Excellent Unit, Low Price, and Multi-Region Capability!
Don’t be frightened by the small-name brand and tiny size. This player works just fine. Good picture and good performance. I bought mine primarily because it can be programmed to play discs from other regions than Region 1 (North America’s DVD region, for those who do not pay attention to such things.) It does this to perfection! I have had no problem with color shifts or distortion with PAL discs on my NTSC television, but be sure that you use the manual when you go through the “Setup” menu – you will need to make sure your player is set to NTSC, not PAL, if you live in North America and want PAL discs to play properly on your NTSC set.
Not familiar with the PAL/NTSC thing? It’s like this – if an American buys a DVD from England, for example, he or she will find that it will not play in the average North American Region 1, NTSC DVD player because in England, DVDs and players are Region 2 and PAL TV format (North America has NTSC format TV broadcasts). They are incompatible and will not play. This player will play both PAL and NTSC DVDs, and will play them from any region!
There is one minor caveat – there are no instructions as to how to change regions included with the player (but can be found with an internet search).
Not to worry, though – this is how you do it:
1. With no disc in the tray, push “Menu” “1″ “9″ (ignoring the “No” symbol that appears on the upper left-hand corner of the screen).
2. A menu will appear that shows in highlight the region it is set to (almost certainly Region 1). Push the “Enter” button and the region number will change. You can set it to any region (1 through 6) or to Region 0, which means it will play PAL or NTSC DVDs from all 6 DVD regions!
3. Push the “Open/Close” button to close the menu, and you’re done!
Enjoy!
This DVD Player is Region Free !!!
When it comes to the price/value ratio, it doesn’t get much better than this item. For a little more than 30 bucks you get a region free DVD player ! (Yes, you can play any DVD from any country on this machine…. however, it is not mentioned in the user manual. All you need to do is press ‘menu’ ‘1′ ‘9′ and select region code 0).
The picture quality is really good. I have a 500 dollar Philips DVD player but the difference to this 30 dollar machine is almost non existent. The size of the player is a big plus as well. It’s nice and small and can easily be moved from one location to another. It is great in combination with a DVD recorder – especially, since it has an S-Video output. Also, it plays all DVD formats (including DVD+RW or DVD-R etc.). The voltage is variable from 110 V to 220 V which is great, if you want to use it in Europe as well. You can chose NTSC or PAL as output – again, this makes this player truly international.
Excellent one if you buy the right one
I brought 2 CH-DVD 300S from Sears the other day. One of them had
10S bios version (if you look at the bottom bar code there
is info on the date of manufacture and bios details)
and the other had 18S bios.
While the 10s bios one sucks (gives loud noise and hangs the
system or just plays the dvd and does not respond any commands,
bad picture quality), the other nes works perfectly well. I believe most of them for whom it never worked got the inferior
ones (older bios, old chips etc). Buy the ones which have
manufactured date after April 04 and with bios 18S or above.
The 18s bios versino one works perfectly well: DVD’s DVD+R -R of various brands, VCDs, Audio
CD,s CD containing jpeg photos, a cd containing mpeg files,
Dolby digital audio is fair enough, the picture is
fair enough for the price I paid for them. If you are
looking for one with all region, one that works all
around the world (both voltage and region code), this is
the player to buy for price to performance. It beats Apex,
sanyo players in price/performance provided you got the right
working one.
