Here is a review that explains how to make it region free. :hi:

CyberHome CH-DVD 300S Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Silver)
Other products by Cyberhome

Excellent Unit, Low Price, and Multi-Region Capability!, July 30, 2004
Reviewer: Art (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
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!

4. Thank you

:hi:

My own does not have a region free code so it would probably be a good idea to just invest in a cheap one that does. We do have a few dvds with this problem. I had also gotten some Charlie and Lola disks for the kids.

6. I have this model and mine has had some problems (the remote for

mine doesn't work properly) but my sister has the same model and hers works like a dream. I'd like to order the old "Comic Strip Presents" episodes that aren't available in the USA.:cry: I would need to order them from AmazonUK. I loved that series. Unfortunately I only recorded about five of them when they were broadcasted on MTV back in the 1980's. Brilliant show. :hi:
