Summary: Great Little Player
Review: These are great little players. We found ours at Menards the day after Thanksgiving. I though for the price they would stink. We bought two just to try and have never had a problem. We read a lot of reviews and some were bad, but we never have had a problem. I even liked them so much, I was looking for a cd or mp3 player for the garage and they were all over $50 for anything half way decent. We couldn't be the price, so I bought another cyberhome to play MP3's in the garage. I have had saw dust all over the DVD player and still have not had a problem.

Summary: Major flaw
Review: This is a very noisy machine when a disc is playing. The racket ruins the experience of using this otherwise remarkable unit. My six year old persuaded me to keep it for him because "I like the noise it makes, Daddy."

Summary: Beware of the higher cost of the lower price.....
Review: This player is a very cute little package for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the exterior design quality isn't reflected in the interior components. So.....I'm sending this back! I viewed my first movie last night. The picture was inconsistent and the drive was *very* noisy. I also found the sound quality to be poorer than my 1988 VCR. The second DVD I attempted to view froze up in the first 5 minutes. Not a positive experience.

Summary: works until the warranty runs out
Review: We bought this dvd player just before Christmas, and it worked pretty well until the warranty expired (3months). It started to skip and have jerky playback on all movies. Even brand new flawless dvd's only play part way before it stops working correctly. It also gives off a lot of heat, and with a (big)fan running on it constantly, we do get extra play time before it has problems. Overall it has been a waste of our money, and we should have gotten something higher quality. You get what you pay for, and this is junk.

Summary: Doesn't Work for Some DVDs
Review: I bought one a few months ago and tried to use it to play the DVDs I have. For some DVDsm it plays fine; but for others, it either fails to start or freezes in the middle of a movies after about 30 minutes - very annoying. Yes, it is cheap. But I have learned it's a mistake for me to have bought this one. Now, I have to buy another one that really works.

Summary: Somewhat unique problem
Review: I have played many discs, different formats all played fine EXCEPT one DVD movie (Adam's Rib - Hepburn, Tracy) that gave me trouble. The picture is fine but the audio is absent. Plays like a silent movie. CC works fine.
I tried two different copies of this DVD, both originals - same problem.
The movie plays fine on my other DVD player with audio. Can anyone clue me in?

Summary: Decent Inexpensive Player
Review: I happened to be in the market for a small, cheap DVD player and found this model at Best Buy for only $30. At that price, I figured I had little to lose. While I've only had it a few weeks and run only 8-10 hours of DVDs through it, so far so good. On the plus side, it's played everything OK. But when I compare its image quality with my Toshiba player (3 yrs old), the Cyberhome just isn't as sharp, nor does it give colors the rich, saturated look that I like. So, if you're looking for a cheap player and don't mind giving up some image quality compared to the Sonys and Toshibas and Panasonics, you're likely to be happy. As for the machine's longevity, who knows?

Summary: Always check the warranty!
Review: Mp3s took a while to load, and there was no way to use the remote without staring at it for five minutes, but otherwise, everything was fine... until it broke JUST after 3 months of use -- no power would come into the unit all of a sudden. I called customer service and found out that it would cost more than the price of the unit just for labor.HERE'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT:
After reading tons of customer reviews of all different DVD players, the conclusion I've come to is that if you spend under $200, you pretty much either get lucky and get a working unit, or you don't. Therefore, now that I'm shopping for my new one, I am ONLY looking at units with a one-year parts AND labor warranty. That way, I'm guaranteed to get at least a year out of the unit, which is better that it dying after 3 months. Then if it lasts longer, it's gravy.

Summary: Awesome DVD
Review: I bought this player from BestBuy.com and so far it is amazing. It can read DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, Audio CD, CD-R, MP3 files and even video files burned as a data DVD. Very small and sleek equipment. I read some of the other reviews for this product on Amazon and I cannot believe there are that many pathetic, illeterate idots who cannot read a few simple clear instructions in the manual on how to hook-up he DVD player properly to the TV. Great product
Highly recommended.
