Mostly ok August 19, 2004

For the price this player works well, but it has it's problems.
Battery drain is an issue with this player. I've seen it publicized on the company's website that users should remove the battery when not using the player. It seems there's a problem with the internal charger and the shutoff switch. The shutoff switch does not completely shut off the player, and a charge still trickles through, and if the battery becomes completely discharged, the internal charger will no longer charge the internal battery. And I have had this problem, learning about it too late.
Cyberhome does offer an external charger dock and "reconditioner", but I have yet to try that, but haven't run into any situations where I needed battery power lately.
The screen seems to offer fuzzy resolution, normal for the players of it's price range, no better, or no worse.
But it's superior when hooked to a TV, I was very impressed with that.
So for the price, it's ok - just get an external battery, or try the company's external dock.
Cheaply Made March 13, 2005

I was looking for a cheap portable DVD player that the kids could carelessly handle without real worries so I purchased the Cyberhome 700B. Right out of the box, the unit seems a little flimsy to me. The included options are pretty extensive which is why I'd give this unit 3 stars. The biggest issue, besides the battery problem that others have mentioned, is that when a DVD is placed in the unit, it begins to spin and it makes a strange noise. I figured out that the disk is off balance and the unit will not read the disk until it's balanced. I do this by tilting the unit slightly. It becomes quiet and then reads the disk. This is a minor problem. The picture is quite good when you raise the saturation and contrast levels. Probably would look elsewhere if I was buying again.
 Crapped out after 7 months February 14, 2005

We bought this for our toddler last summer. It was great for a while, but recently the speakers just quit working. So no audio. Then is stopped reading discs consistently or would quit in the middle of playing. The final blow came today when I turned it on and it wouldn't even boot up. I checked on getting it repaired by the manufacturer, but they want $100 plus shipping to look at it. We are going to take our $100 and spend it on another brand.
 Do Not Buy This! April 22, 2006

From day one it never worked properly. Would take several reboots to read a DVD. Had terrible problems blacking out or going dead if the power cord was jiggled. It was still under warranty, so we sent it back and the manufacturer sent us a new one. Same problems with the new one. Battery life is not long enough to play a movie all the way through. Very cheaply made. Don't waste your money on it.
Cyberhome knowingly sold faulty units! September 7, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD player when I was on holiday in Florida in 2004. It packed up after a week and I returned it for a replacement. When I got back home the device packed up again after a couple of weeks.
Unknown to me at the time these units were being sold with a known fault with the battery. Cyberhome thought by adding an addendum to the units they were STILL shipping out faulty that they would not have to fix the fault.
The problem with the battery was it became "dead" if left in the unit and allowed to drain. When this happened the battery could no longer be charged with the supplied charger.
Again Cyberhome provided a "fix" rather than recall the faulty units and give the customers a fully working model. They let customers know there was a battery conditioner which would revive the battery to it's normal glory BUT, it wasn't free, you had to pay for it!
As you can guess the customers weren't happy and caused a fuss which forced Cyberhome to provide them for free.
I still think the units should have been completely replaced but at least this was better than nothing.
As if things couldn't get worse, because I was a visitor to the USA, I had no rights according to Cyberhome to have my unit repaired. They wouldn't even send a battery conditioner to my address in the UK...their excuse?...."We cannot ship to the UK". Where have you ever heard such rubbish? Their products are made in Taiwan!
I put it down to lazy and bad customer service and I will not deal with this company again. I hope whoever reads this will have the same sentiments as me.
To this day, 2 years on I have had 3 weeks use of a device which cost me more than $200.
Thanks for nothing Cyberhome. I hope your company crashes to it's knees, where it belongs!
