Can anyone tell me if this player can some how be converted to play CDR.I have seen conflicting info Argos say on there site it is all singing all dancing CDR,CDRW & MP3. I have managed to get it to play all regions but it will not read CDR.I would be pleased for any info thanks in advance.Best regards Presa.

The M105, in general, will *not* read CD-Rs - Argos have misled you. If you bought it on the basis of this false information you should send it back for a refund.

The CD-R incompatibility is a limitation of the DVD pickup and can`t be cured (short of replacing the entire laser mechanism). However, there are a few brands of CD-R and CD-RW that might be *just* within tolerance for this player - Princo brand CD-Rs, in particular, are worth experimenting with.

I have been to our local computer fair today and there were loads of disks by DataSafe Media. Is there any specific ones to use. I ask this as i bought some 80 minute ones which say on them "www.datasafe-media.com" These do not appear to work on my 105.
There were some others that had in big letters Data Safe Media printed on them, which the assistant said were Audio cds only. Any suggestions would be grateful!!!
