CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Amazing Little Machine
This is the DVD player for everyone.  I have gone through several players over the past few years---some cheap, some not-so-cheap.  I saw this little progressive scan machine on sale and impulse-bought it for my bedroom.  Excellent call!  It fires up quickly and plays DVDs, CDs, etc. flawlessly.  Six months later I bought another one for my living room--hooked it up to the home theatre system and was even more pleased than before.  DO read the manual (it is online if you lose the book), particularly if you are hooking it with component cable.  The changes needed to make this trick work are simple but not intuitive.  Overall, this baby is the real deal...small but hugely powerful...and for 40 bucks or so no one should be afraid to give it a try.
