General Comments

I too got my DVD from Auctionworld, after waiting a month. I read welshblokes review and totally agree. My problem is the update to accept VCD as I cannot get the file to CDR so that it works at all. I get a Real Player Metafile or something which the machine cannot read and I get a no disc message. Any help welcome or if welshbloke reads this, can I sort out a copy of your CDR?

   Got the upgrade to download OK after getting rid of real player from my PC. Updated as info said and now works just fine with VCD and all other discs including a region 1 I tried as test.
   Great machine.

   Where can i download this update program for the tredex any help would be appreciated

   I got it from the www.auction-world.tv web site but I am not now able to find it now despite checking under product support where the players is record 10. I suggest you contact them to ask where the upgrade has gone to as I am sure it was on the home page when I got the machine. Best of luck but if you need help I still have the CDR here I think so could copy it for you.

   I also bought my Tredex 3050 from Auction World and also downloaded the file to upgrade the machine to play VCD's unfortunately after trying 5 times to download this file along with the suggested windows 50 Mg temp file and other various files onto the dvd player it always comes up with 'disc error', does anyone have any other ideas?
   Otherwise the player is great.

   I have tried emailing auction world to find out where the download has gone but as of yet they have not replied. I also bought this for the playback of vcd's. LOL but the rest of the playback facilities are great. If anyone knows where I can get a copy of the firmware upgrade on cdr it would be much appreciated.

   I am also looking for the tredex 3050e firmware upgrade. If anyone can help please email me and let me know thank you

   Unfortunately I have had an email off Auction world eventually. They tell me the reason why they took the firmware upgrade off the homepage is the tredex 3050e is not compatable to play vcd/svcd. There were too many problems with the download they were giving out. Great!!!!!!!!! especially for those of us watched on the TV as we were told that it did play VCD/SVCD. I think I would call that false advertising. Well I suppose I can't be lucky all the time. To be honest I only wanted it for the karaoke playback for my daughter cheaper than a karaoke machine and cheaper for the discs if you have the means. I would reccomend anyone else reading this who wants a DVD player that does it all go to Asda buy a PACIFIC. SAINSBURYS the MICO. Most local computer stores sell alittle player the MUZTEK. Also a very good player is the YELO approx £180 only available online to buy. The other 3 are around £60-£80 and they play everything you put into them. I have them all so I know. Keep away from Auction Worlds DVD player they are not a cheap as the shops.
