CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Plays everything.
I am really impressed with this little player. First, they make it easy to change the region code setting, which is important to me because I buy DVDs from England, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, etc. Second, it does a great job of properly converting PAL to NTSC and anamorphic widescreen to letterbox for my standard TV--my previous, 6-times-as-expensive player could not do both conversions simultaneously. And, this player plays almost anything I put in it: <br />DVD <br />DVD+R <br />DVD-R <br />VCD <br />CD <br />CD-R <br />CD+G (an audio CD with graphics; usually used for Karaoke CDs, but for the first time I was able to watch the pictures as I played my Firesign Theatre \\"Eat or Be Eaten\\" CD) <br />MP3 files <br />MPG files <br />JPG files (like Picture CDs) <br /> <br />The presence of Brightness and Contrast controls in the player makes a lot of sense, and I've never seen this offered by any other player. <br /> <br />It's a lot of fun, it's not noisy at all, and if it does die in 6 to 8 months like some other reviewers predict, I'll buy another one because it's so cheap, and I don't know of any other player that does so much.
