Thanks for the info, but could you please tell me the hack to use as the one listed does not list the 4710 also does it play vcd`s on cdr or cdrw

There is only one hack for them all but use it with care and only enable it if you really need the function. I don`t think it will play cdr or cdrw.

I have done my 4710 and it works perfectlly.
Use the VCD hack that covers all the LG players, and that will work for you.
As for playing CDR\RW I found that it will in fact play CDRWs but not CDRs, but it can take a while for the player to recognise and accept the disc, sometimes you will get the message "Disc Error", and it spits the disc out, so you have to keep putting it in and trying, and eventually it will accept the disc and play it.
The same goes for playing MP3 discs, it will accept RWs but not CDRs,
I hope this is of use to you, as it is from a 4710 owner and user, who has done the hacks, (the multiregion hack also works fine).
You might find though, as a point of interest, that to play R1 discs, you need to set the switch on the back to PAL, and go into the setup menu and switch the PSEUDOPAL to OFF otherwise you get a black and white picture that rolls around like Titanic did as it was sinking :)

what is the vcd hack
