Product Description:

Offering a downright amazing feature set for such an affordable price, Cyber Home's compact CH-DVD320 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-DVD320 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-DVD320 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, multifunction remote control, remote batteries, and a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect.

Comment: No Problems Rating:
If you're afraid of buying this cheap DVD player because you've never heard of CyberHome, don't worry. There is nothing wrong with the player or the company. The player works fine. It's nice and compact. It even has component video outputs. It plays VCD and SVCD format too. That comes in handy if you have videos on your hard drive, but not a DVD burner. Just burn to CD using the VCD or SVCD format and it will play in the CyberHome player. But, I guess the main feature of this player is the price.

One downside... I've discovered is that there aren't any universal remote controls that work with this device yet. You have to actually use the remote that comes with in the box. If you lose it, a new one costs $10. CyberHome tech support said that the newest Radio Shack universal remote control comes with a code that can control this device. This is a big deal to some people. I would like a universal remote too, but I find that there are always a button or two missing on the universal remotes and I end up needing the factory remote anyway.

Comment: Great little dvd player that will play ANYTHING it is given! Rating:
This player is small on price but big on options! When using import dvd's,it will automatically adjust to the NTSC(US und Canada)or PAL(Europe) formats. You can also play region 2 und 3 dvd's by leaving the tray closed (with no disc) und entering: MENU,1,9. A new menu will appear that lets you select any region in the world! VERY COOL option for someone like me who orders from Amazon.co.uk all the time! I will be buying another one to replace my 100.00 lame-o region 1 ONLY Sony player.

Comment: Noisy Little Thing Rating:
It does play DVD's without a problem and is very compact but it is so noisy that it's not really worth it. I'm going to get rid of this one and spend an extra $30 for a quieter player.
