This does a nice job on the upconversion. Looks and sounds good using the HDMI output. Plays just about anything you throw at it as do most Coby's. Surprisingly will also do DTS sound although it doesn't specifically mention it in the spec's. Only question is how will it hold up in the long run.

My first player was faulty and had to be returned. Note their return policy meant I had to pay the shipping costs to send back their faulty product!! Not happy about that since it didn't work in the first place!!
I heard nothing from them. After a week I called to discover they had not processed my return. My phone call did prompt a response, but even then I had to wait another week before I got a player which this time worked. They did not tell me they had a problem getting me a replacement, so player excellent.... Customer service I regard as poor since I had to chase them to get any action.
I doubt I will purchase from them again.

I own this for the last 60 days. When I recently went to India, I bought some regional language movies that were in PAL. So I bought this thinking that for the price of ~$55 I get the one that can play PAL/NTSC, MP3/WMV/DivX. On top of that it is a region free player as well as has a HDMI interface. However 2 months later this is what sums up my experience:
1. I could watch all of PAL DVDs. Watched some of the DivX movies. Felt great about the player. However the remote was not that reliable. I had to press hard/twice some times. That didn't bother me as I started using my universal remote(came with my pioneer plasma TV).
2. After 5-6 days, DVD player doesn't respond to remote/keys. Even the power button doesn't work. I have to remove the power from my extension cord. I still have this problem at least once in 2 weeks.
3. After a while I realized the it is not upconverting to 1080i/p. Though they don't advertise it (Coby says unconversion of 5.1ch audio only), I didn't realize that earlier.
4. After 5 weeks I'm getting tired of this as I finished watching most of the movies I brought from India. Video is freezing once in a while, taking looong time to load etc.
5. After 8 weeks I decided to listen to some mp3 cds on Coby. Took too much time to load the mp3 to CDs. However it played all of them. Wait.. not for the entire day!! By evening COBY is almost dead!! No matter what cd/DVD I put in, it's always on "Loading" state!
May be its my bad luck of getting a faulty one. May be not! May be!!
