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.

4 out of 5 stars Coby DVD-224ss Compact DVD Player Review.......2007-12-25

Bearing in mind this is a very cheap product, I have found it works very well indeed with excellent picture clarity

NON-REGIONAL PLAYING: One of the reasons for buying this product is the fact that it claims to be able to play non-regional DVDs.

However, the manufacturer's manual's instructions for making the player non-regional did nothing but show an error message.

I emailed the manufacturer, received an email back requesting the error message I received when I tried to program it for non-regional playing. I emailed back the information they requested and never heard from them.

I did not follow up because I went back into the Amazon site and hunted around for reviews and to hopefully find some feedback on the non-regional playing aspect of this DVD player.

Several reviewers gave instructions for programming the DVD to be non-regional; some worked for some people, but did not work for others; however one of the reviewers' instructions worked for my DVD player, and now I can play any DVD without having to reprogram it at all.

I am very grateful to the reviewers who took their time to impart and share their experiences for the benefit of all of us.

So, I am very satisfied with my purchase - Even if the DVD only lasts a year and then quits, for the price paid, it certainly would have been a worthwhile purchase - But, who knows, it may continue playing for a long, long time.

3 out of 5 stars Awful quality, but cheap and plays other regions.......2007-12-24

I bought this player because I needed something that could play my region 5 DVD's. It did play the region 5 DVD's, but didn't play home-burnt ones and broke all together after 1 year (started making strange noises a couple of months before it broke). It just stopped in the middle of a new region-1 movie and started clicking. I turned it off, then tried turning it on after a few weeks, and it played half a movie (a different one) and then stopped again. When I first got it, took it out of the box and started setting up, my first thought was that this thing will not last very long - it just looked so cheap and of poor quality. A huge pro is that it is so cheap and you can buy a new one every year. However, it would be nice to pay 30 bucks and not have to throw the thing away after a year, so I'm looking into a Philips DVP 5140.

5 out of 5 stars Coby DVD-224ss Compact DVD Player.......2007-12-23

I purchased the Coby DVD-224ss Compact DVD Player because some of the DVD's I purchased overseas would not play on my old Panasonic. The unit was functional right out of the box. No adjustments were needed. All the DVD's that I bought overseas are now playable. This is an excellent unit for the price.

1 out of 5 stars Bought 2, neither worked.......2007-12-23

Bought 2 bec of the price, neither worked. What I can say? I knew it was cheap.

5 out of 5 stars Delivered as promised!.......2007-12-22

Inexpensive and exactly what I wanted for my kids -- It's not worth spending a lot of money on something that will be obsolete with all the advances in technology and these will be perfect for their rooms while they watch their DVDs.

              5 out of 5 stars Sweet monitor for a sweet price!.......2006-01-07

              This is a beautifully designed and executed monitor. The screen space is vast, the design is sleek and thin, the base is sturdy and offers flexibility in terms of rotation and height adjustment. There were no dead pixels and it was a snap to set up (even the color profiles were easy to set up).

              For some reason a lot of these babies can be had on ebay for around $500 right now and that's an unbeatable deal if you find yourself watching movies, doing 3D work, CAD work or video and photo manipulation work.

              A lot of people seem to have problem with Dell's customer support but I've never had any serious problems with them.

              5 out of 5 stars This thing freaking rules.......2005-12-01

              Got it on ebay for $850. This LCD is amazing, superb brightness, contrast and color. Sharp and bright as hell. Tiny bit of ghosting and slight delay but I find none of that to be a problem at all in the FPS games I play on it (Half Life 2 etc etc)
              Superb display for photoshop, make sure you have a graphics card that can handle 1920X1200, especially if you plan on using it for the games.
              The component and S-video inputs just make the package sweeter - I look forward to using this beast with my XBOX 360 and PS3!!!

              I would never go back to my old 19" CRT @ 1280X1024, I love the screen space too much.
