The Best of DVD Worlds
The CyberHome DVD player is what I have been searching for
for years: American and European systems (and others) compatible!
And at such a reasonalble price!
Will continue to work if you remember to upnplug it.
I think I know what the problem is with this DVD player. I purchased this model a few years ago and it eventually stopped working (wouldn't turn on even with a fresh battery in the remote). I think this happened because I left it plugged in all the time with the power off. I think the fact that it is "plugged in" burns out the components even thought the power is supposedly "off". I purchased the same model again about two years ago and I always unplug it when I'm not using it and it works perfectly. I think this is a good DVD player for the price--you just have to remember to unplug it when it's not in use.
Great DVD Player
For the money I spend on this, it is a great DVD player! All I needed was a small DVD player that doesn't take up allot of space. And it plays the european DVD's!
To some of the reviews I can just comment: if you want something better, spend more money. I didn't need to plug in any more electronic devices etc.. so this works just fine for my family.
If you are on a low budget and just need a DVD player for the kids to watch something occasionally, this product is for you.
Fantastic gizmo for low bucks.
I've had this DVD player for almost 3 years now, and have never had a problem with it. It's small, inexpensive, and works like a charm. The remote isn't easy to use (you can't really use it by touch, you have to squint at the tiny thing every time to make sure you're hitting the right button), but that's my only complaint.
Cyberhome 300S
This is a great little DVD player. It plays everything I throw at it-including PAL. If a DVD does not play or cuts out during playback, on my JVC and/or Panasonic DVD players, the Cyberhome 300S will play it completely-without error. In fact, I have two of these machines. As to picture quality-those who complain are probably viewing the DVD through a telescope. I see no difference in quality from that of my other DVD players and the 300S.The quality of construction is very good-not cheap plastic like other small DVD players seen at Walmart. I would recommend this player to anyone who wants a good durable player at a reasonable
price. The only thing I have not tested is its progressive scan capabilities as I have SDTVs only.
I am glad that, as of 12/28/07, you can still purchase one.
