Does anyone know off a hack for the hitachi dvp305 to play cdr disks as i have found out that the hitachi dvd player as got the capability of reading cdr`s .
I just wondered if I could play vcd`s on this dvd player as it does state videocd emblem on the player.
Or am I being misled?

You`ve been misled I`m afraid - the Hitachi DV-P305 (which is a re-badged Samsung 511) does *not* have the capability to read most CD-Rs reliably. See this thread for a bit more discussion if you`re interested...
In a nutshell, it`s a hardware limitation, not something you can get around with a hack.
You can play VCDs on this player, but only pressed (factory-made) ones, not those burned onto CD-R.

Thanks Mike for the info I thought might be the case.
I also have a alba dvd108 with a awkward hack to play vcd`s until someone can figure out what the permanent hack is then I might consider buying a dvd player that plays everything. Thanks Andy
