User Comments about the Coby DVD-R1280 5.1 Channel DVD Recorder with 80 GB HDD & Progressive Scan

The item came very fast set up is somewhat hard but it works great and no complaints.I would like to get a 2 year extended waranty.Please advice. Thanks



We have family videos from 26 years ago & are in the process of copying them to DVD's. The set up was easy & so far everything is working great with no problems. This DVD recorder is awesome. It has some neat features so that you can enter titles for your DVD's & label them, etc.



While on the phone the picture finally came on. Dvds looked great on it until it froze. Froze while playing from the hard drive. When I first turned it on it would power up, but wouldn't do anything. Coby customer service tried to tell me it was because I used the component out instead of the av cables from the box. I sent it back.



Once I became accustomed to the limitations of this machine, I was actually happy with it. However, about 90 days after purchasing the recorder, which comes with a 90 day warranty, the DVD drive completely died. The rest of the machine still works, but what am it's not worth much any more. I purchased this in December 2006. I wasn't thrilled with how all of the features worked, but it did do everything as advertised. I guess I should have bought a better brand name with a longer warranty.



The unit remembers nothing so you have to keep track of where you are in a program that isn't fully viewed in one sitting. Frequently used functions are buried so that several entries are needed to program, play, fast forward and what have you. The controller is of poor quality and I fear won't last long. The unit works fine and offers a wide range of capability, good capacity and accepts lots of different inputs. The user interface and controls are very poorly done. Otherwise, seems a fine unit but the poor interface would have prevented me from buying it if I had known of it in advance.
