Page 1 of Notice Dansai, 1010, 956, NO VCD or SVCD function anymore

Why have Dansai, and I suspect other manufacturers like Pacific, withdrawn the VCD and SVCD functions on all their dvd machines, have they been forced to do so??

This is VERY odd....!!

davelympany, I bought a 952 this week NO VCD/SVCD I am not too happy I have just spent a considarable amount of time boning up on how to make the damn things only to find my player will not accept them. My dilemma now is does it go back or hang on for a firmware upgrade like you can get for the 1010 if one comes out???

I`ll tell you exatly what to do, take it back,get a refund and go to safeway I have just boght a Daewoo dvg 6000g for 89 quid, plays vcd, svcd, it cd-r its cd-rw, mp3 compat, bloody brilliant! And they havnt been disabled by the manufacture like dozy pacific and schneider, who in my opinion have sold themselves very short.

THAT JUST WHAT I DID TODAY, SUPERB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After ringing the helpline,Tesco`s sent me a firmware update for the 1010 today. My machine now happily plays VCDs.

what was the update , a code or what?, any idea if it would work on the 956?
