| Review | Rating | Last Updated | PIECE OF CRAP
This is the biggest piece of junk I'v ever bought..I took it back 2 days after Xmas to KMArt (where I bought it from) and they tell me "no exchanges" even tho it's defective. I am going to go 'raise cane' in order to get an exchange, but don't buy Cyberhome unless you don't intend to use it. The battery has to be taken out and even tho the unit is off it still uses juice so you hav to keep charging it. Then when you go to take the battery(s) out, the door feels like it will break. Total crap. I hav done some research and Memorex seems to have a good product for about the same price range. Wish me luck. | 1 | 817 days ago | Cyberhome DVD player
Dont buy. I had it 2 months when it stopped working. Its the plug when you insert the power. Its broken, and the battery will not charge, it looks like the other connectors (video) are broken too. Very cheap | 2 | 817 days ago | Wish we would have chosen a different brand
We left all our cords and adapter on an airplane and they couldn't find them, so we tried to find a new adapter to hook it up in the car and no place around had one that would fit. Lots of places sold some that fit most DVD players but not this one. So we went to the Cyberhome webiste and with shipping it cost $55 just for the one adapter, I felt that was rediculously over priced. The average price of the adapter that fit most other DVD players was only $15. Next time we get a DVD player I will makes sure we can easily find new accessories to fit it so we don't have to spend a fortune. | 2 | 817 days ago | Excellent widescreen portable region-free DVD player (with remote code)
The CH-LDV 712 is a very sleek player with a 7inch LCD. The remote has mute, volume controls, brightness and language/subtitle controls among others. You can turn off the LCD if you use it to listen to CDs.
<br />
<br />Here is the Region code hack found from VideoHelp.
<br />1. Turn on your dvd player using the remote control
<br />2. open the tray
<br />3. press the "stop" button on your remote
<br />4. enter 1999 using the remote & a special menu will pop up.
<br />5. select the region code as indicated using the remote (set it to ALL)
<br />6. confirm it, using "enter" key on remote
<br />7. leave the menu using the "return" button on your remote
<br />8. close the tray
<br />
<br />It is great for learning foriegn languages and you can find non-region 1 discs at Amazon's other sites such as France and Germany. | 5 | 817 days ago | Flimsy button and does not play some DVD's
BUYING ANY PORTABLE DVD PLAYER IS A REAL GAMBLE. I RECOMMEND BUYING ONE FROM SOMEWHERE WHERE IT IS EASY TO RETURN IN CASE YOU HAVE PROBLEMS.
<br />
<br />You should be able to find this at a much lower price. Most stores sell it for around $129.
<br />
<br />Buying a portable DVD player is a real gamble. You might buy this and not have any problems at all. Someone else might buy it and have all kinds of problems. It is not just Cyberhome that has varying quality, it is all brands. If you look up the reviews of other portable DVD players on Amazon, you will see that they all get positive and negative reviews.

<br />This unit looks cool and has a very nice, sturdy metal case. But, the latches are made of plastic and very flimsy. The button that opens the door broke on my first unit, and I had to replace the unit. On the new unit, the button looks just as weak and I would expect that it would break eventually if I kept it.
<br />
<br />The biggest problem I had is that it would not play all my DVD's. I am talking about standard, store-bought DVD's (not DVD-R's or RW's). For instance, it did not play Monsters, Inc. I could not see anything wrong with the disc, and it played OK on all my other DVD players. It would not play about 30% of my DVD's.
<br />
<br />This problem with not playing certain DVD's happened on both units I had. Monsters, Inc. would not play on first unit I had, or the replacement unit. So, I returned the unit and got my money back. I will now take a gamble with some other brand.
<br />
<br />The resolution and picture quality are not great. I have not compared the picture quality of these portable DVD units, so I don't know if this is typical of all brands. But, I was a little disappointed in the picture quality, when comparing it to the screens on airplanes or in cars.
<br />
<br />The only other downside about this unit is that it does not have very many functions on the case, so you have to use the remote control if you wa | 2 | 817 days ago |
