    Fenella - You have likely to have it switched to NTSC on an incompatible set.
    Dont worry just press "system" on the top of the remote until it displays PAL.
  • They are all gone!


    :(:(:(:(
  • I had one reserved. Have just received an e-mail saying it will be sent to the store I selected in the next 4 working days

    Thanks Dr. Robert for your help but this did not work - I still have no colour.
    Any other ideas what I have done wrong? ???

    Hi there, Can you tell me is it a Region 1 (USA) disk or standard Region 2(UK) one. If it is a region 1 it may be a NTSC compatability issue.
    Other problem could be how you have set up the player and the TV. Usually for DVD players, set the picture output to s-video, then make sure your TV external channel is s-video also.
    Hope this helps and isn't too technical :o

    Thanks Errolevans for replying so quickly.
    Alas far too technical for me. I will have to wait until my techno son can spare some time for his old mother!

    hey guys,

    i have a small problem, dunno if anyone can help.

    When i shove in a mic, enable Karaoke mode, there is literally no sound. Same thing on two machines now.

    Anyone know??

    Thanks

  • managed to get one.

    It doesn't seem to play any xvids and they come up as vcd1.1's then the player just stops, is there any chance of getting them to work?

    had a problem with the sound on one disk just fiddled with the menu and managed to fix it, i have no idea how i did it though.

    the tray is a bit flimsy so im really careful when i put the disks in, but for 29.99 im really not complaining, was a really good find, thanks to original poster. ;D
