Is there a protective film covering the screen or is mine defective? I bought two of these and when I opened the box both players had bubbles on the screen. I just assumed it was a protective layer of film, but am finding it impossible to peel off. Thinking I got a couple of bum players. Does anyone remember if their units had peelable film when they first got it? This seems like such a stupid question, but I've never had a problem like this before.

C. Brooks, thanks. Your suggestion about tape worked. So obvious I didn't even consider it! I received two replacement units and one had a big bubble that peeled off with tape, but the other had the film perfectly placed again (like it shouldn't come off) and it wouldn't peel off easily even with tape. I hope these players work as well as whoever put the film on the screen.

That was a good idea. I've never seen any protective film like this before. Maybe they'll send them back to me instead of replacing them. The film was placed so perfectly on the screen (despite the bubbles) that it really seemed like it might be permanent.

Mine has the bubbles and minor peel-off at the top corner as well.The rest of the screen looks perfect, as others have said. I did find it possible to use the flat part of my fingernail and a piece of cardboard to press it back into place so it almost looks perfect. I figure I'll leave it on as a first layer of defense. Zagg.com has great screen protection films but with the ability to close the lid on this unit, I figure I shouldn't need that.BTW- anyone know if spare batteries are available???

Used the tape method to remove. Worked great after a couple of tries; the tape finally stuck.If it weren't for those annoying small bubbles I would have left it on! Almost perfect!

Funny. Even though you get the bubbles out of the top right corner,,,they come back. Especially when the unit is exposed to temperature changes (like going out into the cold car).I think I'm going to try removing the film because it's starting to get anoying.By the way I found info on genuine Coby spare batteries!Check the other Discussion at the bottom of the main page for this product.
86153
Aww man you shouldnt have returned them, I put a piece of scotch tape at the top right (where the bubbles were) and slowly pulled and the protective film peeled off!
86154
I ended up returning them (not Amazon) and am waiting to see if they'll send me replacements. I called Coby's tech support and it was a hired out firm. They didn't know the answer either and couldn't help me.

The film looked so good, except for the upper right which has a non-adhesive, key-hole shape. I was going to keep the film on if I could get the upper right to adhere to the screen!Nice, little unit.

Did you accidently touch the adhesive? Sometimes that ruins that part on most screen protectors. I had one bubble when I installed mine but I pressed down and pushed the bubble to the edge of the screen until it came out. But your saying it isn't flattening out so your piece may be defective because mine was fine and didn't have to flatten out.

My screen protectors definitely did not have any words over them when they are installed properly. Are you peeling off the front and back films when installing the screen protectors, according to instruction? Again, mine are crystal clear, no printing, and they align very well.

Wipe the disc with a clean cotton cloth and water. Play in a different player. Wait until the disc is really scratched up and completely unplayable before using the device to resurface and polish. It is a one time fix.

I put it on at work, which is a dusty location. I cleaned the screen with the soft cleaning cloth you get from the Optometrist. I lined it up, tried using the cardboard piece but found that a debit card worked much better to get any bubbles out.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

Mine came with protective film on all of them. If there are no scratches on it then I wouldn't worry about it. As long as the adhesives seem ok. If not, contact the seller and ask for new ones.

Thanks, an LCD screen is on a CELLPHONE isn't it? My major was EE they use UV in a lot of processes curing, etching etc. so there could be cause for concern. I thought this was Seller contact NOT buyers. I wrote them also.

Hi Lindsey!Yes, the protectors we include are a thin film that you peel off and place on your device. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Kindly,Jessie / The Friendly Swede Hi Lindsey!Yes, the protectors we include are a thin film that you peel off and place on your device.

Thanks for writing, first and foremost I would like to tell you that I first purchased the HD high Defintion version which I loved, however it got dirty too fast and was glary, then I ordered the anti finger print version which looks cloudy at first but dont be alarmed it is very clear when you put it on and I feel it has a bit more thickness to it for more protection. Now as far as putting it on it is very easy to place on the screen once you have read instructions and perhaps watched the video, please make sure you clean the surface of your device or wipe it down with a damp not wet cloth or napkin like a lens cleaner and then place it on accordingly to instructions. If anything goes wrong Tech Armor does stand by their product, just take your time and if ou get one or two minor bubbles which may happen as it did to me at first it some how irones itself out if you go over it with a credit card like card board which the item comes with, Please write if any other questions, I ll try to help you the best I can, also it has life time warranty. Thank You.

You are right, it is linked to the BD-Live option, but if you reset of inactivate BD-Live, it goes away. I have 2 player, the BDT215 and BD85K and I have no issues till date. The freezing, pixelating issue seems to be a disc issue. Some players can play slighly imperfect disc better. But this is possibly the best player on market currently.

We've been experiencing it off and on for about 6 months. Two nights ago, it was really bad...today...its not there. It comes and goes. In our case its a blue stripe. We've seen it whether its coming from the cable box or bluray player. I haven't played with it too much, so I don't have a pattern of what it does and how to defeat it. I'd like a comment from Panasonic. Our TV was 5 years old at Christmas.

Honestly, even though I purchased a Holy Grail screen protector previously, it was too much money. It eventually broke and I found one similar to it for about $5.00 on EBay that works just as well. In fact, the 'button' piece is shaped better than it was on the HG. By the way, I just tossed the HG rather than present it as a warranty issue. I figured that whatever they charged me for postage would have been more than the new EBay item.

I just got one, and there is not a screen protector built in, Buddy of mine got one too and they just put a cheap PET Film (dollar store quality) screen protector in the package with it. I tried to apply it for him since he didn't know how and even though the screen was perfectly clean, it would not apply without air bubbles. Direct quote from customer service:"The screen protector that comes with the case is no longer a built in one, but a separate screen protector made from PET. Reason for this change is that the old screen protector forms a chamber between the phone and the phone case, thus causing echo issue. We try to solve the problem by using a separate screen protector."

"#1. Does this film reduce bright on the screen?" "It's clear and thin just like any screen protector that you would use to protect your cellphone., therefor it does not affect the brightness in any way. "#2. My screen has some little scratches. Can this film hide these scratches?"I don't have an answer for you, but it sounds like you could've used one.

Mine seems to do the same thing. I called the number on the Instruction booklet, the person I talked to could not help but unsuccessfully tried to reach their tech support. They never called me back. I really like the player- it is just what I was looking for. I will return the unit as I also think it is defective. Cannot decide whether to ask for a replacement, or just get my money back.

This protector shield is not colored, it is transparent. So whatever scratches you had on your unit still shows, but I do recommend this protector shield on you to prevent further damage on the surface of your unit. I' m telling you honestly that all of my family's electronics (cellphones,tablets,laptops) were having this kind of protector shield and still having no regrets after several years now. I hope this will help your decision.
