RE: Please Help! I gotta new DVD player . . . .

Hi

Im glad this works for everyone!

About the region playing, I think it is region unlocked out of the box but if u look on the back it has got an r2 logo, so maybe it will lock to a specific region after so many plays? time will tell.

Please Help! I gotta new DVD player . . . .

I just got a (dont laugh im a student on a budget) Alba DVD108 player (Argos £69.99). It plays DVD`s(r2)\MP3\CDR\RW lovely but it wont play VCD`s or SVCD`s - It comes up with `incorrect format disc` then ejects it.
I can find nothing about any info at all for this player, I`m sure there must be some hacks for it.

I know it plays VCD`s and SVCD`s beautifully because I can trick it into playing them!!!! When I put a vcd/svcd in it begins to spin up the disc - in this time and before it actually starts to read the disc I press menu and left keys together, then let go of them and press 1 key and hold it down and it will play anything (all this needs to be done in the second or so that it spins up the disc - needs good timing an a bit of practice but i got it to a tee now)!

Anyways.. Im quite sure that this player is not multi-reg out of box but can be hacked along with the (s)vcd features.
Does anyone have any ideas/links/info/HACKS on this? it is all much appreciated. I can open the player to find out any chip details ppl might need.

Thanks for your time!
