Product Description:
Offering a downright amazing feature set for such an affordable price, Cyber Home's compact CH-DVD 300S makes a rich and promising starter player. You get everything from top-of-the-line progressive-scan component-video outputs to built-in MP3 decoding, JPEG image viewing, and 3:2 pulldown for viewing movies in their native frame rates. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the CH-DVD 300S stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. With 3:2 pulldown support, the player corrects for a common distortion in DVDs when 24 frames-per-second movies make the leap to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown removes the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. A set of multichannel analog-audio outputs routes decoded Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to your audio/video receiver. Dolby Digital and DTS signals can also be channeled through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and optical) for direct connection to a surround-featured AV receiver. The player has left/right analog audio outputs, too. The CH-DVD 300S is compatible with DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW media, handling just about any recordable disc you give it. It can even play both PAL- and NTSC-formatted discs, handy when viewing non-region-specific European discs. Other features include motion zoom, screen saver, last-disc resume, and repeat play. What's in the Box DVD player, AC power cord, multi-function remote control, remote batteries, and a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect.

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 und 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.
Comment: not very consistent Rating:
i bought 2 of these dvd players and shockingly neither are alike one is loud loads very slow and skips on half the dvds the other a 3 month older model has a diffrent menu loads fast and noisefree and doesnt skip so it appears to be incosistent construction some have working ones some dont i guess u get what u pay for amazon needs to carry sanyo dvd players i bought the 59 dollar sanyo dwm400 progressive scan dvd player and its a dream it plays every dvd the other ones wouldnt even really scratched ones and the audio and video is superb sanyos 59 dollar dvd player seems to outperform jvc phillips panasonic rca magnavox and all other brands with dvd players at that price its even got a nice remote with big buttons and its setup nice and it looks well too so thats my advice unless all u have is 40 go with the cyberhome and hope u get a working one but if u pay just 20 more u can get a nicer fullsize dvd player like the sanyo thatll last so far its picture and sounds alot better and it hasnt skipped or dropped frames on movies the other dvd players couldnt even play and if u cant find the sanyo dwm 400 then buy the zenith thin line of dvd players sold here on amazon for 50 bucks i believe its also a quality dvd player thats only a little bit more in cost but is a much nicer dvd player that doesnt skip and is a brand u can actuall get ahold of if u have a question
Comment: Buyer Beware Rating:
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.
