Page 1 of Help Or Advice Needed With Hitachi DVP305

Even tho it`s supposed to, my player refuses to play vcd`s. Well, so far I`ve only tried a set of pirate discs. What happens is the player displays the message `load`, then `no disc`, and the television displays the message `This disc cannot be played. Please check the disc`.
Has anyone else had this happen/know of a solution?
Fingers & toes crossed,
Janet.

I used to own this player myself and I had the same problem as you did. This player will play vcds if they are genuine ones, however it won`t play CD-R media. It has been alleged that there are some brands of CD-R that will play, but I have no idea of the brand names. I did have some luck using CD-RWs (Memorex & Verbatim) but they were still a bit stubborn to get going at times.

Hope this is of some help to you.
