I got this for my son's room because it is inexpensive and compact. So far, it has worked very well for him. It has had no problem playing any of the discs we have put in it. The unit is very easy to setup and use. Whatever you do, do not lose the remote! Otherwise you will not be able to perform many of the functions of the DVD player. I was hoping that this DVD player could be vertically mounted, but it cannot. The disc tray does not have the grooves to hold the disc in place when it is mounted vertically.
Purchased because of low cost and PAL Format capability. Works fine with our made in Asia DVDs becuse of the PAL Format feature.

While I appreciate good audio and video I am not per se an electronics buff. I require whatever product buy to perform as advertised and operate for a reasonable period of time. This is my 2nd Coby DVD-224 player and I purchased it because the first one met my basic requirements. For reasons unknown the remote on my first one went missing (probably ran away with the remote for an unused TV) and frankly I was able to buy an entire new unit on ebay for slightly more than the cost of a new remote. This in fact ended up being much less than I paid for the original DVD. While I appreciate good audio and video I am not per se an electronics buff. I purchase based un a specific need and require the product to perform as advertised and last for a reasonable period of time. I purchased my second Coby-224 because,in short, the Coby-224 does everything I require of a DVD at a low cost. The picture is outstandingly good, the various features all do what they are supposed to do, and the audio is as good as my equipment can reproduce. Overall, the Coby-224 has capabilities which I have as yet not discovered or at least, not used. My singular complaint is more with me than the unit: while it is easy to use, I haven't used it often enough to have automatic response programed into me and thus it seems a trifle slow at times while I look up which button to push. Overall, this is an excellent basic DVD player for someone who is not attempting to re-stage the film.Read full review
A really nice DVD player. I was late in reviewing the product because I first hooked it up to a TV that had no video. Turned out that the TV was bad. This little unit works great! I have been using the composite video hookups and I have a very good picture and sound. The remote worked well right out of the box. Great deal for the money.

Really cheap item here. You truly get what you pay for. It's just crap. It's fine for a $5.00 player if you need one, but don't expect much. The player itself does play...but it's flimsy and poorly constructed and just feels cheap. It has trouble playing burned DVD's but so far is ok with store bought DVD's haven't tried any other format yet, but no real need for what I wanted this player for. The remote is a flimsy membrane of soon-to-tear plastic. The button configuration is lame and the FF/RWD is hard to control. Probably not going to last long, but it'll be fine for taking with me while Motel hopping on business trips. It is light and small, but that's probably because there's just nothing of quality in there. It works, but like I say, you get what you pay for. Don't expect much and you'll be fine.Read full review
