This is a significant flaw as it does not allow you to easily load a DVD when vehicle mounted. Overall design is especially well suited for vehicle mounting and allows the player to sit flat against the back of the headrest. Compact slim design. 2. The picture is clear and easy to see. The mechanism requires that you remove it from the holder, open it up, put in the DVD, close it then re-insert it into the holder.
This keeps it from being kicked or jostled if you have a toddler in a car seat. I recently received my Coby player and found some things that were not very well thought out in the overall design. Here are the Pro's and cons that I found.Cons: 1. Good picture quality.
1. This becomes more inconvenient when you are sliding the player in or out of the holder.Pros. Sound control easy to use. The fold out one I had was prone to being kicked by my 3 year old.Overall the player is a good buy for the money but I couldn't rate it higher as the two design flaws are significant in detracting from its ease of use.
3. Manual AV/DVD switch. Spinning wheel sound control is easy to adjust. DVD load mechanism.
2. The manufacturer should have gone with an electronic switch vice a manual switch as it is not easy to ensure you have the DVD mode since it is in the center of the selection slide and there is no audible or 'feelable' indication that you have it in the correct position. Very poor design that is a royal pain to change DVDs if the car is moving. On the left side of the unit is the sliding switch which turns on the player to one of two modes, DVD or AV.
It was so loud when playing a disc, you could hear it making a loud buzzing sound while the disc was spinning. Product arrived quickly and in good condition. I sent it back right away and Amazon quickly refunded my money. The headphones also had terrible interference and we couldn't use them in the car using the FM tuner which was why I purchased this item. The mounting bag was great and I really like the appearance of the whole thing. The problems was with the DVD player.
They just picked up outside radio stations. Also the headphones work well where I live, but if you are in a larger city they can be overpowered by other radio stations. I just returned from DC/NYC and the headphones did not work at all there. So far we love the DVD player it works great. Over all, great DVD player for the money. I was a little disappointment when I found out that the DVD dosen't slide in, you have to take the player out of its case to change movies. It plays movies well and the screen looks great. I was under the impression that it loaded from the side.
Confirmed - FM TX has barely 6'distance; the audio has raspy highs. My purposes for the 7060 is to play MP3 CD music via my FM radio in my 2002 SUV. I ordered it taking a risk making the assumption that Coby 7060 would have common-sense controls. The BIG BLUNDER of the 7060 as a CD/MP3 music player is there are >>>NO
No super bass or enhanced audio modes. The controls are NOT back-lite for night vehicle or in-the-dark use. There are NO controls for R/L audio balance or bass/treble. No MSDS label on the battery for proper disposal.
Answers to my questions have now been discovered: FM TX only has four preset frequencies 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7; if you have a near strong station you will get interference. What is alarming is only 300 recharges before degradation can be expected. I want to play my home made CD's that give me +10hrs of my music. Still unknown what the battery is; Lithium or NiCad.
Plus the head phones run off the same FM TX (not IR as implied) so you get loud ear pops with near strong station interference. I now know why Colby never respond to my web site queries and why they do not have the 7060 listed on their web site. They should have added four 107 MHz frequencies if they insisted on presets.
I PAID TO SEND IT TO COBY AND THEY CHARGE $18 FOR RETURN POSTAGE. I MENTIONED THAT WARRANTY REPLACEMENT SHOULD EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE (WOULD YOU WANT A 25" TV IF YOUR 46' WAS SENT IN FOR REPAIR) THEY STATED THAT THIS IS THIER POLICY.
THEY ARE ALSO JUNK AND THE COMPANY SUCKS. COBY PRODUCTS ARE CHEAP YES.
UNIT WAS OK WHEN IT WORKED --ABOUT TWO MONTHS. THEY SENT A LESSER MODEL 7050 - WOULD NOT SEND EQUAL MODEL UNLESS I PAID TO RETURN IT.
SONY IS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER IN TERMS OF QUALITY AND SERVICE RETURNED UNDER WARRANTY.
NO PROBLEM UNTIL.
