Good Under the counter TV for the price
I purchased this unit to replace another undercounter TV,DVD,CD and computer ("Icebox")console which was very expensive. That unit broke down within two years. So, in looking for a replacement I didn't want to spend too much but I wanted a lot of features. After reading many reviews I bought this unit without expecting too much. But to my surprise it does a great job for the price. It's made out of light weight plastic, but it seems sturdy enough. My only two problems are that the screws they give you for the installation under the cabinet are too short. (having read other reviews that complain about the same thing, you would think the company would have fixed that by now.) The other downside is the speakers are weak and don't produce very good sound clarity. But for our purposes it was just fine. The picture quality is good and the unit itself is relatively easy to set up. I would recommend this product, it is a good under the cabinet unit for a relatively inexpensive price.

Coby Under the Counter 10.2-inch TV
This small, under the counter TV is just fine for the purpose--a small TV that can fit in the kitchen and provide a bit of news or entertainment while doing chores or cooking. It was relatively easy to install, though we did need to get longer screws as several other reviewers noted. And you have to get used to pushing the "mode" button every time you want to go from radio to TV to DVD. Note that the DVD drawer only works when in DVD mode, which may have been the problem some reviewers mentioned about getting the DVD to work. This does not have the quality that a large screen TV with better speakers would have, but it suits its purpose quite nicely. And it should be hooked up to cable to avoid a somewhat fuzzy picture.

Great DVD Player and Radio/CD player for the money
I wanted a music CD player for kitchen under the cabinet that could play mp3 CDs since I have a large collection of mp3 songs. But most players only have Radio and CD capabilities but no mp3. I found this one that can play mp3 CDs. I didn't care for the TV but bought it anyways. I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't hooked it as a TV but use it as a DVD Player. The screen is bright and great. the resolution is also very good. Though the volume is not all that great. The audio speakers and volume could have been much better. The remote control is OK. I would have liked it of a better build quality but it works.
mp3 capabilities:
It played all the CDs that I had but does not have a random play capability. I couldn't figure out yet if it has a playlist capability either. I doubt it does. The sound quality is just OK. Not rich. The subtle tones are often lost but I couldn't care that much in the kitchen. I just wish that the volume was higher.
DVD features:
It does not remember the place where we last left the DVD when you switch off the unit. When the player is switched on, it always starts the music CD or the DVD at the beginning. I hate this. It does remember whether we were listening to radio or watchding the DVD.
User Interface:
Is not all that great. The clock is available only if the unit is turned on in radio/dvd mode. Not all the time as a kitchen clock. And it shows seconds. That is surprising for kitchen usage and confuses us. The display is really small and absolutely basic. Only clock and one other symbol.
Radio:
Plays pretty well. I did connect the FM antenna but not the AM antenna since I don't listen to AM radio stations. The seek feature doesn't work very well. I had to spend a few minutes to find the stations that I like and store their frequencies.
Installation:
I installed the unit in the kitchen myself. The unit came with a mounting guide that helped. I had to buy longer screws and get spacers since the screws that came with the unit were not long enough because of the way our kitchen cabinets are. It didn't take too long though. Contact me if you need any help or have questions.

COBY SUPPORT "VERY QUESTIONABLE"
I BOUGHT THE "KTF-DVD 1093" UNDER THE COUNTER TV. WHEN NOT IN USE, THE TIME DOES NOT APPEAR, ONLY"----------". I'VE TRIED TO CALL THE 800# MANY,MANY TIMES ONLY TO GET THE FOLLOWING: ALL AGENTS ARE BUSY PLEASE HOLD. AFTER 5 OR SO MINS. A RECORDING STATES THAT YOU ARE 15TH IN QUE AND WAIT TIME IS APPROX.15MINS. AFTER HOLDING SOME MORE, THE RECORDING TELLS YOU THAT YOU ARE 11TH IN QUE AND WAIT TIME. THEN IT TELLS YOU ARE 4TH IN QUE AND WAIT TIME. THEN THE RECORDING TELLS YOU ALL AGENTS ARE BUSY AND CALL BACK. I'VE DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES,GETTING DOWN TO 2ND IN QUE, THE THE REORDING SAYS ALL ARE BUSY, PLEASE CALL BACK. I'VE TRIED CALLING THEM SINCE DECEMBER 26TH WITH NO SUCCESS. AMAZON NEEDS TO LOOK INTO COBY IF THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS. EMAILING THEM(COBY)IS FRUITLESS ALSO.

great product if you get one that works
I bought this unit for my wife for Christmas to replace a dying AudioVox under-cabinet unit I bought for her 2 years ago.
The first Coby I received was defective. Wouldn't power up. I think it was a product defect as appeared to be shipped well from Electronics Express double boxed with lots of peanuts. The CSR from EA was excellent though and even paid for yhe return shipping.
Mounting was a little bit a problem b/c I took the quick route and drilled up from under the cabinet which reminded me of playing a game of Twister, but it took only 5 minutes or so. The template made locating the holes easy to drill, but my cabinets have an overhang, so you may need to make your own spacers to secure it properly. Too bad Coby didn't think of this as many cabinets overhang, but I had an easy fix using the old AudioVox ones.
Anyway, I was surprised to find this unit is capable of displaying both QAM and NTSC "digital" signals!!! This is HUGE and a very welcome surprise as it was able to find almost 100 digital channels when I plugged in my coax cable line from Comcast. This tv will be fine when things go digital come February. I even get all the local channels in HIGH DEF! OK, so the picture quality isn't that great out of the box, but if you tweak the settings, you can get a pretty decent HD picture all things considered. This unit works great with cable providers and over the air antenna, but you won't be able to get HD from a satellite provider as it doesn't have any HD inputs (i.e. RGB component or HDMI), but only coax. But it's perfect for Clear QAM! (do a search if you don't know what this means)
As for the sound, it's ok, kind of cheap and tinny sounding, but you can adjust the trebble and bass. I just bumped the bass up and the trebble way down. Now the sound is decent for a unit this size. It is more than loud enough for a small to medium sized kitchen although at low levels there is a bit of a jump in level.
The DVD quality is excellent. Almost as good as the HD channels, and much better than 480i stretched cable. The DVD and TV take about 8-10 seconds to "warm up", so keep this in mind if things like this bother you.
The radio is pretty good, but once again, the sound is tinny. But the problem here is I haven't found a way to adjust the trebble/bass. Probably can't :( but for me is ok since I got it mostly for tv. It does to a pretty good job picking up channels. Much better than the audiovox, but you're going to need a decent antenna to pull them in strong. Or if you plan on using this mainly as a radio, I'd go with a quality radio instead.
Overall, I'd give this product 5 stars if it weren't for the first one being defective. But I guess that's the chance you take when going with a name like Coby. ;)
