Product Description

When you're feeling like relaxing at home, connect the CH-LDV 700B to your TV and Home Theater System - it functions just like a conventional home DVD Player, complete with Remote Control. Video and Audio cables are provided so you can quickly take advantange of the 707B's Progressive Scan Video and Digital Audio out.

Amazon.com Product Description

Watch your movies, listen to your MP3 CDs, view your digital photos, or review your camcorder footage--all from one portable device. The CyberHome CH-LDV 700B puts a world of entertainment at your fingertips, and it comes with everything you need to use it in the car or in home. Its built-in 7-inch widescreen LCD displays your favorite movies in their native aspect ratios and gives you the option to fill the screen with discs formatted in the standard 4:3 TV aspect ratio. The 480 x 234-pixel screen offers vivid images with its 300:1 contrast ratio and high, 500 cd/m2 brightness.

Choose to listen from the unit's built-in stereo speakers or its headphone jack and supplied earbud headphones. The unit's 2.5-hour battery life gives you enough juice to watch most full-length movies in a single sitting. Full format compatibility includes everything from NTSC and PAL-formatted DVD to audio CD, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, JPEG CD/Kodak Picture CD, MP3 CD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW. Taking the player on the road? Conserve batteries by plugging it into your vehicle's cigarette lighter with a supplied DC power adapter.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the CH-LDV 700B stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs when used in a home-theater environment. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The player also performs 3:2 pulldown reversal through its progressive-scan output. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Other connection options include S-video and composite-video outputs (through the unit's single minijack video output, which is switchable as an input), and a switchable minijack analog audio input/output. A minijack optical digital-audio output lets you hook the player up with your audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system to enjoy enveloping DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround from your discs. Progressive-scan, S-video, and optical digital-audio interconnects are not included with the player.

Stay away from this product.......2007-01-13

My Cyberhome portable DVD player worked for all of 1 day. It is unable to play DVDs or CDs of any type. Also, if you charge the battery according to manufacturer specs, it will completely drain out within 24 hours.

I attempted to get service from Cyberhome to no avail even though product is still under warranty. Their support number is unreachable as is their support email address. Attempts to locate the company via the web were unsuccessful.

This would have been a great product at a great price if only it had worked.

Purchase at you own risk. Check out the manufacturer web site. You have been warned.

Unreliable, No customer support.......2006-10-11

UPDATE 12/12/06
Cyberhome the company got out of the electronics business, particularly the cheap DVD player business a few months ago (and this is the reason why their site is not running anymore). You will not get any technical or warranty support for the unit if you purchase one. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

REVIEW 10/10/06
The player is relatively cheap compared to the branded ones. Works as advertised if you are lucky enough to have a "working unit".

I bought 2, one each for my two kids. One started to act weird after only a few days of use. The screen would "TURN BLACK" but you would still hear the sound playing. Initially, I thought it was my son who accidentally adjusted the brightness setting or any screen settings for that matter. I spent a good hour or two going through the other working unit and entering the same factory defaults on the other one to no avail. As a last resort, I removed the battery from the unit and placed it back in. That fixed the "BLACK SCREEN" problem temporarily because it would later come back when pressing one of the buttons of the unnit and at the same time tilting the screen (intermitent). So you have to remove the battery all over again to make it work.

If you are stuck with the unit, I would suggest not to move it around when watching a movie. The problem is actually documented on the manufacturer's web site (not accessible for the past 2-3 weeks that I checked) and the ONLY recommened fix is the same as I what I have described above.

Now my other working unit was fine. WAS in the the sense that the middle pin that plugs into the AC adaptor broke off for some reason. Wanted to get an RMA or something but it would be a miracle to try and get cutomer support from the manufacturer. I can't find any contact information at the web site at all. No phone numbers, no emails, nothing.

I'll try to get one from the retailer instead. So if I were you, look for another brand and don't get stuck with a lemon.

BUYER BEWARE! STOP and read before you buy!.......2006-08-17

We bought two cyberhome DVD players for our children to watch movies for our 8 hour drive to see family. My son's broke within days, the screen went black. Not because the battery pack was drained because it was plugged into the car. Returned that one a got another one. Again, the screen went black. Cyberhome was of NO USE at all. Finally got one that worked for more than 2 movies and my daughters broke. Not dealing with this company or product anymore, refuse to give them anymore of our money. We will purchase a Sony or other name brand BUT will definitly check customer comments before buying.

Not the greatest, but it does the job.......2005-11-06

We bought this little portable widescreen DVD player with only one purpose: helping keep our son entertained during the long plane trip abroad and back that was ahead of us in our last vacation. Granted that the 2.5 hours the battery lasts will make this more of a "last resource" rather than something you will want to use all through a flight (also, you may want to reconsider your parenting skills if you were thinking of doing that, anyway!) this portable unit works just fine.

The only "trick" we found it had was the way it got charged. You cannot charge it while a movie plays: it needs to be completely off (meaning with the screen shut AND turned off). Other than that, while not the most robust piece of electronics in our house, we're satisfied with the job it's done (so far). Would I recommend it? Well, just consider the price: if you are shopping around and you are shooting for the $150 range, at the time of this writing, this player is about the best thing you can get.

Would and HAVE recommended to friends.......2005-08-06

I have had my player for over a year and LOVE it. I use it while commuting on the bus to work, on planes, in the car for my daughter and have even used it at friends houses that don't have DVD players. It has a great screen. The other (and usually more expensive) players would have a faded look to the screen if you looked at it from the side, this one doesn't fade away, so my daughter and I can both see it no matter which angle we are looking from! I will admit, there have been times that I wish I could make the volume go up more, but overall I love this item. I have dropped it twice (quite hard by the way) and it still works. I will admit that when I purchased my first one, they gave me a dud, so maybe not all of them are perfect. But hang in there, just get it replaced or fix it if you are having problems. This is the best item and didn't cost a gazillion dollars.

Frightfully bad.......2002-11-22

...I had a pair that I bought out of desperation(a quick fix) once and consider them to be the worst of the many different ear buds I've gone through throughout the years. Tinny, with very little range or bass I refused to use them after one time.The absolute worst. If you ever think about buying these elsewhere don't bother. They are ...not worth the material they are made of. They are reallly bad.

Product Description

Widescreen format ensures that nothing is missing from your movies and with Dolby Virtual surround sound and 20 watt audio power you're in for an unmatched cinema experience. And like it's award-winning predecessors this Philips TV has been designed so beautifully you'll want to look at it even when it's switched off.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Philips 30PW6341 widescreen TV is specially formatted to match as closely as possible the original aspect ratio of your favorite movies. Its RealFlat picture tube increases viable viewing angles and reduces reflected ambient light to create a brighter and crisper image, while its 2-line digital comb filter removes blurred edges between colors and reduces dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

ActiveControl Plus+, enhanced with Digital Color Transient Improvement (CTI), Luminance Transient Improvement (LTI), and an ambient-light sensor, continuously analyzes and adjusts noise, sharpness, brightness, contrast, and color to give you the best picture in any lighting environment and condition.

A hallmark of the set, Philips' QuadraSurf remote control, lets you customize your channel surfing and TV viewing by family member or program theme. Simply use each of the 4 colored surf buttons to view up to 10 of your favorite programs by category--that's 40 total movie, sports, news, music, children's, or other programs--or by family member.

A component-video input grants optimum connection with a compatible DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. You can choose between a set of rear AV inputs and a set of side AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver.

The set features built-in stereo speakers powered by 10 watts per channel (x 2). AutoSound lets you select settings for voice, music, movies, or custom, while Dolby Virtual Surround simulates surround sound from the set's 2 speakers. A side-panel headphone jack affords private listening (headphones not included).

Other 30PW6341 features include a sleep timer, an event timer, a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, and V-Chip parental control.

Great quality- but you must like Widescreen.......2004-11-27

I just bought this TV. The price on Amazon is the best that I've been able to find. It is basically the same TV as the "HD ready" version for bout $100 less. Amazon charged $70 for delivery, but they carried it up 2 flights of stairs, so that was fair.

The picture quality for regular cable is excellent. Particularly for high end film like the Simpsons shows a remarkable difference. The sound is top quality. The controls are easy to use, and it was relatively easy to hookup.

Be warned, only buy this TV if you really love widescreen version movies. It will show all of your DVDs in a widescreen format. This may take some getting used to, as it is a different way of watching a movie. Images are more crisp, and you can see the periphery much more clearly, however, people tend be seen as "squater". Before you buy this, make sure that is what you want.

Product Description

Mustek, a worldwide known supplier of scanners in a wide range of sizes and capabilities, has prepared this scanner for you. It features a high scanning speed and outstanding quality of scanned text and images. This model meets the most critical demands and possesses a real quality from Mustek.This scanner is a great, compact tool to use at school, at home or in office.

It also includes the necessary tools for scanning photos, logos, illustrations, and text, making the possibilities for scanning and creating nearly endless.

Amazon.com Product Description

Mustek's Plug-n-Scan 600CP is compact easy-to-use scanner. The 600CP's modest profile of 16.4 by 11.1 by 2.5 inches and its light weight of 5.1 pounds is due to its compact image sensor (CIS) technology, which eliminates the need for a mirror, lens, and a separated light source. The Plug-n-Scan captures 300 x 600 dpi, 30-bit images from your originals, recognizing over 1 billion colors internally. It can enhance these images to 9,600 dpi and can save over 16 million colors, the maximum allowed by GIF or JPG file formats. The 600CP's enhanced parallel port permits a quick connection to your PC. Plus, if you're already using a parallel printer, you'll enjoy the convenience of the extra pass-through port to plug your printer into.

Direct Scan and TextBridge software accompany the 600CP and make for a painless scanning process. If you need more editing control over the 600CP's images, you can export them as needed to any TWAIN- or TWAIN32-compliant software. The inexpensive 600CP is a low-end scanner that's easy to operate. --Eli Huntington

No support, no compatability.......2002-04-26

I tried to install the drivers to 3 computers with OS's ranging from Win 98 to XP. They would not work. The only support I was able to get from the manufacturer included driver downloads and emails with troubleshooting info. Neither of these helped. My scanner still does not work and I cannot get any tech support from Mustek. This scanner I purchased is virtually useless to me and I will probably return it.

Think twice before buying this particular item.......2001-08-09

This scanner is total scrap.

Amazon says: "Easy to install and use" - it's not true. Driver installation program is random, behaves really funny on different machines.

OCR software (TextBridge) does not work at all. Well, it simulates that it's working, simulates that it's trying to recognize text... In fact, it's not recognition, it's guesswork.

I used ABBYY FineReader demo version with the same scanner and Wow! that's what I call recognition.

Dear Mustek, I do not like to pay extra dollars for scrap. Please, do not bundle such stuff anymore

Output image quality is really poor. I wish I could read somebody's comment before buying this item.

Scanner "swallows" highlites but reproduces shadows and midtones normally.

If you plan to scan fotos, but not text, forget about this scanner and avoid buying this mysticism.

If you are buying this scanner to recognize text (as I do), consider buying ABBEE Fine Reader. But, buying scanner and OCR separately doen't make sense, does it?

Isn't it wiser to search for better offer?

Decent center channel speaker.......2007-08-23

I got this to go with the nanostats in a modest surround sound setup. I found it to be a little on the week side and it took a bit of futzing with and positioning to get it to be clear and fit in the mix. Probably because it was in a drawer made for a center channel speaker, but I had to actually put some supports in to make it fire correctly forward. Taking the cover off helped too. Another problem that most people won't have is that I was moving into a place with hardwood floors, no rug, little furniture and 16 foot ceilings. All these things don't bode well for clear dialog but the Nano CC did a pretty good job.

Anyway, in the end I got it working really well and now I don't even notice it, as it should be.
