Page 1 of Goodmans Personal DVD/LCD Player.................Post Up-dated

Thinking of getting one of Goodmans little DVD/LCD players, ether the 7inch screen player, GDVD67W2LCD or the 8 and a half inch screen player, GDVD83WLCD.
Question is? do they play -r and -rw discs. -rw not important, but not playing -r would be a waste of time buying one. also can they be made multi-region, in my case that would be Regions 1,2, 3 and 0. Ok, I could live without R3. Help appreciated as on-line manual no help and they had no on-line info on the players..

An up-date for anyone thinking of buying one of these players.
Just had an e-mail from Goodmans tec. department:

Thank you for your e-mail.
Unfortunately, the GDVD67 range cannot play DVD-R and -RW discs.
Thanks and B. Rgds
Goodmans Technical HelplineSo now we know.

What about DVD+R ? Would that work with these Goodmans portable DVD players ? Would any hack be helpful ?

Thanks

I find this comment from Goodmans very strange, this player is almost identical to the Mustek PL407 Portable DVD Player, the only difference is a slight cosmetic change in the DVD flip-up cover design. The Mustek player does state that it can play back both -/+ R/RW discs, who is correct? My money would be on Mustek who produce this player for Goodmans. I recently bought the GDVD673WLCD from Tesco`s for £99.97, the only difference being that it only came with one battery not two as advertised on the Goodmans website. I can confirm that this player can play back both -R and -RW (Finalised) discs without any problem. I have also made the Goodmans multi region using the hack shown on these forums.
