Coby DVD-224 DVD Player

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.

I like the brand and design.The price was good.Also the delivery was guick.The player is small enough to fit in a small area.It's also guiet,that is a plus.

I LIKE THE PRODUCT VERY MUCH AND WOULD RECOMEND IT TO ANY ONE AND HAVE DONE SO
SEVERAL TIME. I BOUGHT I BECAUSE IT HAD EVERY THING I WANTED IN A DVD PLAYER.
AND HAS DON EVERY THING I EXPECTED.

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.

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.

Small is good, the lack of a remote is not so good, but it wasn't supposed to have one. Its OK ... not fabulous .. but OK.

I received this item new in the box and it will not play "ANY" DVD's. I investigated this product online and have found that many buyers are having the same issue with this product. Don't waste your time or money on this item.

The item works just fine, BUT it was listed as "NEW". when it arrived, it was not new in that items had been retaped and repackaged and the instruction manual had half of the front page torn off. I gave seller a postive feedback, but asked that he not list equipment this way in the future. I never received a response or apology from him/her.

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.

I had 3 DVD players in the last year that stopped working for no reason. I went on Ebay to find a reliable, new DVD player that was inexpensive. I found the Coby DVD player and was impressed by it's new look, it's past seller history, and it had everything I was looking for at an incredible price. It arrived quickly and has had no problems in the time that I've had it. The only thing I do not like about it is that when you skip between scenes you cannot rewind the dvd back to before the new scene. So in order to go back to where you want to watch you have to skip back a scene then fast forward to where you want to watch. Great seller and great product!
