 Exactly What I Was Looking ForAug 25, 2005
By Peter Paddon
"Author and Witch"
I wanted to be able to watch DVDs from the UK that weren't available in NTSC. So far the Coby has handled everything I've put in it with no trouble. It impressed a friend so much he got one too.
I'm not expecting it to last forever - it is a mega-cheapie after all - but at this price, I can buy a new one every year, and consider it worth it. I haven't found any other box that does multi-region with on-the-fly PAL/NTSC conversion at any price.
UPDATE - I've had my Coby for two years now, and it is still working fine. I have found some commercial DVDs don't play well in it, but it is a fault of the DVD manufacturer, not the player (I work in the industry). Basically, Technicolor don't test for compatability with the software codec used in this box, and frequently the only way to play DVDs duplicated by Technicolor is to go to the Select Scene menu and pick the first scene. It plays fine from there. This affects many cheaper DVD players, who all use the same software codec.

 Nice when they work...Apr 19, 2006
By L.M. Bozler
"Boz"
I've owned 2 of these now. When they work, they're great and will read any disk, and are great space savers. But, after 4 months, the 1st one died. Luckily, I found an obvious blown capacitor that was easily replaced, and that unit is still working.
The 2nd just died, with no hope of recovery. Right in the middle of a disk, it stopped. Any disk inserted after that gave the message, "Wrong Disk".
I would avoid if you're looking for a long-term reliable player.

 Beware: Setting DVD region differs between models "224" and "224M" and Amazon ships bothJun 28, 2006
By Oliver Baker
"Oliver"
Make sure you have no DVD in the tray.
On the remote control
1) Press "TITLE"
2) Press "1" and then "9"
On the TV a large box with a small number will appear.
The number indicates for which DVD region the machine has been set, for example "2" for Germany or "0" for no region preference.
3) Press the up arrow or down arrow to raise or lower the number
4) Press "ENTER"
If you've entered the region number or "0", you're ready to play your region-protected DVD.
NOTE: Even though the Amazon page advertises Coby model "224", they shipped me a model "224M" and I had to call Coby customer service to learn how to program it. The two models differ, although they look more or less identical and have the same features, I'm guessing.

Coby 224 DVD PlayerApr 25, 2006
By Thomas Eckdahl
We purchased the Coby 224 DVD Player from Amazon and have found it to be unsatisfactory. It refuses to play many DVD's. We have owned it for 60 days and at first, we thought it was bad DVD's from the rental store. We now believe it the Player that is the source of the problem. Unfortunately, we confirmed this too late and Amazon now refuses to allow a return.
