ALBA DVD113 Sound/Video Sync problem
Hi,
I have an ALBA DVD113, the problem I have is that the Video and sound are not in sync, I know the disc is OK as I`ve played it on another player. In fact the problem exists with all the discs that I`ve tried. The sound is delayed noticeably and it is very annoying trying to watch a movie. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what might be causing the problem? and how to fix it? I`ve tried the various different sound configurations options but none of them seem to make any difference. Thanks.
Ralph

Ralph,
The problem is software related and there is an upgrade available for this problem. All you have to do is call their helpline answer a few questions to find out the software version and they will send you a disc.

Alba telephone number is 0208 7873111.
They know they have a problem.
If your unit displays a red/white screen an upgrade/fix DVD (disc) can be sent in 2-3 weeks or return for a refund/replacement.
If you have a green/white screen then it is a newer version and you have a problem which needs a replacement unit.
You need to be in front of your DVD when calling Alba as there are some keystrokes to follow.

Just saw a review in What Video mag
It says no CD-R/RW playback? Is this true?

I had same problem with my alba 113. Phoned Alba and they said take it back to Argos in 2 -3 weeks. I returned it and got a refund. I have ordered a Cyberhome 528 from unbeatable.co.uk which is multi-region, plays cd-r, vcd, mp3, etc for £109.

I have just tried a CD-R VCD and couldn`t get it working. Have you managed to find out if it is true or found a crack. Please email me at sillenehpetsyrag[at]moc.liamtoh with any info.
Thanks
