Cyberhome Region Free 110/220v Progressive Scan DVD Player, CH-DVD 300

 (67 customer reviews)

Bought this player for USD 29 in a Thanksgiving Sale. Normally I go for well known branded products but after hearing some good reviews from friends, I decided to buy this one. Before this player, I had a Toshiba DVD player which ran ok for about three years. Let me share some good and bad points about this player if it helps you reach any decision better.

Pros
-Cheapest and decent player on the market
-Very forgiving on formats, almost plays anything...
-Very small size, can carry with you anywhere
-Works on 110/220 V, so you can use it anywhere in the world
-Comes with Bookmarking function - very handy
-Has all necessary features that one looks for in today's DVD players

Cons
-Not a known brand yet

The BEST part about buying this player is its price and performance and the fact that it can play a lot of different formats and even DVDs made at home etc. Many well known brand players don't do this job that well and...Read more

so i've had this dvd player for about 6 months because i had originally planned on using it to play my asian dvds. well, i was only able to get my hands on some nice asian dvds the other day so in the meantime, i've only been playing 'region 1' and 'all' dvds (which the dvd player plays AMAZINGLY)

a small menu screen should pop out with a big fat '1' in the center. using the numbered buttons on the remote, adjust it to whichever...Read more

Is it a piece of cutting edge electronics no, but it does the job. Its like all the chinese goods low rent, but it works. I needed to watch my Mcleods Daughters DVDs from down under and it works like a charm and for the money even with the shipping who can complain. If it bombs out I will just get another one or see whats out at that time. If you need to watch overseas DVDS roll the dice I did and now I'm watching my show.
