Pioneer DV 505 pc disk hack

does anyone know how to get my pioneer DV505 to play pc video disks?
it already plays region 1&2 by puching in a code via the remote. If anyone can tell me how to get it to play pc video disks that would be great.

many thanks in anticipation

The laser`s on those machines are notorious for going out of alignment. Although technically the DV505 should play any copied VCD, if the laser is on it`s way out, it may stop playing copied discs or even audio CDs, but continue to play DVDs. We`ve also seen it the other way around, where copied discs and audio CDs played fine, but DVD playback went.

The laser could be changed, but it`d cost more than the value of the player :-)

Bin it! The DV-444 is a good step up from the DV505, you`ll be well impressed at the difference.
