Do you own one? If so, how about answering a few questions if U possibly can as I am seriously considering one:
1) Does it playback:
a) CDR (any format video, audio etc)
b) CDRW
c) DVDR (if U have any!!)
d) DVDRW
e) DVD+R
f) DVD+RW
g) VCD (homemade or professional)
h) SVCD (as above, I`ll send U one if needs be!!!)
i) XVCD or XSVCD
j) MP3
For chipping, IIRC I was told that www.mailuk.com might be able to help and U also might want to ask www.dvdchips.co.uk.
Any other comments on the overall performance of the machine would be really helpful
