A big 7" LCD screen gives you crystal-clear video in Widescreen 16: 9 format. The screen also adjusts to fit movies recorded for standard 4: 3 TV format. Built-in stereo speakers and headphones jack provide realistic sound. And best of all, a 4-hour battery gives you enough power for two full-length movies.When you're feeling like relaxing at home, connect the CH-LDV 712 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 advantage of the 712's Progressive Scan Video and Digital Audio out.

Amazon.com

Watch movies, listen to MP3 CDs, view digital photos, or review camcorder footage--all from one portable device. The CyberHome CH-LDV 712 puts a world of entertainment at your fingertips, and it comes with everything needed to use it in the car or in home. Its built-in seven-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.

Choose to listen from the unit's built-in stereo speakers or its headphone jack and supplied earbud headphones. Best of all, perhaps, the unit's four-hour battery life gives you enough juice to watch two full-length movies. Full format compatibility includes everything from standard NTSC DVD-Video to PAL- and P-SCAN-formatted discs, audio CD, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, JPEG CD, MP3 CD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the CH-LDV 712 stands ready to deliver the full potential of 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 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 connections include S-video and composite-video outputs (composite-video is switchable as an input), and a switchable analog audio input/output. An optical digital-audio output lets you hook the player up with an audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system to enjoy immersive DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround from your discs (optical digital-audio interconnect not included).

What's in the Box
DVD player, headphones, AC adapter, automobile DC power adapter, remote control, stereo analog-audio output cable, composite-video output cable, and a user's manual.

2 out of 5 stars THOUGHT I got a great deal! Ha!.......2006-06-19

When I saw this for $99 at K-Mart last year, I thought I had found the answer to our almost-1-year-old son's hatred of car trips. It felt pretty cheap & flimsy, but worked well, and played everything we put in it (even library DVDs that were pretty beat up), but the power cord connection was ALWAYS loose. Then about 3 months ago, it quit working completely--the AC adaptor didn't work, the battery charger didn't work, nothing. Luckily, my brother-in-law is an electronics wiz, and he was able to get it working again in about 5 hours of fiddling (and I didn't have to pay the $59 repair fee--plus shipping--Cyberhome quoted). However, our last car trip last week was IT. Every time we went over a tiny bump in the road, the cord fell out. I'm looking for a new DVD player again!`

2 out of 5 stars Wish we would have chosen a different brand.......2006-01-27

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.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent widescreen portable region-free DVD player (with remote code).......2005-08-22

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.

Here is the Region code hack found from VideoHelp.
1. Turn on your dvd player using the remote control
2. open the tray
3. press the "stop" button on your remote
4. enter 1999 using the remote & a special menu will pop up.
5. select the region code as indicated using the remote (set it to ALL)
6. confirm it, using "enter" key on remote
7. leave the menu using the "return" button on your remote
8. close the tray

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.

2 out of 5 stars Cyberhome DVD player.......2005-08-01

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 out of 5 stars Flimsy button and does not play some DVD's.......2005-07-25

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.

You should be able to find this at a much lower price. Most stores sell it for around $129.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 want to do something like jump to the next chapter.

I bought this unit because it advertised the longest battery life of any unit I have seen. It claims to get 4 and a half hours on one charge. I didn't keep the unit long enough to time the actual length, but it is certainly well over 2 hours.

It comes with almost everything you would want, including a car charger and remote control. If it played all my DVD's, it would be a pretty nice unit (as long as I was real careful with the buttons).

5 out of 5 stars DVD.......2007-01-09

This has been a great DVD player. Our old one had problems playing rental DVD's but since we got this DVD we have had no problems even with DVD's that looked questionalbe wheather or not they would play. I would highly recommend this item.

4 out of 5 stars Functional, Good Quality, Basic DVD Player.......2005-12-18

Excellent quality picture, easy to use, easy setup, simple remote control.

One minor complaint - no built in screen saver for extended pauses.

5 out of 5 stars Neat Little Player.......2005-08-01

I bought this Unit for $78.00. I purchased it because I needed something to play my DVD-Ram disc that I record from my Toshiba DVD recorder. The picture from this unit is awesome. If you can use the componet hook-ups I highly recommened you do so. I have a Panasonic 5 disc changer and the remotes are interchangebale. This is a very easy unit to use. If you do use the component jacks and have a reciever that you run your sound to you will have to purchase a set of connectores to run from the player to the receiver as it doesn't come with these. That is the only negative I found. It is compatible with -Ram, -R/RW, and +R/Rw. Buy this unit and enjoy!

2 out of 5 stars great player until it died.......2005-05-20

Add me to the set of users who were delighted with the player's functionality... until its demise at the age of only 18 months, with the classic H07 error.
I used to hold the Panasonic brand in high regard, but it'll be a while before I buy their products again.

5 out of 5 stars Great value!.......2005-05-10

I purchased this DVD player brand new at Circuit City a couple of weeks ago. I'm partial to Panasonic and Technic products. I've always had good luck with them. Just to make sure, I did a search on Consumer Reports and they give this player an Excellent rating. First of all, I don't see why anyone would pay more than $100 for a DVD player. They've got these things down to science and the price should only continue to come down. With the S27 you definitely get your money's worth and then some. The unit and remote control are very easy to use. I've got it hooked up through a Technics receiver, Panasonic television and Bose Acoustimass 15 speakers. The picture and sound are crystal. Highly recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars Hot little camera!.......2005-09-17

    I purchased this camera as a present for one of my daughters. She is crazy about it, the color and finish is just what you would expect from a Ferrari inspired idea. Total top shelf all the way. The packaging will blow you away. The camera does not have a viewfinder just a very large screen.The quality is stunning, but given Olympus and Ferrari that was to be expected. You do have to be careful to keep the lens clean. It is covered, but none the less it is very easy to smudge. as far as tech details it is not very different than any other camera in this class. But...if you want to make a different kind of statement...YES this will do it!

    Amazon.com Product Description

    The 30PW8520's 30-inch RealFlat, high-definition picture widescreen tube affords today's best home cinema viewing when used with a progressive-scan DVD player or an outboard digital set-top box for DTV reception. Picture enhancements like line doubling with Digital Natural Motion (480p/1080i) bring interlaced sources like VCRs and non-progressive-scanning DVD players into the digital realm, and a sophisticated comb filter further improves the quality of incoming interlaced video signals. Eye Fidelity provides the choice between different line doubling and scanning techniques, progressive or interlaced, so you can reduce motion artifacts like jagged edges and stair stepping. The set even offers four-channel sound with a built-in subwoofer for a rich, theatrical presentation. Virtual Dolby Surround simulates surround sound from any two speakers.

    In addition, dual-tuner, double-window picture-in-picture lets you monitor one video source--such as a TV channel, the Internet, a videotape, or video game--while watching another. A feature called Active Control continuously analyzes incoming signals and optimizes picture color, sharpness, contrast, and digital noise reduction 60 times per second. Four rear-panel audio-video connections and one set of side AV inputs accommodate composite-video, S-video, and component-video, with one set of high-definition component-video inputs. A 0.125-inch headphone jack lets you listen in private. The set includes an NTSC tuner for standard TV reception and comes with a backlit universal remote control and a 12-month warranty on parts and labor.

      5 out of 5 stars Great little Subwoofer!.......2005-09-28

      The Mirage Nanosub is surprisingly good. Mirage always builds great products but I didn't expect a lot from this small inexpensive subwoofer. If you like music, this sub really shines. Many/most subs can play loud and rattle windows in home theater applications, but most are not very "musical". This sub seems to be much lower in distortion than most subs, so the clarity and tightness of the bass is truly exceptional. I use it in a bedroom 5.1 system, and it does great with movies too. It is small so it does not deliver bass so low that your fillings rattle, but it goes plenty low and plenty loud for my mid-sized room. My guess is it would work great in anything but a gigantic room. At this price you could by two or even three if you had larger rooms. The bottom line is, it sounds great and it's small enough to easily fit in virtually any room. Based on my experience and shopping, this is probably the best subwoofer on the market for under $300.

        5 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN EXPECTED-EXCELLENT WHEN SET UP IS RIGHT.......2007-02-23

        I've read several reviews of this Z3 speaker set in different forums and most of them were putting them down as insufficient in sound, output and overall tone. I could test about a dozen in a shop and, Z3, in comparison to Altec and Creative, sounded a bit flat but the sound was linear neutral and clean. I also compared Z3 to Z4; the heights from Z3 sounded better, Z4 had almost no mids, despite the 3 speakers in the satellites and the bass was too weak. That was just the point, why I've chosen them. I fixed the satellites on the wall, in height of my ears and the bass underneath the computer table. Thats most important with Logitech, you have to carefully put them in right position. With I tunes and Power DVD 7 you have plenty of features to adjust the sound, and with its linear basics, I get tremendeous overall sound, good bass and clear heights and fantastic stereo effects and enough power to get excellent sound at low level when working at night.
        These speakers won't blow you away at high level, allthough they LOOK as if they would, but remember that they cost around $ 65.-- and not $ 650.-... If you want something like this, you have to choose Logitech Z-5500 Digital.

        3 out of 5 stars Gone bad.......2007-01-10

        This baby rocked my room for over 2 years but all of sudden it died on me. Finally ended up in dumpster. No regrets bought it for $35 from amazon.

        1 out of 5 stars AVOID LOGITECH SPEAKERS (well, these anyway).......2006-05-28

        I bought these 6 months ago and they began cutting out last night for no reason. I must have messed with them for 3 friggin' hours with no luck. I wish I had stuck with my Creative Speakers; thankfully I kept them in my closet and I'm using them right now. maybe other Logitech systems are better, but these? YECHHH!

        5 out of 5 stars Superb sound for the price.......2006-04-22

        These look nice (better than the other Z3s with fake wood grain stickers), particularly the aluminum front piece (though the grills are very attractive, too). Easy to hook up. Convenient headphone jack on the power/volumn remote. Great price.

        4 out of 5 stars Great for the Price.......2005-12-12

        I gave the Logitech Z-3e 4-out of 5 stars becuase I have noticed the smaller "satillite" speakers (the small ones)tend to pop and crackle when pushed to there limit. The Sub is very powerful and add much needed low end. If you keep the volume at a "normal" level these speakers perform very well.
