CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Decent DVD player
Got this about a month ago and help out on my review to test it out..When I first got it I didn't realize it was so small....may have been looking at the bigger version...but no matter...small is nice. The first couple DVDs didn't play...when trying to read it a &quot;?&quot; appears...That can be frusturating..and then the tray wouldn't open to let me get the disc out! I had to &quot;tap&quot; it on the sides a couple times for it to pop open...the first fews weeks some DVDs didn't read or play for some reason...and some did..<br />My guess the DVD has to be in pristine condition(no scratches or smudges of any kind on the DVD) or it won't play..or it seems.<BR>So give it a nice cleaning before hand for better luck...<BR>It's a bit noisy though, but I usually have the TV loud, so it drowns it out..:)<br />I haven't tried playing any Cd's or or CD-Rs or any jpeg Cd's though..just use it for DVDs<br />So to conclude...doesn't always play certain DVDs..for reasons that it may not be in good condition or whatever...I have a better, more expensive DVD player in the living room that seems to ignore scratches and whatnot...cause it's more powerful...<BR>But what do ya expect on a 50 dollar DVD player? :)<br />A bit noisy at times...but over time you'll be able to ignore it..<br />It's very small, so that means portability..can take it any where..probably can fit it in a purse..:0<BR>just needs a TV with a/v jacks..and plug it in..that's nice<br />But be warned, if the DVD player can't read the disc, it may get stuck...if so, I just lightly tap in on the sides a few times until it opens..worked every time for me.<br />And also there may be a feature to turn off the region code, so you can make it region free..I've done that, but haven't tried any over seas DVDs to see if it works though.<br />But overall, when the DVDs do play the picture is nice, haven't seen any poor picture quality up to this point of any of the 12 DVD movies I've seen in it so far...<br />So for being only 50 bucks(I paid 46 dollars), and its compact size..it's a pretty decent buy for your bedroom TV or whatever...<br />Hope I didn't ramble on to much...lol
