Was this just a lemon or a major defect?

I was very eager to receive this TV/DVD because it was one of the only ones to fit my requirements in terms of space, tv/dvd combo and price. It arrived in good shape but since the frame is plastic there were two major impressions where the styrofoam packing braces (designed to hold it securely in the box) dented the frame. Nevertheless, after spending some time (2 hours) trying to understand all the directions for assemblying the few parts, I called the company to disccover that there was a step missing--the process of scanning in the channels before being able to receive the signal. The techie was helpful and walked me through the steps. (I think it would help to have a sheet of simple steps that will take you directly through the whole process from plug in to usage.) I was happy enough with the clarity and brightness of the TV picture and the sound was quite good. However, when I tried to play dvd's--I tried 4--I couldn't get the dvd player (attached) to work. It said "Read" but never showed the picture instead claiming "No Disc" when clearly it had claimed it had read the data. I had trouble retrieving the disc--which after 7 or 8 tries on the "open" option (hidden in the directions) finally was ejected. It would help to use the word "EJECT" rather than "open/close" since there is no indication as to what those words actually refer to. I was very disappointed that the dvd component did not work since it meant sending back the whole unit. Maybe I just got a lemon. I called the Coby company for the second time in three days and they told me to return it which I will do as I purchased it from Amazon. Very disappointing but maybe I will try to get another one--It is certainly not worth the original price of $500+ but may be worth $350. Anyone out there have a good experience with this model?
