A very good buy

The Cyberhome CH-DVD 300 is a very compact DVD/CD player with progressive scan and the ability to play a wide variety of discs. For under $40 new and about $20 used, this player is a very good choice if space limitations are an issue. It comes with a full-function remote control, S-video, composite video, and component video outputs. Early versions of this unit only supported one version of the RGB output signal but later ones allow switching between the two most common component video RGB formats.

I use this player on my sailboat where space in the nav station is at a premium. One caution: these players do have a history of suddenly dying (my first one did after about five years of use) but given the low price you can consider the player to be a "consumable." I've now purchased a couple of back-up units on eBay so I can slip in another one without modifying the cabinetry on the boat.

All in all a very good deal ... now when will Cyberhome make a compact Blu-ray player!?

Cyberhome CH-DVD 300 DVD Player

The Cyberhome CH-DVD 300 and its clone the CH-DVD 320 are very good performers that were sold in large quantities in big box retail stores. They perform smoothly and are compact in size. The owner's manual is well-written and informative, but NOTE that the remote control is an absolute necessity; you cannot set up these players without the remote. If you don't have one, you may not be able to use it on your TV, or its functions may be limited; for instance, if by chance yours comes set up by its prior owner for progressive scan, but you can't use that feature, you'll have an unusable picture unless you can set up the unit properly with its remote.

These Cyberhome units can also be easily set up to play DVDs from any region in the world, making DVDs from Britain, Europe, Asia and Australia/New Zealand playable on your regular US television. There are two different methods for doing this, depending on when your particular unit was built; 2004 or so is when they seem to have changed over. These Cyberhomes convert from PAL to NTSC on the fly if properly set up. All this setup requires the remote, too.

The downside: there is no technical support from Cyberhome any more. In fact, it appears that there is no Cyberhome company any more.

Good DVD player

This is my 3rd CyberHome CH-DVD 300 player. I had one and love it. I bought 2 more for my relative and they also loved it. This DVD can read both PAL and NTSC format.

Cyberhome has good quality in playing copied DvDs

I bought a number of copied DvDs and had trouble playing them on several brand name DvD players. CyberHome player was recommended and so I bought one and now of the problems which occurred on other brand name players were evident. Somehow the CyberHome player is able to better sync on copied DvDs.

Ciberhome CH-DVD 300 player

This is a great little DVD player and is very compact. The remote has a lot of buttons but you get use to it after a while. Don't buy a used one unless the remote is included. You can't effectively operate the player without it. On screen menue only.
