Page 1 of The LG 4710. What can it and can`t it do?

I have a LG 4710.
I have now used the hacks to make it:
1. Region Free
2. Play VCD`s

One thing that I thought that the region free or the VCD hack did was to disable Microvision. But in my case I can`t seem to back up my DVD`s onto video. Can someone tell me whats wrong?
I have heard that it can do more, like play MP3 CD`s.
Can somebody please tell me what are the full capabilites of a hacked LG4710.
Could you please tell me how to do it.

If you need help with any of the above two fuctions leave a message and I`ll answer it.
Thanks

doesnt it play MP3 as standard?

What is the code for playing v.c.d.`s ? Your help would be appreciated.

To much to write down, heres the link.
Go there and download the manual for your player.

Warning should be taken. I`ve read some reports that this hack doesn`t work for some people and that it has caused problems with their player.
With saying that, it`s the one I used and I have had not problems.
Worked first time.
It also gives you the set up for D.D 5.1. If you look in the set up.
I have given you the link as its quite a useful site, at times.

My DVD Player does not have it as standerd.
I have only tried one disk. Maybe, that theres something wrong with it.
Can you play MP3?
I heard that the VCD hack leaves the player able to play MP3.

Gareth,thanks for your help in directing me to the above site.The problem is the Player is displaying the codes as you put them in,FE-- etc,but when it comes to the crunch the vcd`s won`t/can`t play.Theres probably a simple solution but I can`t work it out.Anyway thanks again.

One thing I forgot to say was that the Lg4710 does not play CD-R disks.
It will work with real VCD Disks and I think also with CD-RW.
Where you able to follow through the instructions all the way?
I had the problem when it came to "use the arrow three" which means "press the up arrow on the remote three times".
You will know if the hack has been done right if you have the D.D 5.1 option in your set up menu.
I don`t know if this helps any, but I hope so.
