Q: It is the Coby TF-DVD7050, 7" portable tablet style dvd player. If I put it on pause or prestop for more than a minute, then I won't have enough battery life to watch a whole movie.

A: just a FYI Coby isn't the best brand. Also, Depending on how long you have had it. Its either came defective or the battery is just bad. Call Coby if they have a number and see what they can do for you.

This is not a very good player, the battery will last only around 2hrs per charge. You may need to buy an extra rechargeable battery for your player.

Can I connect Coby portable DVD player with TV? I know that portable DVD has it's own small screen. I just want to view movie on TV rather than on the small Screen...


A: connect to the video input (you know the yellow wire) to the tv

Which of these is the better brand for a portable DVD player? COBY, Audiovox, GPX or Mintek?

I wanna buy a portable DVD player for our minivan and I have a choice of the brands I mentioned above. I've heard of COBY and Audiovox before but never heard of the last 2. Can anyone recommend the best of these 4 choices? They all cost about the same.


A: Funny you should ask...I travel for a living and have personally owned one of each...no, seriously. I have had nothing but problems with the GPX and the Mintek, but the Audiovox has always ran flawlessly. COBY...not bad but had a slight problem with it reading some of my kids DVD's. I have no idea of why just my kids DVD's and not mine, but that is my answer. Go with the Audiovox...Half the price of the Sony , Toshiba, and Panasonic ones...and just as good.

I have a coby portable dvd player stuck in stand by mode. Will not power on. Unplugged still does not work?
