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.

 As advertised but too loud October 13, 2008
P. Keen (Minneapolis, MN)
I bought this DVD player to replace a DVD/VCR combo in the bedroom. The setup was a snap and removed the country code on the second try. It played all DVDs that I tried. However, the issue I ran into was the how loud the motor was. I was probably more sensitive to it because it was late at night and located in the bedroom with everyone else trying to sleep.
The return was easy. I wouldn't hesitate to buy something from BuyNow or Amazon.
 Coby the piece of junk October 12, 2008
Rajendra K. Nath
I bought this dvd player it worked for one day and so I threw out the box and reciept and other paperwork on the very second day the player only spins the disk but would not play the disk whatsoevery looks like I got a piece of junk --- I am not at all satisfied with this player now it is just occuping the shelf space on my entertainment system
Stopped Working After Six Months - Disposable October 11, 2008
Robert Parducci (New York, NY USA)
We purchased this item as an inexpensive replacement for an Audiovox D1705 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD which recently died.
Setup was quick and easy. The player has S-video and progressive scan outputs. The remote takes some getting used to.
We now get a "Wrong Disc" error message from the unit. It is not worth the cost of repair. I am annoyed that we need to replace this item after such a short period of time.
Initially gave Coby four stars due to price and features. Revised rating to two stars. You get what you pay for.
Poor Quality October 11, 2008
T. Braun
This DVD player is a waste of money and time. The DVD tray would keep opening and shutting when I tried to put a DVD in. It wouldn't stay shut and wouldn't play any DVDs. I exchanged it for another, figuring it was just a dud. The second unit would play about 1/2 an hour into the movie, and then freeze up. It did this for every DVD I tried in it. Fortunately, Amazon paid for shipping and returned it with no problems. Basically, it's a cheap machine and you get what you pay more. Go with better quality and save yourself the hassle.
Not Great But It's Cheap October 6, 2008

Well, you get what you pay for, I suppose. I can't say that I'm all that impressed with many of the Coby products that I have bought. Their MP3s aren't very good and now I know the DVD players aren't a whole lot better. They are reasonably priced. That is what attracts so many people to their products. But, you can't expect much for your money either.
I bought 2 of these DVD players simultaneously (one for each of the kid's rooms). One of them has been working quite well, while the other has had a few problems. It doesn't always read the DVD and will sometimes stop playing. It usually will restart after a push of the button, but it is kind of annoying.
