It can play VCDs.

However, it can *only* play "pressed" (i.e. commercially produced) compact discs - it cannot play home-recorded CD-Rs or CD-RWs at all. That`s a technical limitation of the 511, you`d have to buy the more expensive 611 model if you want to play those.

I believe you may get some kinda result if you use Vivastar CD-R`s from Argos....but don`t quote me on it! These have been known to work with Samsung`s before....
