Page 1 of MiCO Sofia 02a HACKED - multiregion and (S)VCD playback

Open the tray and press 2812 on remote to access hidden menu, but should be multiregion from box.
Go here http://asterix69.tripod.com/MiCO.zip (342Kb) for download to burn to CD-R so you can view S/VCD`s. You can now play pretty much anything on this bargain high spec machine.

Can`t download anything from this address. What`s the problem?

tried one of these and liked it very much but i have a large collection of jpeg files that it won`t read. does yours?? changed it for a pacific 1002 and this read everything short of the local paper!!
p.s. got nothing from website u suggested either.

Jpeg? DVD players are for playing MOVIES got it? Have your pictures printed up in 8X10 glossys and then you can look at them any time you want.

Woooah take it easy on us jpegers there snafu. Thats something thats extremely desireable on a player in this digital network your toaster with the fridge and bathroom scales for that matter day and age. Especially as the sw out there to convert jpegs to mpegs and/or VCD is so crap n slow that it is darnn near easier to paint them by hand - Ive tried them all. Theres nothing like showing the family snaps on a big screen TV to convince them technology is for the common people. So why not have a hardware jpeg viewer - seems like a brill idea & Mico are apparently doing it. No wonder Chinas GDP has increased by 50% every year for the last 10 yrs. Show me a Sony or Phillips that will do half of what I want from a DVD player. Overpriced selfserving videophile snobbery. Invent and control They are the reason we dont have VCDs in this neck of the woods but 3 decades of chunky tapes. Same goes for dusty photo albums in attics

Hi, I`m a real DVD novice, so please bear with me. Brought the Mico Sofia 02A today. Want to know if it will play copied DVD`s. (Are these referred to as "Burnt"?? Please confirm). We`ve tried playing one and it says "Incorrect Disk Format" Any help would be really apreciated. In novice terms please. Also, if I need to download something (again novice) can you tell me what to do. Thanks

and download the upgrade. you need to have a cd rewriter. full instructions are included with the download, but basically you unrar the files, and copy the two files onto a blank cd-r/cd-rw and put the disc into the player. wait a couple of minutes and the cd will come out. press and hold down the on/off button for a few seconds and the player goes off. wait a few more seconds and turn it back on. upgrade complete. ps - you`ll need winrar to extract the files. type `winrar` into your favourite search engine.
