Digital camera reviews of Cyberhome Region Free 110/220v Progressive Scan DVD Player, CH-DVD 300
Digital camera Review: Cyberhome is a good player. Plays anything you throw in it...
Summary: 5 Stars
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 they are also priced high. So it makes sense to buy some player like this. Even if something goes wrong say after year or two you can still buy another such player at that time. Since the technology keeps improving minute by minute and prices keep falling, the odds of your finding a better player for a better price when you need it are going to be higher. Specially makes sense when this product has been working well for last two and a half years and the competitor players on market were priced at double its price.
cheers!
Digital camera Review: Cyberhome went bankrupt

Please note that it is no longer possible to get ANY customer support, warranty coverage nor even downloadable manuals or upgrades. Purchasing a Cyberhome model of any kind is a poor proposition, owing to their high rate of failure, and, oh, that detail about their being out of business.

Digital camera Review: Does exactly as it stated, but there are a few concerns.
Summary: 4 Stars
As you may or may not know, Cyberhome actually went out of business. Something with the legality of their products was awry and they were more or less shutdown by the government. It is important to know that anything you purchase with the Cyberhome name is not only no longer under any type of warranty; it may be also hard to get it repaired or even replaced at a reasonable cost. This DVD player does exactly what I want it to do. It plays any region or format of disc with no fuss at all. It was decently priced for a multi-regional DVD player. But it also makes a lot of God-Awful noises sometimes. I am not really sure how long it will last, but somehow I feel as if it won't last as long as other players I've had. I reccommend this so highly only because now I can watch The Mighty Boosh and Darkplace on my TV!Digital camera Review: Does not do the tasks as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a movie maniac and was looking for real multi-region DVD player. I was hooked on the advertising of this player and bought it for using in my bedroom with old "Sharp" TV. I did see it works with region 1 (USA) and 2 (Europe) and was happy. Then I decided to add the same DVD player to my living room as a sidekick to my "Panasonic" (region 1) DVD player. That was a moment of true. I was experimenting with 2 of "Cyberhome Multi Region Code Free Region Free Zone Free All Region 110/220v Dvd Player w/ Progressive ScanComponent" that I bought on Amazon. Result:
Component Video connected to my TV Sharp "Aquos" appears in Black & White only, S-Video shows the picture, but instead of sound there came out permanent humming static. Finally I found out it works only with Composit Video & Composit Audio. It does not show the subtitles on Region 3 (Asia), so it useless, you can't understand a word. It does not play Region 5 (Russia, China). The massage posted on the TV screen says "Region error". The quallity of picture is average as I compared it with my "Panasonic" (with Component Video connection). The flaw is upsetting me.
