My Region-Free CyberHome 300 only lasted a month. It would go into an endless "Reading" loop when inserting a disc.
That has apparently happened to many folks.
I junked it, because shipping from Canada to California would cost almost as much as I paid for the player.
For Region-Free, I now use a Lasonic brand.
My Panasonic 120 I've had since 1998 and it's still playing discs well.
My Panasonic F87 5-disc changer which I got as a gift in 2005, I'm also extremely happy with.
