Summary: Inexpensive but has problems playing many movies.
Review: I bought this as a birthday gift for my sister as her first DVD player. I figured it would be an ok player to last a short time until she could afford one on her own. Unfortunately it had problems playing about 1/2 of the movies we tried in it. It would frequently freeze up on a frame for a few moments before continuing, or lock up on that frame altogether without continuing. The latter happend on the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition. When it did lock up, very often it would take a long time for the remote control or the front panel buttons to respond again, such as to go back to the main menu or even eject the disk. The same disks had no problems playing in another DVD player, so it was definitely the players fault. I'm exchanging this one for a different brand.

Summary: Straight out of the box, it works fantastic for all formats.
Review: I read several reviews on more websites than Amazon. Everyone was reporting the Black and White issue. When I brought my DVD player home and plugged it in, I attached the cords as if I was hooking up a VCR using the 3 plugin's in a row. "WRONG"! Put in a DVD and turned it on. Black and White... I found this amusing. However, when all else fails, read the instructions. I reconnected the player according to the instructions using the yellow video plug in the yellow connector and the red and white in the audio connectors and we have wonderful color and audio. I am very happy with the results of this player. Using the audio jacks I connected the dvd player to my stereo and all sound comes through our surround sound and/or stereo speakers.This player supports all the formats listed on the box wonderfully. I have tried the following DVD's and CD's and all worked great.
Regular store bought DVD's.
Home burned DVD-R and DVD-RW's video's.
Nero Created SVD to includes chapter selection support
Data DVD and CD which contains mpg videos. Each mpg video plays one right after another or you can select from a menu index which one to play. This includes the mpg videos created on my digital camera and copied to a DVD as a storage medium.
DVD-R burned in my burner using home video in avi format
CD with 200 plus MP3's burned on it. Displays index for picking songs individually or you can select to play random. Since my DVD player is connected to a stereo through the audio outputs, it doubles as a device for listening to songs through the stereo speakers.
Plays regular music cd's.
We will see how this holds up over a period of time, but I have an APEX DVD player that is over 3 years old and still works just fine. It was one of the first APEX DVD players that was marketed for $80.

Summary: Quick Review of Cyberhome CH-DVD 320S
Review: OK, here's the sneak peak on the Target CH-DVD 320S, which I assume is the same as the CH-DVD 300S that everybody else is selling, but with a different model number to protect those "low price guarantees". As you will see, the firmware for this unit clearly identifies itself as "300". I hooked up the player with the S-video output (it also has component), and the coaxial digital audio (it does not have opticial). First, "close tray", "menu", "1", "9", does lead you to the screen where you can set region coding. I don't know if it works or not, since I only have region 1 disks. Also on that screen is a complete run-down of the HW and FW. I would be interested in what a CH-DVD 300S reports here. The CH-DVD 320S reports this:
MPEG FW 300.B.20.A
MPEG HW DB-B2-V01
SERVO FW CB36260
SERVO HW D07V1.1_
VEND HYOP300U
VENDVER 208.F I put Terminator II in, my standard dual layer test disk. Video quality seemed a tad poorer than I was used to, but not objectionable to this mere mortal. I saw very very occasional minor tearing of the video, and the audio seemed just slightly (but no objectionally) out of sync. It reminded me a lot of what I've seen from PC DVD players. Its going to be fine for the wife's bedroom TV. Then I stuck a DVD-R that had been "backed up" using DVD XCopy. As Arnold says "No Problemo". I don't have any DVD+R blanks, so I was unable to try a DVD+R. Then I grabbed a CD-R that I had made that contained an MPEG-1 video stream. Mind you, this CD-R is *not* in VCD format. Its just a ISO-9660 data disk with a file on it "dsdsads.mpg". The player gave me a file browser menu, and when I selected that file it played the video. AFAIK, this is great because its a lot harder to master a proper VCD than it is to just dump an MPG file onto a CD-R. Then I grabbed a CD-R with some .mp3's on it that I got from a person on this list. Again, I got the file browser menu. But when I hit play, the audio played at 2X speed. The MP3's on this
disk were mastered at 64kbit/sec. So don't do that. Then I grabbed a commercial MP3 CD that I bought from BooksOnTape where the MP3's were mastered at 128kbit/sec. No problemo. Then I grabbed a homemade MP3 CD-R (Pink Floyd, the greatest band ever) where the MP3's were mastered at 128kbit/sec. No problemo. I didn't have a VBR MP3 disk handy, so I did not test that. Then I grabbed a CD-R full of .JPG's. It gives you the file browser window and when you hit play it does a slideshow with those. Nice. The manual does not mention DiVX/MPEG-4 support, and I didn't have a DiVX disk handy to see if its there as a secret feature. I ran out of time, and had to wrap this thing back up since its an XMAS present. The only real question on these is "how long before they go belly up"? I've had a high end Sony and a mid-range Philips DVD player die on me already (I was an early DVD adopter). I came to the conclusion that its stupid to pay big bucks for a player that won't last anyhow. If this one lasts 1 year, I will be happy.

Summary: Great... for Black & White... won't play color!
Review: My experience has been identical with other users mentioned here. The unit worked fine for a brief time, then quit playing in color - showing only black & white. I contacted CyberHome and they swapped out the unit for a new one, not super fast, but in a matter of weeks at least. Amazingly... new unit did the same after a coupleof weeks. Finally it made a popping noise and died all together. Can't see how they can stay in business like this!

Summary: IT IS REGION FREE - IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE RE-SETTING
Review: A great little machine. Quite incredible value for less than $40US. I bought it for its PAL/NTSC conversion ability and it surpassed all my expectations. The converted images are superb. When you first buy it, the out-of-the-box settings are configured so that the machine can only handle Region 1 discs (if you bought it in North America). It only requires a simple re-setting of the Region code, which can be done using the remote. 1. Switch player on, making sure that there's no disc in the tray.
2. Close tray.
3. Using the remote control, key in the following: MENU, 1, 9 (Note: just type in these three all in a row. Don't wait for anything to come up after just entering MENU because nothing will happen until you type in the 1 then the 9)
4. A menu will appear that shows the region option near the bottom of the screen. Arrow up or down to highlight the REGION title.
5. Press ENTER. The Region number setting will change to a blank entry "-"
6. Using the numbers keypad, type in the number 0 (this is the code for region free and will let you play discs from anywhere in the world without having to change the setting for each disc from a different region)
7. Press ENTER again to save the setting.
8. Press OPEN/CLOSE to switch off the menu. The door will open for you to put a disc in the tray.

Summary: All region NTSC PAL
Review: This machine is perfect to me in terms of region free and the ability to play both formats. There is hack code available over the Internet and I personally crack it into a multi-region DVD player. Searching the DVD hack code website, you will realize how hot this model is among other region free DVDs. You will find tons of feedbacks left on the forums to recommend this model and there's no need to talk about it.
The point is. If you are looking for a $43 DVD player and expect to perform like a $275 one, this model will definitely disappointed you. However, if you're looking for a powerful region free plus dual format DVD player, you will hardly find one better than this. P.S. I didn't have the problem with black and white. I bought 3 of them, hacked into region free and gave them as holiday gifts. None of them have that problem. Maybe I was lucky. But so far I didn't see any complaints regarding to this issue on the related forum but Amazon. I will keep eye on it and update.

Summary: Affordable and loaded with functionality
Review: I purchased the CyberHome 300 nearly a month ago and I couldn't be happier. It was purchased from Wal-mart for $43 and was a replacement for the $64 namebrand purchased the same day. Through reading the manual of the more expensive player, I discovered that it only played dvd's, kodak picture disks and mp3's, which was a disappointment. So, I did a little research and discovered that the Cyberhome was a great little player. Not only did it perform all the functions of the more expensive model, it also could play VCD's and SVCD's. VCD's and SVCD's were the main reason why I wanted a dvd player. I went back to the store, exchanged players ( got a $21 refund also)and gave the Cyberhome a try. It played nearly everything I threw at it. Dvd's, vcd's, svcd's, picture disks, mp3 disk, audio disks, CD-RW's, those black cd-r's some people complain about and even some music videos I had just saved to disk as data. It far exceeded my expectations and it gets daily use by everyone in the family. I wanted to purchase a few more to give away as gifts for christmas but, there were none left to be had. They went on sale for $29.99 and $34 at Radio Shack, Target and other stores the day after Thanksgiving and were snapped up within minutes. I visited 7 stores searching for them and even when they weren't the lowest priced dvd player, I noticed customers asking to purchase the Cyberhome 300, specifically. I'm just hoping that they'll reappear for $30 before christmas, so I can get one for each bedroom and the relatives.

Summary: Easy, afforadable, & functional
Review: I promised the kids a special prize for doing well on a test. With much research on where to spend my cash I decided to try this DVD player. What a hero I have become, not only with the kids but my husband as well. This is such an easy player to hook up and use plus afforadable I am not freeaked-out to let the kids use it. And because of its size (about an 8x11 piece of paper, I'm not kidding!) I can move it around easly from room to room. Easy to use, Plays Well and Affordable what more could you want at this price!
