Cyberhome 512

Has anybody had any problems with their 512? I have recently purchased one of these. It has already been replaced once, the first one froze every now and again, then after 2 weeks the picture jumbled, stuttered and there was no sound. The replacement is overheating, Richer Sounds have offered to replace it again, swap it for another brand of player or I can have a cash refund. Have I just been unlucky? This player has everything that I need, good picture and sound, plays mp3,cdr/cdrw, vcd and is multi-region and macrovision free with the 9.8 firmware. Any feedback on this player would be welcome, so that I can decide what to do.

I`ve been thinking about this machine myself but messages of problems do seem to cropping up a bit too much for my liking. On the other hand software problems seem to be getting resolved and firmware updates are freely available.

It seems to offer by far the best feature for a great price, I`d try another and then change to a different model if you still have problems.

This type of thing would push me in the direction of a local sale rather than male order for an unreliable product

I bought the player last week and had a few problems with mp3 dropping out etc but after the firmware upgrade to 9.8 it is working fine now great player great sound and great picture . I contacted cyber home and they were relly helpful and helped me by sending me the firmware i needed.

Swap the player for another one they are really good.
