CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Cheap but unreliable
I purchased this device for a very simple TV, which didn't have progressive scan and didn't have digital output for sound.  What I found was: <br /> <br />1.  This DVD player skips a fair amount--at least 1-2 times per movie, and <br />2.  audio for movies doesn't always play! <br /> <br />I was trying to play a few DVDs that I had received from Netflix.  One of them had played fine one night, but the next time I tried the SAME MOVIE in the DVD player, the sound was no longer working.  If I put another DVD in, the sound would work.  I was completely mystified. <br /> <br />After looking on Google, I read that other people had the same problem--they had found that inserting an AUDIO CD into the player first, letting it play for 1 minute, and then re-inserting your original, soundless DVD would cause the sound to work once more. <br /> <br />I tried this suggestion and it did work, though the sound seemed to be lower when maxed out completely than it had been the night before. <br /> <br />Clearly, there are some design/manufacturing flaws with this DVD player.   <br /> <br />Personally, I do not want to insert an audio CD everytime my DVD player is incapable of producing the sound from my DVDs.  While this DVD player is cheap, I believe it is worth more money for a more reliable device.  Furthermore, these are only the problems I FOUND!  I would not be surprised if there were more problems with this DVD player.
