Page 1 of mp3 on hitachi 505

I read somwhere on hompage that I can play mp3 cd on the 505 .I have try it but nothing happened.How can I do it.

What 505 do you have?

Is it the European DV-P505E or the North American DV-P505U?
also use the menu hack and tell me what version your firmware is(ie 0123)?

How long ago did you buy it?

I simply burn selected files using Write2CD, pop it in the player and they play:-)

HITACHI 505 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thing it is Europen iam from iceland(sorry for the spelling)and the player is 2 monhts old.The version in the loopholes is 2,20.I burnd the mp3 files as data cd .

I forgot to thank you for the hacks information that you gafe mee before THANKS A MILLIONTIMES 505 ROCKS !!!!

No gunnar in the version menu at the bottom there should be something like SW0.123?

what does your`s say?

Did you download the multiregion firmware from that site and install it?

My player is about 2 months old, it`s just that I heard Hitachi where removing MP3 Playback from US models. They might start doing it with Europeans ones as well.

what does it say when you put the MP3 disk in the player?

Glad I could help!

HITACHI 505 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

It says SWO.123. When I put the cd in it says there is a mp3 cd in the player but I cant play it .Dvd player simply count down the tracks and there is no sound whit it.

I did not down load the firmware I can play all of the region .

"I did not down load the firmware I can play all of the region ."

You mean the handset hack eh?

Thats weird it see`s the Mp3 files but does not play em!

SO!

When you play an mp3 the track and the timer appears in the LCD, but you can not hear it?

forgive me for being a bit insulting but do you press enter on the selcted track?

silly I know.

HITACHI 505 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

When I press on enter it just start to play tarck number one for 2 sec then nymber two for 2 sec all of the tracks play like that it just count down the track by stoping for 2-3 sec on each of them and I cant hear anything.

That is weird.

Try burning different Mp3 files to a new CD and try again.

or have you tried this many times.

are you using cdr or cdrw?

write out your menu setup and post it here.
