Page 1 of Pacific 750 and 1000

Hi,
Visited a couple of Asda`s and talked about the 750 and 1000 models.

1st. store. I was told the the 750 will do Mepg 3 the 1000 will not,
what difference will this feature make please? Also told the 750 will not
play VCD`s of which I have some, but the 1000 will.

2nd, store told me both would play VCD`s, anyone tried them on the 750?

These old discs are with my old Philips CDi machine which has a cartridge into enable it to play movies.

Odd that the 750 shouts about mp3s on the box while the 1000 does not, but even in the 1000`s manual mp3 is mentioned.
The 1000 plays standard VCDs I made on my PC with Nero Burning ROM no problem. It also plays mp3s, and its black!
Its also supposed to play SuperVCDs but I haven`t tried that.

The only difference between the two is that the 1000 has a dolby decoder and the 750 does not. If that does not bother you then go for the 750 because this supports RGB out. whereas the 1000 does not. Had both these machines but in the end got the Yelo 800. For the money though they are good players. They both play MP3, SVCD etc.

I in fact tried both and choose to keep the Pacific 750 as I found, as you say, the 1000 does not do rgb on the scart.

Surprised on what you say on the DD of the 750.
Not expert on this, but book says it decodes AC-3, DTS, also carries DD and DTS logos.
The manual shows how to connect to a 6 channel amplifier with a DD ac3 decoder or processor.
Its Audio set up menu lists, DD,DTS, Mp3 and Others.
Your further explanation welcomed.

I use a normal Yamaha AV Prologic AV amp. your advise at to the correct setting of the 750 audio menu again welcomed.
Many thanks.

Does the 750 play VCD-Rs? You know the kind I mean;)

Also will it play CD-RWs?

Cheers.
