I've not read of a known hack for it. All the people that have bought the DVD45 seem unable to play VCDs or SVCDs. Try and return it and buy a Pacific from Asda, it plays VCDs, MPEGS and JPEGs (£44) or one of the other cheapies selling in other upermarkets. Most of them play everything you can throw at them without the need for hacks.

It can be made multiregion by opening the tray and keying in 2812 on the remote and pressing enter until you get to region 9.

Dave's response doesn't work on my machine. Pressing ENTER closes the tray and it loads (or not if it's a Region 1 disc!).

Any suggestions?

Bought mine today from Argos for a xmas present, just tested it by attaching to a little portable and it worked with copy cds and also played the cd(s)I had stored photographs on - brilliant value. Doesn't come with a scart lead to attach to your telly so make sure you check which one you need.
