Obviously you bought a Sony 7000 with switches. So did I. (The first two and a half months this DVD player was available Sony manufactured them with switches inside the unit mounted on a circuit board labeled S001 and S002. When you remove the heavy metal cover and slide the switches to the opposite position you defeat Macrovision and Regional Coding, forever. Replace the cover and you're done. When too many people realized what Sony had done and started reversing the switches Sony took them off of all future models.)

Your local offcials would like to remind you nothing says New Year's Celebration like the joyous sound of guns being fired into the air! Persons with uzis and automatic submachine guns are especially encouaged to discharge automatic gunfire to welcome the New Millenium! Those lucky Americans fortunate enough to own anti aircraft artillery are also encoraged to welcome the Millenium with a bang! And, for Gods sake, don't let the start of another Millenium pass you by without starting a few neighborhood riots! Remember, nothing puts the fun in Millenium like a little well planned looting! - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Matter of fact, my Sony S7700 DVD player has no problem with CD-R's and CD-RW's. But then again, maybe that's why it was so expensive 3#-) Adios, LarZ --- TAMA - The Strongest Name in Drums --- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ralph Smeets Sent: Tuesday, 21 December 1999 20:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: MD: Image is nothing.

So what? It still sucks big-time. I've never seen a DVD player for a PC
have problems with playing audio CD-R's - so I obviously never thought to
check that particular factoid about my Sony DVD player before buying it.
And I mean, really, who gives a crap if it requires engineering effort -
it's not like it hasn't been done before. It's not exactly rocket science
('specially for someone like Sony). I personally think it's because Sony
thinks CD-R's are all recorded by people pirating tunez, which is not the
case here - i just made some mix CD-R's from my CD's and now they're
basically useless, unless I play them in my 'puter. sheesh how dumb
just my 2 cents,

Yeah right. You do know that it requires extra engineering to allow a DVD
deck to read CD-Rs? They are invisible to the typical DVD wavelength laser.

All second generation DVD players read CD-R's.

Are CDR's bluish in mirrored image on the playing surface? If so, the weekly HitDisc series D discs (dance only, the A, B and C discs look like mormal CD's) are CDR's. The Sony 7000 DVD Player will play them. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You bought the thing. Before I forked over my cash, I made sure to check
that my DVD player had a dual pickup before I bought it. Since I have been
interested in DVD since it was announced, I was well versed in the three
major compatibility problems of the format, and managed to purchase a unit
which worked around all of them. (The three problems being macrovision
(cannot route through a VCR), region coding (cannot play imported DVDs) and
CD-R invisibility.)
