CyberHome DVD Player
Some Hidden Features You should know
I can't understand the negative reviews here. My Cyberhome player has been a champ from the day I plugged it in. I have one of their previous DVD players also.<br /><br />Picture quality from Componet cables or S-Video is as good as more expensive models. But when I found out it plays PAL discs from Europe without ANY hacks I was thrilled. A friend recently came back from Prague with a couple of Czech movies encoded in PAL. Her parents Toshiba DVD player spit them out. I found a hack for the cyberhome online, and told her to bring the DVDs over. I was expecting to enter a complicated series of codes from the remote, but decided to put the DVD in first to see what happened. To our delight, the movie came up on the TV screen with no problem! Not only is this little silver wizard region free, it automatically senses PAL and converts it to NTSC on the fly! How can it get any better for 40 bucks?<br /><br />Oh yeah, I do hate the remote. But that's minor compared to the value I got.
