CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Straight out of the box, it works fantastic for all formats.
I read several reviews on more websites than Amazon.  Everyone was reporting the Black and White issue.  When I brought my DVD player home and plugged it in, I attached the cords as if I was hooking up a VCR using the 3 plugin's in a row. \\"WRONG\\"! Put in a DVD and turned it on.  Black and White...  I found this amusing.  However, when all else fails, read the instructions.  I reconnected the player according to the instructions using the yellow video plug in the yellow connector and the red and white in the audio connectors and we have wonderful color and audio.  I am very happy with the results of this player. Using the audio jacks I connected the dvd player to my stereo and all sound comes through our surround sound and/or stereo speakers.    This player supports all the formats listed on the box wonderfully.  I have tried the following DVD's and CD's and all worked great.    Regular store bought DVD's.    Home burned DVD-R and DVD-RW's video's.    Nero Created SVD to includes chapter selection support    Data DVD and CD which contains mpg videos.  Each mpg video plays one right after another or you can select from a menu index which one to play.  This includes the mpg videos created on my digital camera and copied to a DVD as a storage medium.    DVD-R burned in my burner using home video in avi format    CD with 200 plus MP3's burned on it.  Displays index for picking songs individually or you can select to play random.  Since my DVD player is connected to a stereo through the audio outputs, it doubles as a device for listening to songs through the stereo speakers.    Plays regular music cd's.  We will see how this holds up over a period of time, but I have an APEX DVD player that is over 3 years old and still works just fine.  It was one of the first APEX DVD players that was marketed for $80.    Follow up on the above DVD Player...  It is almost 2 years old and I have yet to have one minute of trouble with it.  I use it in the bedroom so the grand-kids can watch DVD's when the adults are watching TV.  It has been used as much as any other Video player in the house and no problem.  By the way... the Apex is still going strong also.  No problems with either of them.
