I bought the Pacific DVD player in 2002 in ASDA and it plays most things, but there are a few discs it will not play at all. Recently I purchased a legitimate box set of Joss Wheldon's FIREFLY TV series, of which I am an enormous fan, and it quite simply will not play it. This is most disappointing as by now the device is well out of guarantee and I cannot get a refund. I would strongly advise against purchasing one of these because you never know, a few years down the line, you might suddenly get the same trouble as I have.

I am thoroughly disappointed in that every DVD watched on this Pacific DVD750 DVD player either froze up completely or jumped constantly. After 6 weeks I have had enough and I am never buying Pacific again. I suppose if you buy cheap you get cheap!

I purchased a Pacific dvd player model DVD750 in January of this year. Upon taking it home we tested it and found it to be working ok but not wanting to watch a dvd at that moment left it for a while. When we returned to it we found that not only would it not play but it would not even turn on!Yet my dvd was still inside it! We returned it the following day and were assured that this was an isolated problem so collected a replacment. This one lasted approximatley 6 weeks before succumbing to the same fault - yet again with a dvd in it but not my own this time but a rented one and in the middle of watching it! Once again we collected a replacment, again being assured that this was an isolated incident! Please bear in mind both these machines had to be dismantled in store to get our dvd's back! The next dvd player didn't even last 24 hours before yet again having to be returned. It defied even the set up process and would only play in black and white! Yet again, being the fool that I am and despite numerous calls to the helpline costing me money, I collected a replacment! The next model did last approximatley 2 months before starting to jump whilst playing and doing the opposite of what you asked it to i.e forward rewinded/stop played etc...By this point I had completely lost all faith in this product and asked for my money back!!!!!!! I have since written to the manufacturers but having sent the letter only a month? ago I have not yet recieved a reply!

The Pacific dvd-750 DVD player is supposed to play vcd's but the 2 I've had from Asda didn't. The guy in the shop assured me they should. They are due new stock this week. Will the problem be fixed? I gave in and bought the 1002 model. This plays everything I have tried and was cheaper. Nuff said!

I just bought the machine tonight on the strength of reviews and recomendations that it will play VCD's I have a collection that may well just rot (commercial vcd's ) and will not play !! do not buy look at the instruction manual it now says "video cd function has been Disabled"!! it goes back to ASDA tomorrow !! .I wonder if this comes under trade description law because there was no sticker on the front of the box saying that this function has been disabled.

i have the same problem with the pacific dvd-750 DVD player too. It's because asda apparently told "pacific" about the player playing vcd's, which is illegal. So it's impossible to get done! SORRY!

Unfortunately in February this year Schneider saw fit to remove the Macro Hack from the Pacific DVD750 DVD Player, following this they also removed the VCD Playing facility. Schneider claim it is due to UK Copyright laws!! This all seems really bizarre!! Do they not want to sell any more players?? They have gone the right way about it. I can understand the Macro Hack removal, but why the VCD?? Practically ALL other players support VCD and SVCD. My review now goes down to 1/10. ASDA have been good though for all those returning their players. I can't really see why they should refuse to accept it if the box is missing, were you supposed to keep all the original packaging for the whole three years?? Not everyone has a garage to store empty boxes in. Take it back!

Bought this Pacific DVD750 DVD player and was very pleased with purchase.

Looks great, fairly slim, silver, nice display, great MP3 playback compared to others I have tried.

But... seems to lose track during playback, leading to annoying pauses at random points in the film.

I'm taking it back tommorow.

Video CD's will no longer work on the Pacific dvd-750 DVD player. Do not buy this player! Look elsewhere unless you only play DVD's or MP3's.

Well I'll take my Pacific dvd-750 DVD player back soon as it refuses to play anything anymore. It first started skipping a bit and eventually died... Oh well... My old Samsung DVD player is still going strong, I guess you get what you pay for.

I bought one of these paper weight Pacific DVD750 DVD players. When I tried to play a certain vcd it dumped like mad. I spoke with the help line after I had changed the player twice and was told they were having a lot of trouble with the opticals on this machine. SO WHY ARE THEY STILL SELLING THEM. I have it on good authority that a new model is coming out in April so I'll change it then.
