Anyone know if the E55 should play photo CD-R`s ? I got some sort of `Unsupported media` message when trying to play it in my E55. As per usual when the Panny spits the dummy,the cheap as chips Asda thing in the bedroom played the disc as a slideshow no problem. I`m usually a staunch supporter of the Panny machines,but that hacked me right off.... >:(

I`m sure in the manual it specifies under what discs can and can`t be played that jpeg photo discs can`t be played. Can`t get on to panny site to confirm that though

Panny confirmed it by e-mail. It`s been getting on my nerves lately. >:( I`ve been given films to watch by friends that it spits out and now this. :/ Meanwhile,the godawful piece of s*** I bought for the bedroom plays them all without a care in the world. :¦

Most of the cheapo supermarket DVDs are manufactured from PC components (I`ve heard) so are much more likely to play other formats. I had a Compacks that played virtually everthing, including CDs with mpeg files on (ie not created as a VCD).
I bought a Panny S27 for £40, so I could watch RAM stuff recorded on my E55 in the bedroom. I sold a 5 yr old Samsung DVD player on e-bay for £27 to help fund it. Not a bad upgrade for £13! The other bonus is that the S27 has Hi-MAT - a Panasonic/Microsoft collaboration to support picture CDs. It gives you thumbnails, slide shows and much that a PC display can...but having said that, TV`s will rarely display digital photos as well as a PC monitor will.
