I bought one just before Christmas, little present for myself, was very impressed. Had top reveiws by 4 different mags, so thought cant be that bad. Really easy to use and good remote. Plays all my mp3 disks, vcd`s, cd/rw and cd/r. only thing i didnt like about it was the menu system when you put in a mp3 disc. It will load the disc as single files and not in folders, not a major problem, but a bit of a pain looking thru 150+ files for a couple of songs. Bought mine from Richer Sounds for £99. Excellent value. Great features fot the money, some more expensive dvd players dont have half the features...can recommend it.

Be carefull WHERE you buy it. I bought one from www.dvdplayers.co.uk. It quickly went wrong and the vendor told me to phone Cyberhome directly to get a replacemet. Cyberhome sent me a reconditioned machine as a replacement. I complained, they twice said they were sorry and would send a new machine. Then then twice sent reconditioned machines.

Does not say much for the company.

To be fair, when it worked it was good, and the general opinion is it`s a good machine. Just get it someplace that will support you if it goes bang. WH Smith sell it.

Got mine from WHSmiths. Haven`t had a single problem yet, but useful to have the option to take it back to the shop and bang on the desk in case anything does. It`s not the most reliable machine in the world, as you can probably tell by checking these forums, but if you get a good`un they`re brilliant for the price.
