RE: Daewoo DV-500 ES Problems playing certain discs

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, they`ve tried the discs in question in a friend`s dvd player and they work fine. They just asked me if I could figure out why it was happening and whether I could solve it.

Daewoo DV-500 ES Problems playing certain discs

Bit of a long shot, but someone might know why. My friends have this DVD player and have experienced problems with it playing some discs that are given away free in the newspapers - like last week`s Guardian give-away. There`s picture but no audio.

It can`t be a multi-region problem as these discs are region 2 and I can`t see them being in NTSC rather than PAL for the same reason. Only thing I can think of is that somehow some discs trigger the settings to be played on a home cinema / sound system and its outputting as if there are lots of surround sound speakers and not outputting anything to the tv`s inbuilt speakers?

Any other ideas for me to tell them to trouble shoot? I saw the posting about the multi-region hack and will pass that onto them anyway but don`t think that will solve their problem. They are an older couple and don`t play home written discs or anything like that - this is just some commerically released discs...
