CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
You can't beat it for $30!
I bought two of these for less than $30 a piece, brand new. I use one in my high-end home theatre to play DVD-R media. (my Toshiba SD-9000 will NOT play and burned media, even though it was $700!) The other one is in my smaller TV room. I used the component video out and optical audio out in the home theatre, and s-video, and stereo out in the TV room. Both ways provided great video and audio. Of course, the SD-9000 KILLS this thing in audio/video quality, but like I said, it was $700.00. What do you expect? I've had these units for a few months, and have had no problems with either one. The only real complaint I have is the lack of any lcd display on the unit. Although it really doesn't matter. The on-screen display is adequate. The remote is a bit confusing. All of the buttons are the same size and shape, which makes it hard to navigate in low light. But, then again, a replacement remote for my Toshiba costs more than this whole package! Again, you get what you pay for. But I've seen far worse units at a higher price that this one. I would definitely buy another one if mine broke. It's well worth the $30-40. The built in MP3 player is nice too.
