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.

1 out of 5 stars Had to return it twice   October 15, 2008
I liked the compact size and the simple setup. HOWEVER, after less than a month it froze up and wouldn't play DVD's anymore. Amazon is super easy to exchange stuff so I did that but the replacement unit they sent me did the exact same thing. :( I ended up just returning it for a refund.


1 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   October 15, 2008
HORRIBLE PRODUCT!!!! WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN I FIRST REC'D IT. I GOT IT TO OPEN FINALLY - IT WORKED ABOUT A DAY THEN DIED. I CALLED THE COMPANY TO GET A REPLACEMENT & THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PAID $14 FOR SHIPPING (THIS DVD PLAYER WAS ONLY $20 TO BEGIN WITH) I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT OR THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!


5 out of 5 stars DVD player   October 15, 2008
this is the second colby dvd player i have purchased. it is an outstanding product for the price. i like that it is compact and easy to hook up. i see no reason to get another dvd player untill i want to get one that also records.
I checked out several sites to do comparitive shopping, overstock.com had the best product for the amount i wanted to spend.



2 out of 5 stars As advertised but too loud   October 13, 2008
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.
