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.

Summary: Ok... 2010-08-20
Comment: Works well, and was bought for my daughters room. She has had a while now, and its still working, and plays all her dvds. It's ok for a cheaper dvd player.

Summary: Broken after 4 months 2010-08-12
Comment: This was a cute little player while it lasted. It made a horrible noise whenever it played a disk, but once it got going, it was okay. Then right after the manufacturer's warranty was up, the door stopped opening. I called them to see what they could do because the warranty states that "parts" are covered for a year. Apparently what they consider "parts" are cables and remote controls. Silly me. I assumed parts are what they used to put the thing together. She suggested I take it to a repair shop. It's not worth repairing. I'm going to go buy Sony or another brand that I trust.

Summary: FALSE ADVERTISING!!! 2010-06-19
Comment: This player is listed, not only on this website but also in the instruction booklet it comes with, as being region code free or NTSC/PAL compatible.

This is an outright lie. I have a few dozen region 2 DVDs and none of them work on this player.

In addition to this there is no way that I have determined yet to fast forward or rewind on any given DVD. I suppose I could read through the directions to see if there is some halfassed method of doing so, but it would be a waste of my time since I am going to return this product.

If it seems to good to be true it probably is.

Customer Rating: 4 Star
Summary: It DOES play multi regions...if you know the trick! 2010-05-10
Comment: I recently this just to play region 2 DVD's. No, it doesn't work right out of the box, but it does work nicely!

Try this:


Start with player ON, but no disc inserted.
Press "Set up"button and release,
Press Vol +, Vol-, Vol +, Vol -,
A number 1 will show up in upper right hand corner of the screen
Change to 255 (All region) by pressing the right arrow. Keep pressing- #255 will pop up after a few tries.
Press "Set up" again.
Insert your DVD
You may need to press the NTSC/Pal button on the remote once or twice to get the screen to stop 'rolling'

This did the trick for me, and I am now happily watching Kingdom Series 1- a region 2 DVD :-)
Oh, yes it's a cheap little DVD player, so take care with it. For the low price and my purpose-it's perfect.
