RE: New Wharfdale 750 Won`t Hack??

THIS PROBLEM WAS HIGHLIGHTED ON THE BBC TV PROGRAM `WATCHDOG` PRESENTED BY ANNE ROBINSON IN EARLY JANUARY 2001. THE RESULT OF HER INTERROGATION OF A SPOKESMAN FOR THE FILM/TV DISTRIBUTORS ORGANISATION WAS AN ADMISSION THAT THE CODING ON THE MAIN DISK WAS DIFFERENT TO THAT ON THE EXTRA FEATURES DISK. THIS DIFFERENCE IN THE CODING, PRESENTED AS THE MANUFACTURERS RIGHT TO UPGRADE AND IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCTS, PREVENTS THE `GOODIES` DISK FROM WORKING ON (SPECIFICALLY) WHARFDALE DVD PLAYERS PLUS SOME OTHER MAKES. SO BASICALLY THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE PRODUCERS MESSING ABOUT WITH THE CODING STANDARDS. THE DISTRIBUTERS REP. DID SAY THAT A NORMAL CODED DVD HAS BEEN PRODUCED AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. INCIDENTLY, HE ALSO ADMITTED THAT NOT ALL DVD`S WILL WORK ON EVERY PLAYER - SOME WILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OUTLINED ABOVE. SO - COMPLAIN LIKE HELL!!!!!
