Coby DVD-277 Superslim DVD Player with Divx, SD Card Slot & Progressive Scan

The item seems to be a great value for what it does and you cannot complain. However, value and quality are two different things. We hooked the unit up, watched one DIVX movie, and BLAM...no power. DEAD.

I know I am probably one out of a 100 that got a lemon, but it was a lemon indeed...and I am kind of disappointed.

I am giving it 3 stars because it is a GREAT value.....but could have been better packaged....

I am sure my disappointment is rare....

Both the SD and USB slots work on my unit. The only problem is that it is a bit difficult to navigate folders on USB or flash media.

plays USB, PLAYS SD, USE IT AS MY MAIN player and it hasn't missed a beat

Makes it easier to view downloaded movies in DATA format, so you dont have to waste time with burning 1 movie to a dvd which can take hours of processing time.

Would love to find a player with all these features that works 100%. We sent back our first one because the USB port didn't work. Got the replacement and the SD card reader didn't work. I thought, third time's the charm, right? Sent it back indicated I wanted to exchange it for another, and Amazon wrote back that they hadn't anticipated so many problems with this model, and they were refunding my money instead of sending a replacement. I see as of this writing it is still for sale and there are 5 left in stock.

You MAY still want to get this, though -- you could get lucky and get one that works, and even if it doesn't work, Amazon is absolutely GREAT about returns (they even give you a postage-paid return label to print out and stick on the shipping box that you hopefully didn't throw out) and you'll get your money back.
