Summary: CYBER JUNK
Review: Tiltle of this review tells the whole story. Although the unit is very low priced, it still is not worth the $$$. Unit remote does not function from more than 8 feet from the player. If you have to set this unit up thru your home theater system, good luck (have your receiver manual handy) since the user manual was created it seems like in 20 minutes. On a positive note, I purchased the Norcent DP300 and the unit is awesome. Check it out and read the reviews.

Summary: Bang for your buck DVD player
Review: I recently purchased my Cyberhome 300 DVD player... and I must say, I was pleaseantly surprised. First, I was surprised to find a progressive scan DVD player... and finding one that looks and plays as slick as this one was more than I could have hoped for. I have watched more than 30 movies without so much as a hickup. Its refreshing to find a company that can offer a quality product at such a low price. I'd buy another Cyberhome product without hesitation.

Summary: Cheap but unreliable (avoid Cyberhome products)
Review: I was excited about the low price... but after 2 months I've had lots of problems. My first unit made very loud noises while playing. I returned it under warranty... The new unit I received worked for about a week and now will not play any DVDs. I have made 2 attempts to contact customer support to RMA my 2nd player and have not heard back from them.

Summary: it is NOT multisystem DVD player
Review: it's very slick, tiny, nice looking player (bought it for $43 in local WalMart).
It plays all media I tried. And all formats. Though some SVCDs showed slight A/V-asynch (on other players these disks are fine).
As to the DVD - very good player. But make sure you stick to the one system (NTSC or PAL), or buy yourself multi-system TV. Cause this player can NOT handle PAL<->NTSC conversion.
I tried several PAL DVDs (multi-zone disks) to watch on my NTSC TV. The result was horrible :(
Instead of interpolation, it just skips every 6th line (you can imagine how straight lines look like).
And it can not handle anamorphic PAL DVDs, image is stretched vertically.
One has to have PAL TV to watch PAL DVDs, I believe.
Other than that it's a good player (for $43 :)

Summary: Junk Player. I will never by this brand
Review: I ordered this player month back. After waiting for 20 days, I received the player. When I tried to play a DVD movie, only first ten minutes it played the movie in color, then color changed to pink and finally it displayed only Black and White. I called Cyberhome support, I did all kind of troubleshooting as per cyberhome supports instruction. No luck. Then I called Amazon, they said they will replace the unit. Last week I receive the my replacement unit. I think this unit is comparatively better. The reason is, it displayed the DVD movies in color for 20 to 30 minutes. And it goes to pink and finally Black and White. Today I am returning this unit also. It you check Cyberhome's web site support page, they say it you see pink are Black and White picture adjust the DVD setup. That is not true. It didn't work for the player I got it. This player is not even worth for single star.

Summary: Cyber Junk
Review: I bought this piece of crap for Christmas 5 months ago. It worked fine at first. I didn't notice a lot of noise like some of the other reviewers. Now it has conveniently gone to pot just shortly after the warranty has run out. When I put a DVD in it won't read it. The menu alternates between black and white & the normal screen. It won't read any DVD's I own, even a brand new one. I have tried checking connections to ensure they aren't loose, but no luck. After reading other reviews I see others have had very similar problems. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: This player is not region free, as some have claimed. It had trouble playing certain foreign and indie DVDs (not DVD-Rs, mind you) from day one. Some disks just wouldn't play at all, even though they played fine in other players. After 5 months (not long after the warranty ended), the player completely crashed. Won't play anything now. If it does play, it stops after the 4th or 5th chaper - just freezes and has to be ejected and reloaded to even get the menu. Tried emailing the manufacturer and predictably they never answered. In short, this thing plays okay (and just okay) until the warranty is up.

Summary: Would not recommend!
Review: I don't normally review products, but, as I was scanning for a replacement for this POS, I found it for sale here at Amazon and thought that I may save someone else the headache. After being used for a total of about 12 hours, this player stopped working completely. It decided to hold my DVD hostage, refusing to either play it or open the disc tray. After trying every resource I could think of, I finally extracted my DVD with a screwdriver. Luckily, I got the disc out clean, since it's worth more than this junk player. Spend the extra money for a brand with actual customer service.

Summary: Excellent one if you buy the right one
Review: I brought 2 CH-DVD 300S from Sears the other day. One of them had
10S bios version (if you look at the bottom bar code there
is info on the date of manufacture and bios details)
and the other had 18S bios. While the 10s bios one sucks (gives loud noise and hangs the
system or just plays the dvd and does not respond any commands,
bad picture quality), the other nes works perfectly well. I believe most of them for whom it never worked got the inferior
ones (older bios, old chips etc). Buy the ones which have
manufactured date after April 04 and with bios 18S or above. The 18s bios versino one works perfectly well: DVD's DVD+R -R of various brands, VCDs, Audio
CD,s CD containing jpeg photos, a cd containing mpeg files,
Dolby digital audio is fair enough, the picture is
fair enough for the price I paid for them. If you are
looking for one with all region, one that works all
around the world (both voltage and region code), this is
the player to buy for price to performance. It beats Apex,
sanyo players in price/performance provided you got the right
working one.

Summary: planned obsolecence or just crappy parts?
Review: the reason i give it 2 stars is that its a pretty cool little unit, until it goes away
its just a damn shame that in our use and abuse, rape and pillage, disposible material culture that cyberhome takes it to a new level by giving such a short lifespan to an otherwise useful piece of equipment
i dont care if its only 40 bucks
what is the point? oh i know, i know, pushing more product
but comeon, give us a year at least
mine worked great for 4 months
if you already have this unit or are gonna buy one anyway, here is a work of advice...
unplug the unit when you are not using it
the unit draws almost as much power when its off, as when its on
my friend does this with his and it has lasted over a year
