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: Didn't last a year! 2010-02-28

Comment: This dvd player broke after less than a year of infrequent use. I noticed that it started taking a long time to read dvds, and after a few weeks of this, it stopped working entirely.

Also, the "stand by" feature is extremely annoying. The dvd player buttons will not respond while in stand by mode. You must either turn the unit off and on manually or turn it off of stand by using the remote.

Summary: NOT ZONE 2 - FALSELY ADVERTISED 2010-02-18

Comment: I bought this item for the sole purpose of playing DVD from Europe (Zone 2). IT was not working. I called COBY. They tried to walk me thru some steps but nothing worked. They won't give me a refund. So I am left with a not so good DVD player which does not play what I was told it would. STAY AWAY FROM THE COMPANY.

Summary: Horrible!! 2010-02-17

Comment: When I got the Coby DVD Player, it seemed like a decent purchase. The player did not even turn on after I plugged it in. After trying several different outlets, I decided to return the item. Not worth it..Do not buy!!

Summary: does not work with Time Warner cable 2010-02-10

Comment: This is a pretty good DVD player that I've owned for years, however I recently had to get a new remote control from my cable provider, Time Warner, and now there's no way to switch from the cable picture to the DVD player. Time Warner told me that their service is not compatible with Coby DVD players. I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up - if you have Time Warner cable, do not waste your money on a Coby DVD player as it will never work. My DVD player is now useless so don't make the same mistake - well, actually it wasn't really my mistake, I had to swap out my old remote control as it was completely worn out. I guess I chose between cable and DVDs and since I am paying for cable service, I pretty much had no choice but to go with it. But Time Warner no longer allows Coby DVD players to be used with their cable service, so just a word to the wise... don't buy this if you have Time Warner, or you will be sorry.
