Need help finding the button :-)

Hi all
My friend has a Crown dvd player and I am trying to enable vcd on it for him, I have found this hack on here......
.............
-Insert a music CD and press stop on your remote.
-Press the menu button
-Press 1, Index menu button, eject
-a secret menu appears-if you press 1 this enables VCD playback.
............................
the only problem is we can`t figure out which is the "index" button , I have also seen it called the (1-All) button.
Please can someone help, also is there a way to disable Macro on it.
Thanks for any replies.
While Im here does anyone know if the Philips 756 can play mp3`s yet.

Philips 756 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK I am that stupid, the probs I had with the 756 (B&W pic on some VCD`s) was all down to me connecting the thing wrong. It now plays all my Vcd`s and the picture is excelent. Sorry Jimbo, looks like I`ll be sticking with this one but I will be buying some DVD`s off you in the future.
Thanks for all the help.

RE: which philips

Philips 756 from Empire direct £199
Had mine about a week and apart from stupidity on my part ( connecting it to the wrong scart on my TV) it plays everything and the picture is great.
Can`t say anything about the sound as I don`t have the right setup to comment.

RE: Region 3 Hacks for Philips 756 Player

Yeah I know the qual on some of them is a bit messy but the ones that I tried are DVD rips and played fine on the Daewoo and the Thompson that I had. I thought maybe there were some settings that needed changing or something but I cant find anything.


Oh no!!!!!!!!!!not another return :-(((((

Alright Jimbo I know, you told me so.....
I got a 756 from empire direct on Wednesday and it seems to be a very good machine but I am having a problem with some Vcd`s I have, it plays some really well but others only in B&W but when I fast forward it, it turns to colour and will only play frame by frame, any ideas people, is it something to do with the NTSC you were talking about Jimbo????????
Please help as I am sick of changing players now but with that in mind, does anyone know how long I have to send it back for a refund (internet purchase)

Thanks for any replies

RE: Hack for Philips 756 DVD Player Needed Urgently

If you see something on Empire you like go then to HED.co.uk and they will match and beat it 999 times out of 1000 + no delivery charge, I bought TV & VId from hed and found them great, give them a ring if you don`t see what you want as they can get almost anything.
Hope I`m not dissapointed with the756, been searching for too long now.
:-)

RE: Hack for Philips 756 DVD Player Needed Urgently

They wont as its an online store and as its only £250 at currys I think the price is right so no secrets, £199 Empiredirect.co.uk + £7 delivery. I called HED as thats where I bought my TV and Vid from and they price match and beat, but they said they could only do it for £297 so I snapped it up from Empire. I think HED got the wrong one, I`m sure they wouldn`t be more expensive than Currys. Ah well Ruff £40 not too hard to swallow, unless its £40 worth of Brussel sprouts that is :-)

RE: Hack for Philips 756 DVD Player Needed Urgently

I`ve ordered one already, I won`t say where yet (unless I already have) as it seems extremely cheap and I still think I`m going to get a call saying "sorry we made a mistake"
I have a Philips TV & Vid so it will go great with those, you don`t know if the PHilips TV or Vid remote can perform the hack do you??
Chees

PHILIPS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Aiwa XD-DV370 in SILVER

Its a Philips 756 in glorious SILVER £207 inc delivery.
My TV and Video are Philips so that made my mind up even though it doesn`t have as many features as the Aiwa ( I have a pdf file with all the specs on if anyone wants one I will mail) it has most of the features I want.
PHILIPS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope;-))

Help on the Philips 756 pleeassee!!!!!!!!!!

I have just ordered a Philips 756 because I can`t get a bloody SILVER Aiwa as most of you will know. Does anyone own or know anything about the 756.
Grateful for all info. Is there a macro hack?
Cheers

RE: Hack for Philips 756 DVD Player Needed Urgently

Ruff 1, can you tell me what this player is like as I`ve just ordered one from Empiredirect,
Whats the pic quality like?
Sound?
Did you have to use a universal remote for the hack? and was it easy enough?
can you disable mac?
Thanks for any help.

RE: Aiwa XD-DV370 in SILVER

Is April already, if its not I`m well p***ed off because I`ve just ordered a DVD player today you bunch of bollocking bastards, its a conspiricy isn`t it, you all knew where I could get a SILVER one didn`t you :-)

I`m off to sit in my rocking chair now so sod off #-?

RE: OK, SERIOUS

Go for it Jimbo,
I`ll buy some films off you and maybe a player if my little secret goes pear shaped ;-)

RE: Fed up of waiting for comet/Aiwa370...........time to choose...advice needed.

Jimbo, what are the chances of enabling VCD on the 3350e as this is a lovely little SILVER player and would be ideal if it played VCD on CDR of course ;-))

RE: This is for Poncho, but ya aint gonna like it!

Bolloooooooocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its just not fair ;_(((((((((((
What about the info you got saying the last batch was silver?? and the guy who asked you for help and he had a different colour code than KN, whats going on, I feel like I`m in the Twilight Zone.
Jimbo stop teasing and give me a bloody SILVER one.

007, is it SILVER (hmm)0oo..:-( its all Microstars fault!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does the Thompson DHT 4000 play VCD

Anybody know if this machine plays vcd on cdr,,,,just asking for a friend.
Cheers

RE: Thomson DTH4200.......is it actually any good ???

Yoshi, all your problems are over, Argos sell them, I had one over Christmas and it wasn`t too bad. It played all my VCD,s and MP3`s although it did jump a few times on the mp3`s though, which is one of the reasons I took it back, no questions asked.Its also not very SILVER, front is but the rest of it`s pretty grey.
Good old Argos, pity they don`t sell the Aiwa, I could see what the champagne one looked like with my TV,Vid.

RE: A thought on the opinions on DVD players in this forum

Well said Acolyte###################
It must be so hard being middle class, you can`t talk to the workers because they`re not good enough for you and you can`t speak to the true upper classes as they see you for what you really are,,,,,,FAKE

So sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats makes him middle class doesn`t it?????

RE: Calling ANY LG 3350 owner with a bit of bottle and a digital camera!!

What about sticking all the bits into a Cornflakes packet, spraying it SILVER and sending it to me Jimbo ;-))))

What is the advantage of an onboard decoder??? I presume you wouldn`t need an amp or would you?? sorry haven`t got a clue about these things.

RE: A thought on the opinions on DVD players in this forum

>The British working class are generally only interested in moaning, >whinging and sitting on their backsides reading the Sun,

Sounds like your far too grand to be mixing with the moaning working class people that this forum attracts. I think you would be much happier back in the good old US of A with a few of them servents bringing you cucumber sandwiches or we could always bring Maggie back eh, at least that would give someone a chance to shoot the old bag

I also admire Nelly for coming on this forum and facing the flack and don`t even know you, but if you read your last post carefully and don`t think """what a tw*t""" then I`m glad I won`t be reading any more of your posts.
You are the weakest link,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Goodbye.

PS. If it was just to shock and p*** some people off then good on ya, but I don`t think so somehow
