CyberHome Prism Home DVD Player
Hope this was just a fluke, because it was awful.
Maybe I just had a bum unit, but I had problems with this thing right out of the box.  I popped in my first movie, and it displayed the message, &quot;No disc.&quot;  So I took the disc out and put it in again and got the message, &quot;Open.&quot;  I took the disc out and put it in a few more times, until it finally acknowledged the disc and that its lid was closed.  However, 3/4 of the way through the movie, it just stopped playing for no reason, suddenly saying &quot;no disc.&quot;  I managed to restart it, and watched the last 1/4 of the movie with no problems.  I was hoping that these were isolated incidents, but they weren't.  This problem started on Friday, right after I hooked it up.  On Saturday, it became more and more of a struggle to play a disc.  At one point, I just had to let it rest for an hour and go back before it would acknowledge that it was indeed closed, and indeed contained a disc.  By Sunday, it gave me the message that the lid was open no matter what I did, and the thing was useless.  I'm shipping it back and buying a totally different unit.  I am very disappointed because I loved the looks of the thing, the remote was easy to figure out, and given the very limited space in my entertainment center, the size was perfect.  But if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter if it looks pretty.  Hope others are having better luck with this unit, and that my bad luck was just a fluke, but I'm not willing to re-try to find out.
