I can't believe how well this little thing has performed. This has been a fantastic purchase for our family and is doing an excellent job of curbing the melt-downs of our two-year old. This player rocks!!
Pros: The compact size of this player is a definite plus. The favorite feature of mine is that it will play solid state devices, like SD cards and usb flash drives. I have shrunk several movies down to fit on 2gb cards so that our daughter can watch. My last player failed after just a few months of use, the only thing wrong with it was the dvd player wouldn't recognize the disks any longer. Now I don't have to worry about that. As long as those little chips are working inside, my daughter will have something to watch, and my wife will have a more peaceful drive.
Cons: The power cord is located on the bottom of the player. My daughter likes to use her foot to bring the cord to her hand and then yank the plug out. I think that a 90 degree plug would have been good here so consumers could more easily direct the cabling away.
The screen likes to show nothing but white if there is not enough battery charge. So, I have removed the battery, since I only use it in the car, and that has eliminated the battery problem. I have tested the battery and you can easily get a 2 hour movie in.
Last con. I did have some problems finding software that could be used to shrink my videos down to the size to fit on the 2gb SD cards I purchased with this unit. However, there is freeware out there that can be used to do this. It may take a little time, but imagine having your movie on a disk that you throw in your pocket and have no fear of scrathing it!
The thing feels cheap and very plastic like, but seriously, how rugged does thing need to be? Now that the need for moving parts, by using SD cards or USB flash drives, has been eliminated, this thing should last for a good long time.
Lastly, the elimination of the need for DVD disks was a huge selling point for me. I have been looking for a media player for quite some time that would free me of those hated disks. I can't stand skipping when I'm listening to my little girl's movies. I know if we kept better care of them, and all that. But the SD card is durable and easy to use, it is a creative answer that allows me to use this player with little fear of problems.
GREAT PLAYER!
Addendum: 6/6/2008
We have owned this little item for some time now. While my overall satisfaction with it has been good, I would like to downgrade my initial rating. This player is great, but it overheats easily. We use it primarily in the car and the harness they provide doesn't allow for any air flow across the bottom of the unit. After weeks of troubleshooting, I believe that the problem (not being to properly initiallize and going to a white screen of death) is due in large part to this reason. We use the SD cards primarily, because the kids can't scratch them, but even so, the player overheats. So after a simple trip to the mall and a short shopping excursion, the player, if hot, will not function properly at first attempt and often not after the second, or the third, etc.... I have allowed it to cool off and it functions perfectly again. Our solution will be to take the player out of the vehicle and take it with us. Better to have the nuisance of carrying this around than the crazy antics of a two year old!
Awesome DVD Player January 27, 2008

This machine has good quality. I like the screen. It has good sound. I enjoy watching movies on it. It does not have a connection for a second pair of headphones, but that was easily remedied by purchasing a "splitter."
A great deal for the price.
Well worth the money March 1, 2008

I have been looking for something to replace the unit the kids have been using. We got tired of the fights over which DVD to play so we went looking for separate units that wouldn't empty the wallet. The main features we wanted were: Tablet style(or flip into one), SD or USB card support, DIVX support and IR heaphones. Well, this unit delivered all of it except the IR headphones.
When we received the unit I immediately put in an SD card from my phone. The music on it began playing instantly. Good start. Next loaded up some XVID movies I had ripped and they played perfectly. Finally plugged in my Archos 605 (80gb) player and it actually read the directory but took about 2 minutes. I could select a movie to play but it locked up. I had heard there are problems with large USB hard drives so it may be true. Minor problem since I wouldn't give my kids the 605 anyway.
The headrest bra works great and the speakers are way better than expected. It does feel cheap like others have noted but it seems to work great. My son will give it the true endurance test.
So we ordered another and now have 2 units with separate DVD players, SD cards loaded with movies and music for each child and headphones. That's it. All for about $300 which is a bargain for this much value. If I get 2 years out of each unit I'll be happy and would probably go buy another one.
Now if only we can get rid of the wired headphones. Hope this helps.

I bought three of these players for our triplets 5th birthday. I picked the DVD7377 model because it was cheap (especially important X 3!) and it could play Divx from an SD or USB source. My triplets have a tendancy to scratch up their DVDs, so this was a big deal to me. I needed a replacement for the DVD player in the van, which they broke. This way I could stop listening to the arguments over what DVD they were going to play if everyone had their own unit.
My wife and I did a lot of research before buying this unit. We have generally had better survival rates out of Sony products for DVDs, but Sony does not make a unit that can play Divx, and they blew our birthday money budget anyway.
I have to admit it took A LOT of playing around to get a movie converted into a format this thing was happy with. This is not as straight forward as putting a movie on an Ipod. I will now let you in on a big secret: Convert to a specialized AVI size of 480X240, or as close to that as you can get. That is the pixel size of the screen, and custom AVIs in this size look great! There are several free converters on the web that can do this successfully for you, but the one I found that worked best for me is Any Video Converter version 2.7.5 from MPlayer. Most of my videos are in IPod format of M4V or MP4, with a few WMVs, and this converted everything to a custom 480X272 AVI file in one batch process, and the results are as good as a DVD on this player.
I figure that inside of 2 months at least one (or all) of the players will have taken one drop or hit to many and have their laser so far out of alignment they will not play a DVD (assuming the DVDs last that long). At this point I have my SD cards as a fallback.
One last caution - this will only use standard SD cards, meaining 2GB is the largest card you can get. Not the end of the world, at least they are dirt cheap. I have been using a 16gb USB stick with no problem, but I am hesitant to use the USB stick with the kids. I am prety sure they will snap it off in the unit since it sticks out the side.
I was a litte worried about my kids figuring out how to use the unit by themselves, but I need not have worried. Kids these days pick up electronics by osmosis. We also have two older teenagers with various IPods. They are jealos of these Coby's and want one now for themselves to use on the bus with band trips.
This unit is not an IPod buster, but it does get the job done cheaply and with a decent sized picture.
