Remember back when people had “bookshelf hi-fi stereos” with reel-to-reel tape players (my Dad did) and the systems literally took up the whole bookshelf?

Thanks to micro-electronics and better engineering, things keep getting smaller and smaller all the time. Take for example, this Coby Compact DVD player.

It’s 8.8″ by 2″ by 9.9″. That’s roughly the size of a hard cover book, and it’s all you need for your home theater system, no matter how small or large your room. The Coby DVD player has all you’ll need, and it comes in a great form factor with all the needed features.

It plays movies (DVD, DVD R/RW) and music (CD, CD R/RW) and photos (JPEG Compatible) in NTSC/PAL Compatible TVs, and has a zoom function, parental lock, and progressive scan built in. It also has a Dolby Digital secoder and surround sound through coaxial or digital output (for use with compatible receiver/speaker). It also has a universal power supply, and a full function remote control for ease of use.

And you can’t beat the price: $30 at Amazon.com.
