Great machine!
I love my portable DVD player. Sure, the battery life really stinks, but other than that my DVD player can do anything.
I wouldn't pay $225 for it now, what with more superior machines out, but I am fond of this one and would recommend it to friends.
I have not had any issues with the disc being off balance, or any strange noises coming from my machine.
You can probably find a better DVD player for the same price, if not less.
Cyberhome knowingly sold faulty units!
I bought this DVD player when I was on holiday in Florida in 2004. It packed up after a week and I returned it for a replacement. When I got back home the device packed up again after a couple of weeks.
Unknown to me at the time these units were being sold with a known fault with the battery. Cyberhome thought by adding an addendum to the units they were STILL shipping out faulty that they would not have to fix the fault.
The problem with the battery was it became "dead" if left in the unit and allowed to drain. When this happened the battery could no longer be charged with the supplied charger.
Again Cyberhome provided a "fix" rather than recall the faulty units and give the customers a fully working model. They let customers ... Read More
Battery Life is not good
I bought two of these for both of my children to use. They would put in a movie and before the movie was over the screen would start to flicker and then it went completely black. The sound is good and the picture is clear but the battery is an issue. I would never take this on an airplane cause it might only get you through take off before it quits on you.
Do Not Buy This!
From day one it never worked properly. Would take several reboots to read a DVD. Had terrible problems blacking out or going dead if the power cord was jiggled. It was still under warranty, so we sent it back and the manufacturer sent us a new one. Same problems with the new one. Battery life is not long enough to play a movie all the way through. Very cheaply made. Don't waste your money on it.
Battery is a problem
I took this on my first trip and was hoping to use it to watch movies. I had charged the unit the night before the trip and was looking forward to using it. I was very disappointed when i first turned the player on and it would not play. It was a sad day for me. It worked the next day but only lasted long enough to watch one short movie. My parents could not get it to work for the flight home either. DO NOT BUY, COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY
