CyberHome Prism Home DVD Player

There's a lot to like about this DVD player - it's very portable and comes with a box/packaging that makes it easy to pack up and take with you. The features are comparable to much higher priced players. However, now the bad news. The player functioned well the first couple of times I used it but its performance has steadily gone down hill. You put a disk in and it spins and spins and can't read it and will then say "no disk". Frequently, if you try to shut the power off at the unit or with the remote to restart it, it will NOT EVEN POWER DOWN. You end up having to unplug it to cut the power. I have taken "problem disks" to my other DVD player which is an inexpensive Sony unit and the disks play without a hitch. Stay away from this unit. All the portability and functions in the world can't compensate for a DVD player that can't even play disks.

First you will notice that they were all made in 2001. It runs on this huge Dc converter, and it tends to heat up. The remote is not universal compatable so you have to use their remote only, does not even have a "floating" screen saver to protect tv from burn in.
KEEP AWAY FROM THIS UNIT.....My stop playing on the 3rd DVD.

Don't look any further. This baby kicks donkey! This is the first DVD player that I have owned, but I've used a lot before this. This thing is awesome. It's easy to hook up and disconnect. It's small and light, so it's easy to take with you to a friend's house. I'm in college right now, so it's a great space saver (it fits on top of my TV). The thing is competely self-explanatory -- I didn't even have to read the directions to begin using it. It's just plug it in, and play the DVD. The remote control has all of the buttons that a person could ever want -- zoom, fast forward, reverse (both of which can be done at different speeds), etc. etc. All of my friends are in awe -- at the quality and the pirce.
Now, I know I'm sounding like I was paid to write this, or I know the owners of the company or something. But, I'm not. I had never heard of Cyber Home before I bought this thing. I still haven't seen anything else that they make. It doesn't matter though -- they've...Read more
