CyberHome CH-DVD 500 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Excellent DVD player -- best value out there!!!
This is THE best low cost DVD player on the market.  I can't believe the specs on this thing.  Not only did I buy one for myself, I bought one for my parents and my girlfriend.  S-video/component/composite outputs, digital out, 5.1 channel analog outputs (with DTS/Dolby decoder inside the player!!!) and that's just the beginning.  Here are the three best reasons to buy this thing:<br />1) It can handle both NTSC and PAL (European) DVDs.  That means that this will play an imported anamorphic DVD from England or Asia on your American TV set.  Normally, you have to pay big $$$ to get this option.<br />2.) By accessing the system menu with a few clicks of the remote, you can change the region restrictions on the player, allowing you to watch movies from anywhere on the planet.  (Only to be used when moving to a new country, of course -- wouldn't want to get in trouble with the MPAA ;-] ).<br />3.)  And third, well, I can't tell you what the third bonus is.  It has to do with Macrovision.  Go to Google to learn more.<br />Unfortunately, the player doesn't come in black, and the eject button has a slow response time (you have to hold it a beat longer than usual) but picture and sound quality are great.  Would look even better if I had a progressive scan HDTV, but my old CRT suffices.  Highly recommended.
