money... if you're someone who has an older receiver that doesn't decode the two new DD and DTS formats, and (probably) doesn't decode multi-channel PCM, this player isn't for you.It only has stereo-out analog RCA plugs, not 5.1 or 7.1 analog outputs.

That means you can't bypass your receivers pre-amp to play the newer audio formats and let the blu-ray player decode them.My old Receiver (which I used the player with for a week) only decoded DD 5.1 (no DTS, and only 2-channel PCM to 48khz).This player lets you send a PCM stream to your receiver from an internally decoded DTS 5.1 signal, but this didn't work for me... as my player can't receive 5.1 PCM streams, it only saw it as 2-channel.At least the player lets you downsample 96khz PCM to 48khz, so that I at least got sound (Golden Compass only has DTS 5.1 or DTS HD Master).

With my new receiver, all formats work perfectly, all bitstreamed.

Some people perhaps are holding off for new receivers because they don't want to connect through the player's analog RCA 5.1/7.1 connectors - but this is probably mis-information.What you want to avoid is taking digital sound, converting it to analog, then back to digital, then back to analog...don't worry - you wouldn't be doing this.Basically you would be doing all your processing in the player digitally, then once it is sent out through the pre-outs to the receiver you'd bypass the receiver's processing and it would go straight to the amplifier (which is of course analog anyway).

So my conclusion for thos people with older (but good) receivers - this blu-ray player won't save you any money.The best savings would be to pay a little more for a player with 5.1 analog outputs and continue to use your existing receiver.

Sony BDP-S5000ES Blu-ray Disc Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This player is the promise of Bluray fully delivered. As before, video is spectacular. Audio is spectacular in every codec as well. DTS master audio (not included in previous sony products except PS3)and Dolby HD are fantastic. The internal decoding and full bandwith 7.1 PCM output is a great plus for all of us that have audiophile equipment that does not include internal decoders for the new formats. This also ensures that users of HDMI version 1.1 equipment don't have to fret about having 1.3 compliant equipment to enjoy the rewards of completely uncompressed 7.1 surround. Works beautifully with my Rotel 1069 preamp through HDMI. However, best of all, the player is finally fast. For those that have owned previous generation bluray players the most annoying thing about the technology was the patience testing load times. That was the bad old days, welcome to the good days, plop in the disc and go. In my expirience, even with the fast load feature set to off it is at least twice as fast (if not faster) as my departed BDPS2000ES. The menus and additional features work seamlessly and instantly, no more "processing time" hastle. I'm using it with an Elite pro110 plasma and can attest that its video fidelity is reference quality, it simply doesn't get better than this, for any price. Build quality is impressive, the player feels like its built from a ton of bricks and its completely silent in operation, the fan is inaudible (at least I have never heard it). The internet connection is excellent, just plug and go. In fact, this player has essentially zero negatives from any performance standpoint, NONE. Its not a particularly attractive piece of gear, simply a box with a tray in the front, but that is fine. Which, of course, leads to the only negative, its price. For those that want the very best in videophile equipment, the price is justified simply because its performance is, for the time being, second to none in all parameters, better yet, it demonstrates that the technology has finally reached fruition. This player is the first evidence that bluray is now a mature technology with no performance or functional compromises. Hopefully all its funtional advantages will trickle down to more affordable players soon. BTW, anyone that dismisses this player as an expensive alternative to a PS3, has not used it, or at least has not used with gear that will plainly show the significant differences in audio and video performance. Very highly recommended.
One more thing...... The picture of the player is inaccurate that is the BDPS2000ES, Cheers!

LG DN898 1080p Upconverting DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The LG DN898 is a very good player with a lot of great features: it does a good job of upscaling DVDs, it can output at a full 1080p, it supports playback of.mpeg, .avi (xvid/divx) and .srt files, and it can read from most recordable DVD formats as well as from USB. For the most part I have had a very good experience with this player and I would have rated it better if I had not discovered one glaring flaw. The LG DN898 is incapable of displaying 4:3 content in a pillarbox on a 16:9 screen. A pillarbox is the widescreen TV equivalent of a letterbox, the two black bars that appear on the top and bottom of a regular TV screen when playing a movie recorded in widescreen (16:9) format, only on a widescreen TV these bars appear as two black pillars on the left and right sides of the screen when playing fullscreen (4:3) content. This means that any video recorded in a 4:3 aspect ratio will be automatically stretched to fill the screen on a widescreen TV. If you prefer to have your video stretched to fit the screen then this shouldn't be a problem to you, in which case this player might be a good choice. However, if you prefer to watch video in its original aspect ratio then this is not the player for you. I have used other upconverting DVD players that let you choose whether or not you want to stretch the video. Considering the price of this player I am a bit disappointed that the LG DN898 does not offer this option.
