I have DVD player that will freeze up, while playing. The image stays on
but with no further progress. At times when this happens,the player will not
respond from remote control. I pull out power plug, restart movie and often
times it will freeze in almost the same spot on the movie. The DVD is new,
and it happens with others in much the same way. The player is a Cyber Home,
and hasn't had much play time hours. Any Suggestions?




Could be a capacitor in the power supply, dirty optical pickup, dried up
grease, feel free to open it up and fiddle with it, Cyber Home is a
bargain bin cheapie so you won't find a tech willing to work on it and
it would cost more than buying a new one. If it's less than a year old
it might be under warranty.

In addition to the above, some Cyberhome models (eg the CH-DVD3xx series)
have a flexible cable going to the optical pickup which is too short, and
with time the wires inside it can break or become intermittent. This can
be an additional cause for symptoms such as those the OP described.

Cyberhome USA is defunct after the US Customs seizure last spring, so even
if professional repair were chosen, the available of custom parts (like the
optical pickup) is doubtful.
