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.

Product Description
Compatible to NTSC & PAL System, Plays DVD, MP3, CD, CD-R, CD-RW Disks, Various audio and video connects.

1 out of 5 stars FALSE ADVERTISING!!!   June 19, 2010
T. Kavanagh (717)
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.

Product is relaiable and easy to use. It can read all region dvd's, mps which is good. I like using this product.


4 out of 5 stars It DOES play multi regions...if you know the trick!   May 10, 2010
Froglegs (midwest US)
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.



4 out of 5 stars basically basic   May 9, 2010
Dale R. Sandt
I got this strictly for the price, because just using it for periodic listening in the sunroom. As long as you're not looking for or needing anything more than decent CD playback, then this right right for the price! Howerver, for anything beyond that, this is not a first choice.


1 out of 5 stars Terrible Piece of Junk   May 5, 2010
Julie A. DiCarlo (Danville, NH United States)
This player is not worth even $5.00. The open and close drawer is loud. Brand new the player does not work correctly.
Do NOT purchase.
