Page 1 of Compacks 5.1 DVD

Anyone heard of this. Aparantly Safeway are offering these this week at £79.99. Thats the cheapest 5.1 output player I`ve heard of. It does all the usual VCD/MP3 plus JPEG which I assume is photo CD.

No one else seen this deal ? Is it a remote hackable player ?

yes bought it today, But the power supply is wrong u need an electric razor adaptor for it to work,
i think now they have taken it off the shelf because of this I think they r american imports as it wuz set up as usa version!!!
bought mine in plymouth where I live.
plays mp3 - o.k.
dvd`s - o.k.
Karaoke Discs with Graphics - o.k.
but appears to play vcd`s but on unbranded discs for some reason
I would like to know who this is made by to find out more info on it
before I take it back.
If there is a hardware crack like the dansia it will be a great system
woohoo
but for now boohoo!

I,ve just looked at the Safeway Flyer the model number is AB-6820.
An internet search turned up a site at :
http://www.viewcome.com.tw/DS-8319.htm
and the player looks identical - withthe exception of a `COMPACKS` badge.
A search on COMPACKS brought up a collective trading group at www.compacks.com

yes it plays everything all but
cdr - vcd`s I cannot get it to read of my vcd`s and these r on various media of cd`s.
plays karaoke, mp3, svcd, dvd, but not cdr vcd`s (Damn)
& yes it is the viewcome but with a different badge
not sure whether to take it back or try & wait for a hardware patch or something.
Does anyone know of any other dvd players that they all inc karaoke
plz
lmk
thanx

I went to my local Safeway but they`d already withdrawn their stock. If you`ve still got it and are thinking about getting rid - I`ll buy it off you!

Is it regionalised then - for US region 1?

I have decided to keep it.
When we opened the box & found the mains adapter only had 2 pins, We rang them & they told that they r just about to take them off the shelf because of this matter, & they would give us a refund,
but we are going to keep it but not sure now how we will stand with the warranty??
we will have to ring them I guess..
cheerz for your interest anywayz & sorry to let yaz down...

Don`t blame ya for keeping it - I would have done so too!
I`ll have to see if they re-market them with a UK lead - noticed on one of the links above that it takes 110-240V AC (autoswitching) so any lead that fits would do - or put a 3-pin on.
I take it it`s multi-region then?
