Cyberhome LDV-700B DVD Player - handle with care

This player will serve you well IF you're an adult with modest requirements for a DVD player.
The operation is simple and straightforward; you don’t have to be a technical genius to get this one going. The instruction manual is clearly written. This player is not very responsive on commands, either from the console or the remote control. Once you have it playing, this unit does a pretty good job. The menus, options, and player functions are clear and easy to use.
This unit has good composite and S-video outs that make this a good middle of the road choice, and for the price, you can't complain. The audio is standard line level output. The headset drive is adequate for most sets.
The downside is the power connector, very thin and it won't take a lot of shoving or torque before it breaks off. The battery would be adequate if the charger worked reliably, so count on using AC or the car battery for a power source. The only way you can get a replacement battery is to look for another unit for parts. Don't look for fancy player features or component output - they aren't there.
This unit isn’t particularly rugged so it won’t tolerate much physical abuse, dropping, or rough handling. As I said, this is an adults-only device. Children will kill this unit in less than a day.
Tech support, repair, and replacement parts are non-existent on-line or anywhere else. Therefore, consider this to be a “if-it-breaks, throw away” purchase. I bought a broken unit on e-bay for a penny and it was worth every cent.
