Remote control not functioning properly

I have a Coby DVD-224 player. Al of a sudden, the remote control stopped working properly. On press of any key (including power/open/close), it shows "Random" message displayed on the screen. I tried changing batteries too but no success.

Pls. suggest what can be the cause and fix for it. Thanks!

    I have a similar issue, but my son actually threw away the remote, thinking we could just buy a new one. Hence, I can't get any numbers off the back of it. The model is the DVD-224. Is that information alone enough to send with the six dollars to get a replacement?

I work for Coby technical support. Our customer service phone number is 1-800-727-3592.

It sounds like the remote needs to be replaced. Below is the procedure you would follow to obtain a replacement remote from COBY.

To obtain a replacement part from COBY, you must follow these instructions:
Please send:

1. A money order made out to COBY Electronics in the amount of $6.00 (FOR EACH PART ORDERED! -- TFDVD batteries cost $18.00)
2. A note with your full name, phone number, and return address.
3. A note detailing the model number of the device/unit and the part being requested.
4. If you're requesting a replacement remote please write the numbers found on the back of the remote on the note mentioned above.

We strongly suggest you either send the above requirements via certified mail OR with delivery confirmation which is available from the post office. And please hold on to your money order receipt/stub.

COBY will not make return shipments to a P.O. Box. For shipping to international addresses, actual freight will be charged. Please mail the above requirements to:

Customer Service
COBY Electronics Corp.
56-65 Rust Street
Maspeth, NY 11378

Failure to enclose the above requirements will result in a delay in the processing of your part request. Please allow 4 weeks for the processing of your request; allow 6 weeks during the November to February holiday season.

While this solution doesn't "fix" your problem, I hope that by giving you the facts, I've enabled you to make an informed decision as to what to do next.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Buy yourself a GE 94221 universal remote (Home depot $6) and use DVD code 0947 to control the Coby dvd 224.

One or more button of the remote may be sticky and touching together.
If this happened, the remote will not work.
Remove the batteries and press all of the buttons at least 2 times.
This will free up all the buttons.
Install batteries and try remote.

Coby dvd 514 remote

BAD NEWS.....I READ THIS FROM THE COBY PRODUCTS WEBSITE: COBYUSA.COM..... What is the code to program my Universal remote with my Coby DVD player? There is no code to program our DVD players with your Universal remote, you need to use the remote that came with the player.

Remote

if coby is an independent company you are out of luck. Is coby made by a "master company"? (e.g. orion is made by emerson and their codes work for orion products)

Coby 626 DVD Player Remote Not Working

I have a COBY DVD player TF-DVD7005 that hadn't been used in a while. When I charged the battery and the light went from red to green, nothing happens when I push play and the DVD doesn't spin. Could the battery be dead despite the green light and where would I get a new one?
