Have you tried both hacks??
There are two models. Try the oritron 600 one.
Place an audio cd in the drive.
Press open/close on the remote to close the tray
Press menu on remote
Press 1 on remote
Press index (1 All) on remote
Press open on remote
Press 1 on remote
This will enable vcd playback but this machine is very picky about what types of cd it will play. So far I have only 2 out of about 20 tried that actually play.
