hello,has anyone seen the disney 13"tv and the dvd players to go with them? they come in mickey mouse or prinsess colors.well any way I bought the mickey mouse one and set it up. the manual says it won't play dvd+r,but it will play dvd-r. so I backed up lion king to a dvd-r using shrink 3.0 and nero6 the error on the screen says the same thing for both dvd+/- this disk cannot be played because of impropper format. I don't understand,this is the first dvd player that hasent played eather of +/-r disks. looks like it's made by memcorp (memorex electronic) has anyone herd of this ?
the model # is dvd2000-c
also I used compusa dvd-r disc could this be a problem ?

thanks for any help I'm in a real jam. kids really like it,and the wife thinks it's so cute and don't want to ruin the look ( because the tv stackes on top of the dvd player.) :rolleyes:

If it was up to me,back to circuit city I would go! :devil:

The manual will be an absolute treat but the product will be overpriced. I would suspect it has full compliance with all drm specs so will not play back a disc without say, a region code. Maybe it has an inbuilt list of titles it will only play from pressed DVD eg lion king mulan etc (only joking).:D

well it's not really over priced, was 99.00 for the dvd player, 119.00 for the tv, and you got a free am/fm walkman for buying both at circuit city.

but in shrink it says if you don't spesify the region it will make it region free. I will try again this time spesify my region. I'll post results.

back again,I slected region 1 and used nero's imiage recorder, then burned the imiage to a dvd-r and suprise,suprise it worked.
has anyone heard of having to spesify the correct region and not make it region free for a cirtin player to work ?

well anyway thanks for your help wolfman.
