Well after making this a region free player ,i must admit i wish i never set me eyes on it .
It was intended as a gift and gift or not it went back to the shop, due to the quality .
It looks sleak and silver ,but the disc tray i can see been broke easily (its so thin its unreal --not recommended for childrens rooms ).

The next downside is that after making it region free ,it only played DVD,MP3 any thing esle i threw in just would not work :- VCD 1.1 -VCD2.0, JPEGS, AVI FILES, SVCD.

I mean come on whats the point, i been using vcd since 1994 via the phillips cdi range .

Any way after all that i took it back and bought a aiwa xd-ax36 for a £1 more @ comet , and i tell you what it plays the dogs b0[0<ks (except not made it region free yet).Not to worry at least i had the energy to remove that alba form my dwellings.

ADVICE:- A WHEELY BIN FILLER , first its the box and packing next it will be the player .

Thanks to Skippy for writing most of this! I couldn`t have done it without you!

P.S. To all ALBA DVD129 owners. Seriously folks, watch out for that disk drawer. Even a can of Pepsi will snap it off, so be careful out there!
