Summary: Odd-looking but plays great!
Review: Someone gave me this player as a gift two years ago, and when I saw it I thought it looked rather strange. But I've never had any problems with it; it plays DVD's, MP3s, CD-RW's, etc., even VCD's just fine. If you're on a budget and need a small space-saver that's dependable and can play most anything, this is definitely one to consider.

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: There's a lot to like about this DVD player - it's very portable and comes with a box/packaging that makes it easy to pack up and take with you. The features are comparable to much higher priced players. However, now the bad news. The player functioned well the first couple of times I used it but its performance has steadily gone down hill. You put a disk in and it spins and spins and can't read it and will then say "no disk". Frequently, if you try to shut the power off at the unit or with the remote to restart it, it will NOT EVEN POWER DOWN. You end up having to unplug it to cut the power. I have taken "problem disks" to my other DVD player which is an inexpensive Sony unit and the disks play without a hitch. Stay away from this unit. All the portability and functions in the world can't compensate for a DVD player that can't even play disks.

Summary: Cyberhome Prism
Review: This is a great dvd player, especially for the money. BUT, IT IS NOT READY TO PLAY OUT OF THE BOX! You have to go to the cyberhome.com websight and burn two disks from their download section. It is pretty easy to do. Follow the instructions and play the burned cds and all the problems past reviewers had will go right away. It is small and plays everything you can think of once set up correct.

Summary: Owned it for a year
Review: This is a very cool looking and space efficient dvd player, especially if you don't have the traditional home theatre shelving in which all the equipment is identical and fits in a slim shelf. This can sit out and look cool. It works as well as all normal dvd players and is good enough for average user.

There are 2 rather key problems though. First, there is no display to tell you what track or where you are in the movie. Since this plays cd's I bought it as a cd player too, but you can never tell what track you're on. The second thing is this keeps the cd spinning as long as it's on. you have to shut it off to stop that.

If these aren't problems, it definately works fine and looks cool.

Summary: Great little player
Review: We had two major needs - one for compactness, and one for the capacity to play many different formats. This little player more than met my expectations, and as a bonus, I found it immediately easy to use. Even if you have no experience setting up equipment, the instructions are clear, and you'll find you can carry this little unit from place to place and get it ready to go in seconds. We originally got it for a guest room, but I've used it in the kitchen and garage as well. Everyone in our family is very pleased with it.

Summary: awsome player!
Review: We love this compact size DVD player. It may be small, but it plays just as well as the larger and more expensive models. I bought this player for my daughter (a college student) for her birthday. She loved it! It was small and easy to hook up to her TV--She didn't even read the directions! Her friends were impressed with the unit and they watched lots of movies! (wonder when they had time to study!) One reviewer stated that it worked good at first and then they started having problems. She has not had any problems--so far. Maybe they got a bad unit. Its great to take on vacations because of its small size and easy hook-up. No need to rent movies at the hotels(at $ per movie)when this is so easy to bring along with you! I will probably be buying more of these units as my other children head off to college. We are thoroughly impressed with this player!

Summary: What a great item!
Review: Words cannot express how pleased I am with this purchase. This small unit isn't missing any of the bells and whistles of its larger counterparts. From opening the box to popping in my first DVD, the set-up took 4 minutes maximum! I am so pleased. This unit is more or less ready to go out of the box. You won't even need to buy batteries for the remote. I highly recommend this product!

Summary: sneaky
Review: you may think this is the whole package but look carefully there's no screen! i was almost fooled by this until one of my friends set the record straight. you have to have your own screen thats why its so cheap there are way better ones out there the only reason i put one star is because they dont allow zero stars this is the worst product eva believe me i know!
