| docks5's Full Review: Cyberhome CH-LDV 700B 7 in. Portable DVD Player |
This seems to be a decent unit. Other than the poor battery life. My children have enjoyed it on many long trips, and I have certainly been thankful for the distractions. It has simple button functions and a decent screen.
However, my wife just returned from a trip to see relatives. While on her way back she started to smell an "electrical burn smell". About that time my kids started crying, saying "a fire". She stopped the van and retrieved our Cyberhome portable DVD player. She observed that there had indeed been a small fire on the unit. The exterior appears normal until you flip open the screen. Next to the Cyberhome Logo is what I assume is the optical eye. This has completely melted and has a burned area. Up until now the unit has performed fairly well besides the short battery life.
As a side note, the dvd player was plugged into the auxiliary power supply.
The model # is CH-LDV 700B
Please be careful.
