The DVD-R1000 records on DVD+R (write-once) and DVD+RW (rewritable) media. DVD+RW discs require no finalizing--you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers total recording time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats.
As a player, the DVD-R1000 offers compatibility with NTSC or PAL sources (with appropriate media and monitoring), MP3 CD playback for your homemade music mixes (be aware, though: there's no ID3 tag recognition for artist and title information display), and even progressive-scan component-video outputs for a seamless, flicker-free image on high-definition and HD-ready TVs.
Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.
An onscreen display simplifies player/recorder setup and operation, and the unit's full-function remote control uses glow-in-the-dark buttons for hassle-free operation in darkened living rooms and bedrooms.

DVD player/recorder, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, and 2 stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cables.

Customer Reviews of Coby DVD-R1000 DVD Recorder/Player (Silver)
No more Coby for me I live in Key West, FL so rarely make the 3hr drive to miami. I was up there at BrandSmartUSA and saw the Coby DVD R1100 (new version of the R1000) for $148 new. I had wanted one for some time so thought this was my chance. I got it home and got all hooked up, ready to see what recording quality was like....but never got that far since the DVD tray won't open! I tried resetting, turning off power, etc. I looked on their website for suggestions but nothing. I am not contacting customer service since they have inconvenient hours Mon-Fri only. I have to head back up to miami tomorrow so not passing up the chance to return it to miami so I can wait to talk to a tech next Mon that's going to want me to return it anyway.
Absolutely terrible
I found this in a discount store in NYC and since it was cheap so I bought it. After a day I returned it and got a good refund, because if I had it longer I'd have thrown it out of the window or burned it on my stove.
(Background: for those not in the know, Coby is a small Korean company that peddles low-quality electronics. They are known for low cost and, surprise!, low quality.)
The DVD recorder was supposed to let you burn video source materials onto DVD blanks, but as much as I tried I couldn't get it to work. About 30 seconds after I pressed Record it would give this vibrating noise and then eventually I had to unplug it. The exterior of the recorder also does not inspire confidence at all: one of the buttons on the front didn't quite work.
Seriously, save yourself the money and buy something that works, like the popular Panasonic DMR-E55S or DMR-E55K. The Coby isn't worth the frustrations even if it were given away for free.
Coby DVDR1000
I am an Electrical Engineer with some experience with electronic consumer products, and I have even repaired many of them. This is the only DVD recorder that I have owned.
The price was very low and was an incentive to try it. I took the first unit back to the store when it failed to read most of my prerecorded DVDs. The second unit worked better, but was still having trouble some of the time. After playing around a little, the unit began to work quite well, for some unknown reason.
I have noticed in the month that I have owned the product that it can be quite temperamental, but more often than not, works pretty well. I believe that there are firmware (internal software) bugs in the product.
I initially bought some low cost +RW disks before I read the manual. They wouldn't record! I then got some Memorex disks which were recommended in the manual, and things got better.
To make a long story short, I've learned to live with a very temperamental product because of the low cost. For example, when recording movies with the timer, they often don't come out, at first. My next step now, is to record an additional short segment after the movie and, "BOOM", the disk now works properly with the original recording. I can erase the additional recording with no problem.
The manual has excellent English, but is missing a lot of key information. For example, it tells you how to format a DVD, but there is no explanation as to why, or when, you might want to do that. There are still some set-up functions where I haven't a clue as to what they do. Again the manual says nothing!
The quality of the recording is very good as most other reviewers have stated. The DVDs also play OK on another playback machine that I have. There are some internal adjustments, I would have to say, however, are not set correctly - the black level, for instance, but they are not too far off. And I agree with the other reviews that the TV tuner is poor.
This is a simple, basic, machine that lacks a lot of features that could be nice (editing functions, for example). But the simplicity means less complexity for the average user and could be viewed as a benefit.
In conclusion, if you are willing to fiddle with some of the temperamental nature of this machine, it may be worth the low cost. However, I would think that someone with little patience won't like this machine. A lot more money is probably in order for that person!
