Trouble with Reading Instructions etc

Today I received this COBY portable DVD player. It is probably a good player of dvds; however I will never know; the INSTRUCTIONS Manual and all other material is printed in TINY PRINT. I cannot read the instructions to set up the player. [Like almost every other material sent out today the tiny size for printing is everywhere.] I expect I will have to return the dvd player because of this cheap printing system. YES, a small booklet is so much cheaper than a normal sized booklet! [The printing is around 4-point instead of the much larger 12-point normally printed.]

Broke After 2 Years of Light Usage

We purchased this DVD player for our son to use when we travel. It worked fine for about 2 years and just suddenly stopped reading discs. It has not been mistreated or used excessively, so there is no explanation for the malfunction. We will either repair it (if cost-effective) or, more likely, look for something else that will last a reasonable amount of time.

I Bought Two - and they BOTH came with dead batteries

Purchased two in August 2005. The manufacture date label reads Feb 2005, so they're reasonably new. The batteries won't take a charge. Both are dead as doornails right out of the box. This jibes with my (after the fact) product research that shows common battery failures. I bought them on impulse, on sale, at a big-box retailer At Which I Aim to shop a lot. I will be returning them next trip there.
