MP3 64kbit/s WMA CVD? $60 7 days 7 of 10 DivX MPEGISO Comments: Cant read MPEG format, need to apply .mpg extention to files i.e. .dat files unreadable by player even though it is MPEG1. having trouble reading JPEG's, I have tested afew with 2M in size. Player seems to take it's time reading cd info roughly 5 - 7 seconds before playing CD. found the player twice to hang in standby mode, had to un-plug to cure.

MP3 VBR 320kbit/s WMA CVD? $50 14 days 9 of 10 JPG/JPEG MP3 long filename MP3 ID3 TAG DivX XviD Comments: Tested various samples of DivX and XviD movies with and without (multi-language) subtitles, etc. See the samples at: http://www.mpeg4-players.info/download/DivX.Test.CD.v1.0/ AC3 (Dolby Digital) coded DivX/XViD sound is sent over the coax to my AV-receiver ok. Multiple soundtracks are supported. Some extreme combinations of VBR-MP3 with high bandwith video lead to stumbling output. Also: the player skips .ogg and .ac3 sound files. @Newsgroupie: All the scanlines of (2-line) DivX subtitles are sent to my RGB TV when I Setup the CH-DVD 401ZE Video to output 16:9, Original, PAL, RGB. Did you try a different screen presentation mode already on your TV (like 16:9 /w subtitling, which is available at least on the Philips PAL TV that I use) ?

CVD? $50 1 days 8 of 10 DivX XviD Comments: Very content with this player, will mainly use it for divx playback. One question to my fellow Dutchmen or any other that can answer; I only see the top line of my divx subtitles (*.srt), and just a slight part of the lower line. The remains of the lower line is displayed outside the screen. Is there a way to fix this ? I have tried every video setting but these only apply to the video, the subs are not affected. Does the firmware upgrade fix this ? Do I need to use another subtitle file format (*.sub) ? Any help is appreciated!!

With 1 .MP3 disc, that was slightly overburned with more than 700 MB, the player's servo produced a scratchy sound. After updating the firmware that problem went away completely. An old commercial Audio CD that physically rumbled in a Philips 763SA Matchline DVD-player, played flawlessly on the 401. After reading several reviews from others too, my evaluation is: Pros: . low price (EUR 39, excl. SCART cable, MediaMarkt Netherlands) . small silver case/housing . plays lots of discs and formats: DivX, CD-Audio (CD-DA), MP3 (VBR and even 320 kbps !), WMA, ... . fast disc recognition/loading . low motor/servo noise (after firmware update) . update firmware via owner burned CD-R(W) (jan 2005: Mpeg: EU401Z.V7.HD62.010, http://www.cyberhome.de/en/Downloads-index-req-viewsdownload-sid-11.html) . sharp SCART RGB digital video output (multi-norm, PAL, NTSC, and even NTSC-disc to PAL-TV ?) . raw and PCM coax digital audio output (96/48 kHz PCM CD-DA, Dolby Digital * 5.1) . shows most MP3 ID3-tag details on TV screen . use remote control to make the player DVD region-free . transparant background DVD subtitling . lots of easy OSD setup menu controlled features Cons: . noise in analog audio output (96 kHz / 24 bit DA, 86 dB) . noise in analog S-Video output (10 bit 54 MHz DA) . high power consumption in standby mode (1.9-3.3 W), no power switch, short life expected . no DTS digital audio output (not even with RAW output ?) . does not read DVD-Audio discs (but I don't have those anyway) . no local display (must use TV to walk an MP3 CD that has subfolders), max. 64 chars (but typically the 1st 20 chars) of a filename are shown . remote control (RMC-300Z) is powered by single 3V CR 2025 Li cell, not by AAA-batteries Total: . excellent value for money (will the Chinese ever stop ?) . great performance when connected to digital audio input AV-receiver (CINCH coax) and RGB input TV (SCART) CH-DVD 401 - Package Rev01 - ZE Manufactured: November 2004 CH-DVD 401ZE BIOS: HD62.00e Version distributed: Mpeg: EU401Z.V7.HD62.00e Version after firmware update: Mpeg: EU401Z.V7.HD62.010 Remote Control: CyberHome RMC-300Z, same as the one for the CH-DVD 400. This CH-DVD 401 seems to be the Successor/DivX Extension of the CyberHome CH-DVD 400. From the (good, in English and German) manual: Playable disc types: DVD-Video, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, Audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, SVCD Playable disc formats: MPEG 1/2, VCD, SVCD, Kodak Picture CD, JPEG, MP3+WMA (ISO9660 + Joliet, max. 500 folders, max. 1500 files, VBR, <= 320 kbps), MPEG-4 (+ GMC + Q-Pel; DivX 4.12, 5.x, XviD; 720x480x30, 720x576x25) Max. data transfer rate: 4x CD (600 KB/sec), 2x DVD (2700 KB/sec)
