Page 1 of First Generation Wharfedale 750 and the Tesco upgrade (NOT 750S)

I complained to Tesco a month ago when Gladiator R2 Special Features disc, along with Jaws R2, and Toy Story Collectors Pack features disc would not work on the 750.

I have the first generation 750, and have had no problems with any R1 discs, just R2. Tesco have advised that they have an upgrade (a chip) to solve my R2 problems, but i am concerned this will effect my players ability to play R1 discs. I have also heard of problems with the 750S and R1 dics, where there is a jittery picture!!! Is this chip used for the 750S that is the question?

Does anyone have the original 750 and had the upgrade? If so was there any problems with the ability to play R1 discs after the upgrade? Also will this now allow the 750 to play R1 RCE discs?

Thanks

Hi Robin,

There have been no problems with my 750S and R1 discs. The jittery picture is down to the play not being set to the correct TV system. I had the jitters on my player till I changed it to PAL60. As for the chip, the 750S has a completely different chipset to 750.

Sorry I can`t help anymore.

Michael.

We sell an upgrade chip for the W750 that does not affect the players ability to playback Region 1 ... I think the Tesco upgrade will still be the same but cannot guarantee this as they may have moved to newer firmware now ...

I missed part of your question ... Gladiator R2 cannot be fixed by a firmware upgrade ... this is the fault of the disk ... for more information see the news stories on www.dvdtimes.co.uk
