CyberHome CH-LDV 712 7-Inch Portable Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Silver
Bad start at first but....
UPDATE: I have owned this unit for a year now and can honestly say I have had no issues with this particular one at all except for an occasional problem getting it to play at first. I would say I have easily logged a few hundred hours of play time on this player and have been extremely satisfied. Hope your experience turns out as good as mine!<br /><br />Here is my original review:<br /><br />The Good: Great picture, killer sound, even on those itty bitty speakers-put headphones on & you are in the theatre! Came w/ tons of extras: a remote, a carrying case, AC adapter, car adapter, 2.5 hours battery, great headphones, etc. Tough external case. Plays tons of media: MP3, VCD, JPEG, even some AVI's! Good price for what I got. EXCEPT....<br /><br />The Bad: This is the 4th unit I have owned. I have had to return it 3 times now. This will be the last time-after this I will ask for a full refund. I thought it was a fluke with the 1st few, but nope. Same thing. There seems to be a short in the power connection, whether you're using the battery or an adapter. If you move it just a bit it will make a very nasty squealing noise and 'zap!' the screen either goes so dark you can barely make out the picture or it goes GREEN. At that point you have to completely restart the unit.<br /><br />The Ugly: It did this within a few days of taking it out of the box.<br /><br />Verdict: Buying this unit based on personal experience and the reviews I have read, will be a gamble-you are taking your chances.
