Coby DVD-224 Compact DVD Player

I bought this coby dvd player, and it came broken. Didn't work, waste of money.

I was so excited to get this dvd player to play items from the BBC store ...it did not play any of these from other regions...I think the remote must be different because the suggestions(and there are many on the internet) to get it to unlock for other regions include a stop button etc. not present on my remote...Coby tech support just sent me a cut and paste job from internet and didn't seem to want to be bothered that the remote they sent was different...it is a cute, easy to set up player but I already have one in every room and just needed a region free...I am still on the quest to unlock regions.

I liked the compact size and the simple setup. HOWEVER, after less than a month it froze up and wouldn't play DVD's anymore. Amazon is super easy to exchange stuff so I did that but the replacement unit they sent me did the exact same thing. :( I ended up just returning it for a refund.

HORRIBLE PRODUCT!!!! WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN I FIRST REC'D IT. I GOT IT TO OPEN FINALLY - IT WORKED ABOUT A DAY THEN DIED. I CALLED THE COMPANY TO GET A REPLACEMENT & THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PAID $14 FOR SHIPPING (THIS DVD PLAYER WAS ONLY $20 TO BEGIN WITH) I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT OR THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the second colby dvd player i have purchased. it is an outstanding product for the price. i like that it is compact and easy to hook up. i see no reason to get another dvd player untill i want to get one that also records.
I checked out several sites to do comparitive shopping, overstock.com had the best product for the amount i wanted to spend.
