Wharf 750 no longer plays VCDs

I have a problem with my Wharfedale 750 no longer playing VCDs (same disks it used to play quite happily).
When a VCD is inserted it spins it up a cpouple of times to try and then times out. Some of the old disks still manage to get palying now and again but not always.
All other disks play OK (DVD, CD, CDR, CDRW). This happens with new VCDs as well as old ones.

I have tried cleaning the lens with IPA but still no success.

If anyone can help I would much appreciate it

Thanks,

Gordon

Wharfedale 750 no longer plays VCDs

My Wharfedale 750 used to play VCDs no problem, but now wont recognise any of them bar about 3 and even then its a struggle. On a friends 750 they still play ok.
I have tried cleaning the lens with IPA and a swab but to no improvement. Can anyone offer any advice or tips.

Thanks,

Gordon

ROM for DVD750 to play MP3s????

I have the older version of the Wharfedale DVD750 that doesn`t play MP3 files. Is it possible to get hold of a EPROM upgrade to allow my machine to play these? Or is it more complicated than this?

Taping a region 1 DVD

If I try to tape a region 1 DVD, when play it back the picture is black and white and messed up. I am assuming that this is because of the NTSC format.
Is there any way around this? Or will it play back ok on a video that does NTSC playback?
