3 out of 5 stars Slightly Disappointed.......2007-03-20

I had purchased a similar coby mp3 player in the store and a friend of mine liked it so much I purchased one for her.I tried and tried to get the exact same one - I thought that this was it - well its not .. no where near it. This one has a very annoying font on it that is almost something I would expect to give a child,it has very limited graphics and is a little hard to maneuver. Ok deal for the price but to me I will spend a little more next time and make sure I get a gift worth giving.

2 out of 5 stars Beware of looks!.......2007-02-28

I had no trouble downloading songs onto it, although I understand there's no rhyme or reason as to what order they're in. The problem I had was with the video part of it - it is advertized on the package that you can download videos - forget that - I have one manual for my model, the company has a different manual for the same model, and the company's website troubleshooter recomments something different. The only advantaga this has over som others is that it has a spot on it so you can hang it around your neck.

2 out of 5 stars Awfull.......2007-01-09

It is still working after six months, but I thought not.
Not possible to put the songs in order or inside directories. All songs have to be accomodated as they are entered.
The software is not good, is a bad quality building.
To see a video you need a special conversion, with a bad software.
Not recommendable. Instead of it, Creative has MP3 and video of high quality.


1 out of 5 stars beware Amazon electronics.......2007-01-04

We bought this player for our daughter for Christmas. It's not easy to set up. It's not easy to download songs onto. You can't organize your songs (except by using numbers in your naming schema). Our new computer would not read the software disk that was included. The function keys are not at all intuitive -- and took several tries to operate, as desired. There was no way we thought our pre-teen daughter would be able to manage it on her own. We ended up getting a similarly priced RCA model which works and sounds great and is easy to use. When I tried to return the Coby one to Amazon, I was told that because it had been opened they would only offer a partial refund (even though it was cleaned off and in mint condition). I would not only beware of the Coby mp3 player, but I would beware of buying any electronic from Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars I like it for the most part.......2006-12-18

I bought this item about 6 months ago to use while I was exercising at the gym. It fits nice and flat in an armband, which was a plus from my last MP3 player. The music quality is actually quite good and this little gadget has a ton of functions. I don't use most of them as I bought it just for the music capabilities. The only thing that I don't care for is that although you can see the playlist of songs, you can't catagorize them, like you can on some players. It's easy to forward to another song, the volume and all functions are easy to get to. The display screen is very colorful. The only real drawback on this is you need a USB port to charge it. I like the idea of being able to go anywhere and not have to depend on USB charging. If you're going to use this for a couple hours or so, charging via USB is fine, but if you plan on using it for several hours you'd better be close to a computer if you want to listen to it any longer than say 4 - 5 hours. (Might last a little longer than that on a charge, but I have not had to listen to it any longer than 5 hours at one time) Overall it's a nice product for the price and it would be a great first MP3 player for the person who's never had one before.

    MP3 PLAYERS WITH FLASH MEMORY 512M FM COLOR SD SLOT

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but loaded with features, the Coby MP-C654 MP3 player lets you listen to your favorite tunes on the bus, at the park, and just about anywhere else. The device measures a mere 1.84 by 2.76 by 0.55 inches (W x H x D), with an attractive pendant-style body that's easy to carry. More significantly, the MP-C654 offers 512 MB of flash memory, so you can store roughly 8 hours of MP3 music or 16 hours of WMA music--more than enough for a marathon training run or a cross-country flight. And should that prove insufficient, the MP3 player also includes an SD/MMC card slot for easy memory upgrades (card sold separately). Simply slide a 1 GB card into the slot and you can enjoy an additional 16 hours of MP3 music without erasing the original content. The MP-C654 even offers mobile data storage capability, letting you transport business documents across the country or store overflow JPEGs from a digital camera.

    Another nice add-on is the full-color LCD display, which displays JPEG photo images while also making it easy to navigate through the audio player's contents. And as with the best MP3 players, the MP-C654 offers a number of handy extras, such as easy-to-use thumb navigation, a built-in FM radio and recorder, support for Windows Media DRM-10 online subscription services, an integrated microphone for digital voice recording, ID3 and LRC support for song and synchronized lyric information display, and a high-speed USB 2.0 interface (up to 40x faster than USB 1.0). The MP-C654, which runs on a single AAA battery (included), works with Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP and Mac OS X operating systems and carries a 90-day warranty.

          Amazon.com Product Description

          Panasonic's DVD-RP56 DVD player uses 54 MHz 10-bit video digital-to-audio converters that process the video signal four times faster than the original 13.5 MHz rate. Combined with the DVD-RP56's progressive-scan output, the result is vivid, texturized image reproduction from your DVD discs. Additional video features include color, brightness, contrast and sharpness picture controls, as well as video black level control for dynamic color contrast. A component-video output is also included for optimal connection to compatible TVs.

          High-speed, five-step smooth-motion scan lets you scan forward or reverse in five speeds, up to 100 times faster than the normal playback rate. Or use frame advance to move ahead just one frame at a time for a detailed look at the program. Enhanced video features include cinema mode, which improves the visibility of details in dark scenes and gives a more cinema-like luminance and color to the picture.

Or if you have just two speakers, the V.S.S. mode will simulate five-channel surround sound.

          Convenient features include disc stabilizer, which increases playability while reducing the chances of warping discs, chapter preview, onscreen menu icons, and a remote control with large cursor for simple menu navigation.

          Purchased RP56 about 3 years ago for $120. It has operated w/o issue until today. Got the H02 error like everyone else. The player was subjected to moderate use (2 DVDs per week average)so, I was expecting it to run a few more years. I will avoid Panasonic DVD players. I think LG is their parent company, so I will be cautious with that brand as well.

          Panasonic - what a junk!. Don't touch with a 30 ft pole unless you want to pay more to repair stupid "H02" error than the cost of Panasonic. Stay away from Panasonic.

          3 out of 5 stars Fine at first,, but now having issues.......2005-01-06

          I recieved this DVD player in 12/2001 for a Christmas Gift. Everything has been mostly great up until 2 months ago. It was spectacular at playing DVDs and I also loved the MP3 playback capability and standard CD playback. For some reason, the player is now unable to play MP3 discs or standard CDs. It will play one or two songs and then seemingly get "hung up" at random places on the discs. Inserting a DVD cleaning disc into the unit resulted in an "HO5" error message, and these "HO" errors seem to be quite common here. While it will still play DVDs fine, I'm wondering if they are next on the list of non-playable items.
          This player lasted just shy of 3 years. I'm thinking of getting the Panasonic 5 CD/DVD changer unit with extended warranty. I think Panasonic relies on the guy or gal that plays CDs and DVDs only a few times a year, rather than someone like me who will play 5-10 a week, depending. Overall I'm happy, as the sound and picture are great, but would recommended getting extended service on these Panasonic items.

          2 out of 5 stars Same experience: mine broke after 2 yrs.......2004-04-07

          The picture quality is excellent for its price class, and I liked the way fast-slow foward/reverse works. However, after 2 yrs mine died. It would not eject the DVD. I would hear a rattling noise from the motor when I powered on the player, but the tray wouldn't budge. I couldn't pull the tray out, it froze in position. I had to open the player to retreive the DVD.

          My next DVD player will be non-Panasonic. I used to be a huge fan of Panasonic, but not anymore. A DVD player should last at least 5 years.

          1 out of 5 stars DVD RP56 H02 ERROR.......2004-02-16

          WITH LITTLE USE THIS UNIT WENT FROM PAUSE MODE TO STOP AND THEN BEGAN TO DISPLAY AN H02 ERROR WHENEVER A NEW DISC IS INSERTED.

          VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH RESPONSE FROM PANASONIC.

          WILL HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER BRAND...
