Amazon.com Product Description
Forget thinking outside the box--now you can stop worrying about the box altogether. Coby's DVD-224 is about the size of a hardcover book, so whether you're ferrying the player between the kitchen and the bedroom or hooking it up for periodic use by the kids, the DVD-224's small size permits enjoyment of DVD programs and music CDs in just about any room you want. While not portable in the traditional sense--the unit has no screen and requires AC power--the DVD-224 is much easier to move around, set-up, and use than a traditional component DVD player.

It handles not only your DVD-Videos (both NTSC- and PAL-formatted discs, depending on your TV), but it plays your music, too--everything from standard CDs to home-burned CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3-encoded CDs. Further, you can load a disc brimming with digital photos for custom slide shows in the comfort of your home theater.

An onscreen display simplifies setup and operation, and the unit comes with a compact, full-function remote control. Other features include parental controls (with PIN lock), frame-by-frame slow motion, picture zoom (2x, 4x), and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs).

Like to travel? The DVD-224 won't hog space in your bag, and an auto-switching universal power supply handles inputs from AC 110 to 220 volts (50/60 Hz) for use in most countries. Accordingly, the unit's onscreen display offers a choice of 5 setup languages: English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.

A composite-video output ensures compatibility with nearly any television and many newer computer monitors. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (choose from either optical or coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. A set of standard left/right RCA analog outputs simplifies hookup with traditional integrated amplifiers and most televisions.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

3 out of 5 stars Adequate. Value/price proportionate.   July 22, 2008
No bells. No whistles. Does what was expwcted/stated. I am satisfied with what my limited resources afforded me. I am happy that Amazon could/chose to provide it. (Sorrento , FL)


1 out of 5 stars Garbage   July 19, 2008
I bought this unit for guests and for people to watch while ill. It had less tan 10 hours of use before it died. It was plugged into a power strip desiged to protect it from power surges. Unfortunately the warrenty was only 90 days. Tried to use it today and it was completely dead. No power light and no response from the remote (installed new batteries). In my opinion you get what you pay for. I went cheap and got cheap. Made in China.


4 out of 5 stars it worked   July 14, 2008
I was looking for a DVD player that will play DVDs from Asia. This one does play them. I did try to change the region code according to one previous review. I am not sure the instructions work, I think it plays right out of box. I am satisfied with it.


5 out of 5 stars Plays Worldwide DVDs   July 12, 2008
I had heard that the Coby 224 DVD player plays region 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 DVDs but wasn't ready to believe it until I saw it. Sure enough I buy it, set it up, stick a DVD in from Europe and instantly the DVD played it, recognizing it as a region 2 DVD. I tried my DVDs from Australia and Japan and they too played like a dream. I didn't need to convert or follow instructions like a previous reviewer posted here; it played any region DVD right from the start and out of the box.

If you've been putting off buying an expensive region-free DVD player (the ones that cost $140 up) look no further. This under $30 DVD player will do the same.

The Coby 224 has a great picture but a lousy remote control. But who cares. It plays any DVD from around the world and that's good enough for me.



2 out of 5 stars OK for the price   July 5, 2008
I got this to replace another inexpensive coby DVD player for a workshop. This one is fair. Very slow response time. From one to two seconds to act when buttons are pushed. It came with an unsightly sticker from the manufacturer applied on the top regarding troubleshooting. Very flimsy construction on both the unit and remote. Probably won't last long.
