Help for Ferguson 400FE?

Col-C (Harmless) posted this on Tuesday, 25th December 2001, 21:10

I just got a DVD player today, and have already applied the multiregion, and VCD cracks.

Is there any way to make this machine read CD-R copies, because at the moment, it either refuses to read them, or plays 8 secs, pauses for 2, plays another 8.....making it unlistenable.

Thanks for a great site!

Colin.

I have the same player, the laser is not the right wavelength to play CR-R`s I`m afraid, so not hadset hack will help.
You`re lucky to have found a brand of CD-R`s thay plays at all.
However, it does play CD-RW`s fine.

Thanks for the advice....saved me lots of trying :)

Do you find you can`t play DVD`s until you take the VCD hack off?

Apart from that, an excellent little player, I think it`s great :)

I found that it plays both DVD`s and VCD`s fine, automatically switching between modes, though sometimes it takes a long time to recognise a DVD.
I compared the player against my Pioneer 505 that`s in my cinema room, and apart from the static menu screens, which seem to be at a lower resolution, the picture was near identical. Much better than the Samsung 709.
It also manages to put out a pure NTSC signal when switched to AUTO in the picture menu which suits my Davis 450 projector just fine.

Hi Rob

How do you get this player to work on vcd`s?
I have done the hack as per Tevion dvd-200 and it fails saying no disk.
I have tryed CD-R, CD-RW VCDs.
I think i may be appling the hack wrong.
when i put the audio cd in,do you let it play? (no2 ).
and when you press the index button it reads "all-1" not as stated which is "1-all" (No6).
the last operation press No1 button (the tray is out).
do you just put the vcd in ,
I have tryed various methods but no luck.
The Regon hack worked 1st time no probs.
This is my 1st DVD Player so i am new to this game.

any suggestions would be apprecieated.

Cheers Eddie.



Next Day :
after 1001 try`s finaly cracked it it works 100%
but now trying to find CD-R media that it will read .
CD-RW is !00% any brand.
Any ideas.

cheers Eddie.

Eddie,

I have just obtained a DVD 400 FE and the Tevion dvd-200 hack, the multi region bit works OK, but I`ve stuck on the VCD side of the hack.

As per your original message, do you wait for the audio CD to start.

At operation 6 pressing index button does not bring up the 1-All messager, however, the open key brings up the messgae regarding enabling the VCD by pressing button 1.

Pressing button 1 says VCD is enabled, but my VCDs do not play (no disc message)

I am on try no 100, still a long way to go

Regards

Freeby
