Simple and Easy 
2008-06-27
I got this DVD player for working out. No hard use, no intense visuals, no huge demands of it. To that end it performs wonderfully. I've had no problems with it being finicky or selective in what DVDs it would play. As it is a very simple player it is lite in controls and tweaks, but for the price you can't beat it. It is what it is and I'm very pleased.

I bought this dvd player back in March. A few weeks ago it stopped turning on completely. It's turned on once since then but has not turned on again. It's a waste of money. It would be better to spend even a bit more money on a dvd player that is going to last. Unfortunately, it stopped working after the return period so I'm stuck with it and can only buy a new one. I am not pleased with this product at all. Don't waste your money!
Colby DVD-224 Compact DVD player is Great! 2008-06-22
This is a great product. It's small and easy to move from T.V. to T.V. as well as being able to sit on top of our cable box without being some bulky DVD. This is our third Colby we own and we haven't had a problem with any of them. If we were to ever buy another, Colby is the the way we would go!
Great player, problematic remote control 
2008-06-19
This is my 2nd coby dvd player, the reason I got this new one is because the remote died on me from the old player, and without the remote, you cannot control anything from the player itself. This 224 remote has the worse design, it has many buttons that are not useful on it and is not the same as it showed on the picture. The main button like play, fast forward, rewind and pause are on the very bottom of the remote, which are way inconvenience.
Tips: Fast forward and Rewind is the same button as previous and next chapter, you need to hold the button 2 to 3 seconds for it to start fast forwarding (x2, x4, x8, x16, x32), however, it is very sensitive that you always end up skipping to the next chapter.
Overall, the player itself is good, but the remote control sucks!!! I like the previous model remote control better!
Poor Quality 
2008-06-19
After a few months, this DVD player stopped recognizing that a DVD was inserted. Maybe it can be fixed, but for the price its not worth the bother.
Adequate. Value/price proportionate. 2008-07-22
No bells. No whistles. Does what was expwcted/stated. I am satisfied with what my limited resources afforded me. I am happy that Amazon could/chose to provide it. (Sorrento , FL)
Garbage 2008-07-19
I bought this unit for guests and for people to watch while ill. It had less tan 10 hours of use before it died. It was plugged into a power strip desiged to protect it from power surges. Unfortunately the warrenty was only 90 days. Tried to use it today and it was completely dead. No power light and no response from the remote (installed new batteries). In my opinion you get what you pay for. I went cheap and got cheap. Made in China.
it worked

I was looking for a DVD player that will play DVDs from Asia. This one does play them. I did try to change the region code according to one previous review. I am not sure the instructions work, I think it plays right out of box. I am satisfied with it.
Plays Worldwide DVDs 2008-07-12
I had heard that the Coby 224 DVD player plays region 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 DVDs but wasn't ready to believe it until I saw it. Sure enough I buy it, set it up, stick a DVD in from Europe and instantly the DVD played it, recognizing it as a region 2 DVD. I tried my DVDs from Australia and Japan and they too played like a dream. I didn't need to convert or follow instructions like a previous reviewer posted here; it played any region DVD right from the start and out of the box.
If you've been putting off buying an expensive region-free DVD player (the ones that cost $140 up) look no further. This under $30 DVD player will do the same.
The Coby 224 has a great picture but a lousy remote control. But who cares. It plays any DVD from around the world and that's good enough for me.
OK for the price 2008-07-05
I got this to replace another inexpensive coby DVD player for a workshop. This one is fair. Very slow response time. From one to two seconds to act when buttons are pushed. It came with an unsightly sticker from the manufacturer applied on the top regarding troubleshooting. Very flimsy construction on both the unit and remote. Probably won't last long.
