BLUEMOON(never alone)

anyone know anywhere on the net where theres a pic and specs on the pacific 1000 cant seem to find 1

thinking about getting 1


cheers

I've just been to Asda to pick up a Pacific 750.

But the Pacific 1000 is the same price!!

Whats the difference??

There wasn't much info on the boxes other than, the 1000 had SVCD, VCD on the box and the 750 had MP3, CD-R

A link to a site would come in handy to compare these two, I can't find a site either, only links to sites about Hacks for the machine.

I got the 1000 and it plays MP3s as well. The 1000 is just the newer model.

yea just been to get mine picked up the 1000

plays my vcds and mp3s

good quality machine recommend it to anyone

checked with schneieder who make them 750 is newer mod and it plays cdrw as well
hope that u m8

No, not the Macrovision.
The Region Hack worked fine, instead of going to the number 9 though, pressing the enter key again says All on the screen.

I'm still looking for a macrovision hack for it (I've not tried it out though, never know, the above hack may disable Macro as well!)

not tried it yet will keep looking for macro what do u think of machine ?

You say it plays mp3's

Do they sound ok?

Got rid of one dvd cos although it played mp3's they sounded crap
(yes they played ok on pc)

Take a look

damn it dont work on the 1000 :(

anyone know the code for the 1000???

try looking here

http://www.reviewcentre.com/forum10.html

i had a quick look but the sites slow


HTH

John

had a look at the site and there are about 100 people begging for the code but no one knows it

keep on looking

errrm if its any help, i think the webby for the manufacturer is http://www.pacificdigital.com.sg/ , but the sites down 4 now


:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

John

not 100% sure but i think the 750 is newer, theres a link abit further up which has the macrovision disable code.


not tested though

doesn't work 4 1000 model


HTH

John

bluemoonbaz has it got a 3yr guarentee???

where does it say that???

cheers

i think asda offer a 3 year guarentee with all electrical goods


John


:hdspin: :hdspin: :hdspin: :hdspin:

Guarantee

Yes it has a three year guarantee. You keep the ASDA receipt from ASDa. Its a 1 for 1 replacement so if it goes wrong, it will not be repaired but replaced.


Macrovision
This is from the link JCAT mentioned

macrovision hack for the Pacific DVD-750!!!!
Open Tray.
Enter 4561 on remote.
Press ENTER on remote until display indicates Macrovision OFF.
Close tray.



Region Codes
From HEARTS reply:

press open/close key
either press 8421 on your remote
press enter key untill ALL appears
press open/close
your dvd is now region free


All the above work on the 750!




MP3
All MP3's I've tried all work okay, I'm new to this but I was happy the machine finds the MP3's through Directories on the Disk.

I've tried DVD, CD-R MP3 and VCD's in the machine, they all work fine.

As for the quality, they sound alright to me, but I am connected solely through my TV and not through separate speakers.
The machine has got DTS though, from what I can gather this would make a big difference with separate speakers configured for surround sound.


The machine comes with a SCART cable and also the Red, white and yellow Svideo, audio cables.


Im quite happy with it so far
:tup: :tup: :tup:
Thanks to all those who helped with links, codes etc :)

Glad to see my post helped everyone top machine no probs

^^^^up for top machine

thanx for the good info m8 :tup:

worth another ^^^^^^^^^^^

This machine is also available at Walmart in the US, but they have the model 500 and the 1500. Which one to get??
My apologies, the walmart machine is a apex...still a good deal tho LOL

Ive got a 1000. The remote hack works but now we need a hack to remove macrovision.

Just tried this:


Macrovision

It does not work on the 1000.

PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS THE HACK FOR THE 1000 Model please post.

Heard a few conflicting stories regarding the 750

1) Does the macro hack definately work

2) Is it right this player dosen't play Svcd but the 1000 does

Thanks
Gus

Like I said earlier:

The Macro Hack Works on the 750

Dont know about the SVCD, I will try as soon as I can figure out how to make one.

worth another bump m8s
asda also got shnieder and samsung
dvds in now both £99:tup:

Has ne1 actually got SVCD's to play on these ???

My Bro-In-Law got one as well and we could not get it too....Interested cos maybe we just got a dud one....

Anyway remember fella's u get ya free three year warranty with Asda eh, shame if it breaks down after 2 years or so :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: thinking of takin my Logix back and save meself 40 quid

Well M8, I bought one this week and IMHO I thought it was a piece of......

I could not get it to play DVD's never mind VCD's or SVCD's!!!

I got my money back and bought a CyberHome - 528 from "Richer Sounds". Boy am I happy! :tup:

IMHO there is just *NO* comparison between the two. I test a lot of new stuff being in the IT trade, but nothing in recent times has impressed me anywhere close to this DVD player.:)

Buy it on a 14 day approval from them, you cannot lose! :tup:

had 1 for a couplke of weeks good machine...thanx for the hack m8 top guy

hey lazza maybe you got a rogue one m8
ive got 2 iant had any probs played everthing
dvd vcd etc aint tried svcd yet but other peeps say it does
had loads mail bout it all positive






BLUEMOON NEVER ALONE:tup:

Hi Guys,
I have also been trying too get Hold of the Pacific 750 but I cannot get one.
All Asda stores say that they only have the 1000 Model,Please would somebody answer these Questions as I am Desperate for a DVD Player that Does the Following..................

Can the Pacific 1000 Play VCD/CDR'S/CDRW/MP3'S/DVDR/SVCD

Also does the MACRO VISION/MULTI REGION Remote Hack work on the Pacific 1000,As I am after a DVD that is Macro Vision Disabled and Multi Region Best Regards Gareth.

Yes it does play svcd i bought the 750 and it rocks!!!:tup: :tup:

BLUEMOON NEVER ALONE:tup:
You could be right about that m8. :(

As you say so many people are saying such good things about the 750 it *must* be a good player. My thoughts are that it was really a compatibility issue with my TV (Thomson DPL 28" W/S). Through the Scart it would only play B/W in one but colour in the other. :confused: And the 16:9 would not work, only 4:3 no matter what settings you entered.

But I am glad I bought the CyberHome 528 though, I have tried SVCD's on it as well and they are fine. So many of these cheap DVD players seem much better than the dearer ones though, and that can't be bad for the buyer. :tup:

hey lazza no probs m8
glad u got sorted out any way
all info on bargains for us members
is good info
regards .bluemoonbaz:tup:

worth a ^^^^^^^^^^^^

the macro is disabled on my 1000 machine and the only hack i have put in is the multiregion hack,,anyone tried it since putting this hack in there machine or is it coincidence ..bought 2 of the same havent tried it on the other yet

PACIFIC 750: £89 for 3 years warrenty, DVD all region, Macro Disable, MP3, CD, CD-R & it plays SVCD. Bought one 2 days ago & found the machine well worth the money. I would recommend it to anyone. :tup:

looks like I'll treat my self to one of these on my birthday :).

plays cdrws as well
hey m8s i wish i was on commision from pacific
back to the top:tup: :laugh:

Me too M8,my friends must of been an bought about 20 of these and now my asda haven't got any left of the 750 or the 1000.Has anyone found out about how to get hold of the firmware upgrade and what it exactly does,and also how to find the number to contact schneider.

TOP MACHINE:tup:

Do they definately play svcd
Cheers

Yeo they DEFINITELY play VCDs

No m8 needed to know if played svcd or super vcd not standard vcd
Cheers

They certainly do both models play vcd and svcd,hope this helps,have tried all on my 750 and no probs whatsoever!:tup: :tup:

hi wideboy i got the numb of the asda helpline
ill dig it out tommorow m8 n find out what/where
we can get it
up to the top m8s :tup: :laugh:

think its worth another bump:tup:

nice one bluemoonbaz,keep em coming up again for a top player!If anyone has trouble playing certain svcd's heres what to do if you put one in and it makes the pacific dvd intro sign go all funny like greeny colours and can't see it,dont worry because the counter will start playing after it has done this but you will not have anything on your tv screen,no audio no picture just press stop then play and hey presto all is back to normal and plays fine don't know why it does this on certain svcd's,but if youve got one and this happens that is how to solve it.The only one mine does it on is the 4 disk svcd of lord of the rings,so if you have had trouble don't despair its not a crap version u have got just do this and it will work ok,ps best if it loads without the greeny colours making the pacific screen go funny ok.

top info wideboy not had a prob with it m8
superb machine in fact know peeps with panasonic n sony that dont play as much as it havent had chance to contact schnieder but will get on it tomm:gabby: :tup:

so out of the two, (assuming my local asda stick to the promise that they will be in stock next week!)

which 1 should i get??????? 750 or 1000????

cheers

Either are very good the 750 is the newer one and there is a hack available for disableing the macrovision and to make it region free,the 1000 you can make region free with a hack but as of yet there is no code to disable the macrovision,so it really depends on what u want it for,also the 750 is in sexy silver and the 1000 is in boring black.Another thing is that i believe the 1000 has an in built decoder for dolby digital 5.1 so if you have the means to use this then it would obviously be the best one for you,hope this helps.In my view both are top machines!!!!:tup: :tup:

well said wideboy couldnt said it better myself you cant go wrong with either both superb scheinder getting back to me with the info we require post soon as m8 be lucky
regards baz:gabby: :tup:

does this dvd player play svcds????????

to wideboy & bloonmoonbaz

thanks for your advice------looks like i'm going for the 750!!!!!!

jig

hi m8s the upgrade for the 750 mod is not avail yet bacause the 750 is the latest mod but will be in approx 6 mths it is to make the machine keep pace with new developments ie new ways of playing software etc looks good for the future m8s schneider tell me it will play certain dvdr apparantly dependent on how n which sortware there made they will try and elaborate futher next week so its trail n error for now guys also the 1000 doesent have a hack to make it region free mmmmm unless anyone knows diff hope that helps everyone
regards
m8s:gabby: :tup:

Thanks for the top info M8,keep it coming if you hear any further developments nice one M8,thanks.I think it could be worth investing in a dvdr film and seeing what happens will post reply when i try it ok.:tup: :tup:

thanxs wideboy let me know when u try one
:gabby: :tup:

bluemoonbaz & wideboy----all being well should get the 750 2morrow (dependent on stock). most of my media is dvdr that watch i on my good old ps2!!!

will post here if its ok on the 750

keep em coming!:round:

Nice one jig keep us posted thanks.:tup: :tup:

im thinking of buying the dvd player if the stock is availible but i need to know if it has digital optical out first. this is very important for because i want to record mp3 to md digitally

thanx scousemouse

The 750 has got a digital out but it is a co-axial input on the back not optical cable,dont know about the 1000,hope this helps

My 750 is reserved so when i collect it 2morrow i will try out the dvdrs & let u know.

Just one thing bugging me (!) why is the 750 the 'newer' model?????? Do pacific count backwards or something????:D :beer:

my m8 just bought the 750 will play some svcd. Wont play lotr 4cd svcd. But plays oceans 11.....

Ok here goes:

Tested the following dvdr & dvd silvers on my new shiny 750:
LOTR (dvdr)
Harry Potter (dvdr)
Final Fantasy (dvdr cheaper unbranded media jumps occasionally but it did this in m8s expensive sony)
Cats & Dogs (dvd silver)
Shrek (dvdr)

all worked spot on with the exception of FF as stated above (but was still ok & easily watchable)

all were bought via the BST Software forum from the following traders who all come highly reccomended: OriginalWizards / delsdvds / kaizerboy

good luck all
& btw why is the 750 the newere model????????!!!!!!!:D :D :D

Why does the pacific 1000 play SVCD's immediately and the 750 sometimes does not?? For Harry Potter - disk 1 and LOTR's SVCD I have to wait 30 seconds then press stop then play again. If the 750 is a newer model why does it not advertise that it plays SVCD's yet the 1000 does! and indeed it plays them seamlessly.

Skelly read my posting on one of the former pages of this post and you will see my posting about certain svcd's and u will be able to get lotr to work ok,hope this helps.

Can I just ask if anybody has a sound delay with the Pacific 1000 when watching SVCD's?

I watch a SVCD and everything starts fine, then the sound will start skipping for a fraction of a second at a time, and after a minute or so the sound seems to be running behind (or ahead of) what's happening on screen.

Can someone tell me if this is just a Pacific 1000 problem, if it is I will return it to ASDA and get a 750!

hi m8s for every one the 750 is the latest mod thats from schneider
jig i thought the same thats why i contacted the maker

Hi,

Anyone in the Essex area that knows of an Asda with some of these in stock??? my local shop has sold out.

Cheers

Dal

just got back from asda with a pacific 750 tried the region done mentioned above for region code
press open close ect but it dont go to 9 it goes 12345678all so i selected all.
this may be the stupidest question but does this mean it will play all region now
thanks

mrtango, mine did the same m8, but it works spot on.:)

Hopefully be getting one of these 750's today.

Hope its as good as you say it is, cos i really wanna watch VCD's and SVCD's

Cheers

Dal

thats splendid :) now all i got to do is get meself some vcds to try cheers mate

Hi,

Got the last one (750) from my local Asda store, also have a couple of VCDs to try out will post my results when ive set it up.

If anyone else has just bought one and tryied various types of dvd/vcd/mp3 etc etc can they post there results????

Cheers

Dal

well done there getting thin on the ground m8
plays vcd dvd svcd no prob and peeps tell me
they play dvdr as well hope that helps u :gabby: :tup:

up we go:)

i have both the 750and 1000 model

i can tell u that both play vcds,both play svcds and mp3s,havent got any dvdrs to try,both play cd-r

every asda in nottm have sold clean of the 1000,and there are only a few 750s left

quality machine, u cant go wrong

that what i keep telling everybody @ £89 with 3yr gar n it plays everything its almost criminal ive got em both as well bounty_killa
best bargain ive found wish someone sold printers as good now theres a thought ? wheres that number hahaha:gabby: :tup:

Bought a 750 model today after reading the post. Didn't want to miss out on a deal like this. The multi-region and macrovision-off works a treat. Oh, if only my older multi-region Panasonic DVD-RV25 had as many features as this - It couldn't even read cdr's. :(

Thanks bluemoonbaz, and the rest of you guys for the info.

thanxs ragingdevil glad u didnt miss out m8
back to the top again:gabby: :tup:

Hi All,

Installed my 750 machine last night.

I have to say it plays everything ive chucked at it, and the quality is fantastic. It took 15 seconds to input the macrovision and multi region codes.

If you want a DVD player and you dont have much cash then this is the one to get, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks to supermouse and bluemoonbaz for showing me this post during the week, pleased i didnt miss out.

You still reading this, you should be down your local Asda store picking up a 750!!!!!

Cheers All.

Dal

im off to watch Shrek REGION1 ill have you know!!

glad u like it unfortunately its sold out in my local asda just waiting for a delivery :(

and its scousemouse :beer: lol

Sorry for not putting anymore posts up until today had major probs with ntl connecting to this site!I must say the 750 is a quality machine,my m8 has got a sony that cost at least 3 - 4 times more than my pacific,and it can't play half the stuff mine can,also took mine round and put it on his tv and he even said the picture quality was as good if not better than his sony,so if you wanna go and waste loads a money on a top brand go ahead but my advice is stop reading these post and get down to your nearest asda NOW!!!!!

cant be many left now--------go get 1:)

hey m8 bet pacific cant belive it i know my local asda,s cant keep up with demand got 4 in and sold em so hang in there if u aint got one yet
its worth waiting for top machine
your welcome w3dal n ragingdevil
cheers for every ones input:gabby: :tup:

Ok Ok Ok.... you win.

Having been disappointed with the sound on my Decca, I've decided to take it back and nip down to Asda tomorrow. They had three left yesterday, so hopefully there may be one left for me!

Anyone know whether or not I'll get my 3 year guarantee money back on the Decca? I bought it a week last Friday and paid an extra £20 for the priveledge of having a 3 year guarantee, which comes as standard from Asda. Anyone?????

http://www.ewandew.com/sig/cheddar.gif

Cheddar,

Worth asking, i would of thought they will. You usually get a 14 day money back no quibble guarantee.

Good choice on the 750, hope you get one, they are top!!!

Cheers

Dal

ar so chedder u give in at last hahaha
u wont be sorry m8:gabby: :tup:

Oh dear..... Asda are clean out of Pacific 750's :(

I tried four in the area, and no joy. In fact, my local Asda had three in yesterday (Sunday) morning. Today they have none. Selling like hot cakes!

Asda told me that they're expecting more deliveries all the time, so don't panic people! They'll be available again VERY soon (probably this week) :)

Fingers crossed :p

http://www.ewandew.com/sig/cheddar.gif

yeah they just seem to be getting small deliveries 3/4 at a time but reg though im waiting for another my self

hang in there chedder m8:gabby: :tup:

What about the Wharfdale M5 does it do all the Pacifics do?

hi djrays cant say i know m8 maybe try seperate post might have more luck
btw m8 s my local asda says it had 152 peeps waiting last week for the 750 there phoning at 7am to check stock
wow now thats what i call demand
well according to ru$$rip every bodies wrong?
mmmmm i ll take my chance with the backup 3 year gar :gabby: :tup:

Whats the point of a 3 yr guarantee if the device does not play DVDR's or SVCD's correctly?

The FWS DVDR's look set to be the insdustry-standard for unbranded DVDR's. They simply dont play correctly on the 750's. - after about 10 mins the DVD will skip and even stop. The industry standard ripping software DVD2SVCD produces disk1 that does not lip synch correctly on the 750's. If people need to test SVCD's on these things dont take my word go and get urself a copy of LOTR on SVCD and see what I mean - ensure you test each of the disks. You will find split screens and you will find that you have to pratt around stoping and starting the disk for the display to appear.

Keep your receipts folks and and Dont say I didnt warn you all.........

Ive played 3 different SVCD films on my 750 and all have worked fine.

Also someone on this topic has tried DVDrs and they play fine 2.

At the end of the day the machine is 89 quid. If u want a machine that plays svcds better you should be looking at the 200 + mark

Dal

well all i can say is it plays dvds and mp3s lol cos i aint got no vcds ect but 4 of me mates ave seen the player and they too have shot to asda to get it im well satisfied with it . anyone got a list of vcds while we on the subject ?

in all honesty m8s i havent had a prob with this dvd
played everything well happy hope this post be of help

Cheddar,

Where abouts are u in the UK?? we seem to have a good supply in sunny Essex??

Watched 2 SVCDs over the weekend back2back and they played spot on, so happy with this player ive sold my toshiba DVD player to my Dad.

These really do rock for the price.

Dal

this player seems to be the best to get for the price what I would like to know about the 750 and the 1000 is :
does it deffinitely rewind and fast forward during the playback of SVCDS and VCDS ??

Cheers

Matt

The 750 model can rewind and fast forward at speeds of x2, x5, x10(?), x20 - not sure about the x10, but its definetly the other speeds, both on VCD's and SVCD's.

Yep, it can on SVCDs.

Dal

iagree m8 it can do also nice to zoom out widescreen to full pic
good full function remote:gabby: :tup:

nice one i may have to purchase one of these babies

To true M8 could't agrre with you more not had any probs with mine at all,and when peoples go wrong after a year and chuck them in the bin i will just go back to good old asda and either get a refund or swap it for an even better one from pacific in years to come,keep em coming boys!:tup: :tup:

cheers
M.E.

I dont understand..
Whats the hack do..
there are too many pages for me to read!!!

Which one to get ?? 750 or the 1000 ??

Im lost!!

Can someone enlighten me on this ? Looks like i have to go to asda soon :)

Hi,

The 750 can be hacked to play multiregion DVD's and have Macrovision turned off. The 1000 you cant. The 750 is silver and the 1000 is black.

if you can get one go for the 750.

well pleased with mine!!

Dal

went to asda today and they are sold out !!!!! noooooooooooo! however they did have a few players in there made by schneider, are they as good ?? Is there anywhere else you can buy the pacific 750 or is it just asda ??

Macrovision
This is from the link JCAT mentioned

macrovision hack for the Pacific DVD-750!!!!
Open Tray.
Enter 4561 on remote.
Press ENTER on remote until display indicates Macrovision OFF.
Close tray.



Region Codes
From HEARTS reply:

press open/close key
either press 8421 on your remote
press enter key untill ALL appears
press open/close
your dvd is now region free


All the above work on the 750!




MP3
All MP3's I've tried all work okay, I'm new to this but I was happy the machine finds the MP3's through Directories on the Disk.

I've tried DVD, CD-R MP3 and VCD's in the machine, they all work fine.

As for the quality, they sound alright to me, but I am connected solely through my TV and not through separate speakers.
The machine has got DTS though, from what I can gather this would make a big difference with separate speakers configured for surround sound.


The machine comes with a SCART cable and also the Red, white and yellow Svideo, audio cables.


Im quite happy with it so far
:tup: :tup: :tup:
Thanks to all those who helped with links, codes etc :)

:( sorry folks
,the partys over the paciffic codes dont do macrovision any more they must have updated machine:tdown:

Hi,

The multi region hack and macrovision hack work fine together on my 750.

Dal

here u go m8 hope this helps:laugh: :tup:

Had a logix 3000 o.k but this is far better the pic and sound is great
and plays everything just give the logix to the olds

top guy and top player

There seem to be so many problems with this new version of the Pacific 750 (in terms of the macro/region hack working together) that I decided to go out and buy the Dansai 852 (Tesco in Prestwich, Manchester, have a plentiful supply of the 852 and 1010 models).

I have had a Decca before, and took it back because of the poor sound quality, but this Dansai is amazing!

Personally, I think it's nicer looking than the Pacific, and at only £99.49, it's only a tenner more than the Pacific without all these problems.

I'm not trying to put anyone down with the Pacific - my m8 has one and is very happy with it, but I just feel that those who are looking for a new budget DVD player should consider the Dansai.

The 1010 model is also available at Tesco for £85, making it cheaper than the Pacific 750, too!

http://www.ewandew.com/sig/cheddar.gif

whats the diff 1010/ 852 ??????:gabby: :tup:

I don't honestly know m8. The 1010 doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the 852, but I think they both play the same formats. They're completely different units though.

I just figured the 852 was a nicer looking model and everyone on the DVD player review sites have been raving on about how wonderful it is :)

Anyone else know what the differences are between them?

Cheddar! :D

The 1010 doesnt have an LCD screen on the unit which for me is very important as this displays Tracks etc. & remaining minutes on Disc. Also the 1010 doesnt have Macro removal. For these 2 reasons I opted for the 852, if you have an extra £15 you would be silly not to go for the 852. Unless you prefer a midi size DVD player than go for 1010

bub

thanxs chedder n bub1:tup:

can this densia play all the thing that the pacific 750 can play?????

The Dansais play everything but doesnt struggle on SVDs as some Pacifics do. I originally bought a Pacific 750 and tried several discs and all I can say it was a fussy machine especially with SVSds you have to start and stop machine to get them started. I took mine back and am very happy with the Dansai which I could have taken back aswell if I wanted

bub

okay,if i can,t get a paciffic without macrovision removed can i remove macrovision on a dansia:beer: all

Yes you can remove Macro but on the 852 model only

bub

nice one bub1:D .don,suppose u have the code:tup:

if it is the danasi 852 hack you want it is below

cheers m8:D

Here is my problem.
I bought the Minato G1 from Tesco's last year. Generally happy with it, but it has real problems with VCD and SVCDs with audio sync, which other people have mentioned.
I've tried to hassle tesco for a refund, but they say as I've had it for more than a month I should have tested it by now.
I'm now going to sell the player, and buy something that is better suited to VCDs and SVCDS. Here are my choices:

Dansai 852 - seems a good player and a reasonable price, seems to play vcd ok
pacific 750 - generally rated highly, but now no macrovision disable option now. 3 year warrany. I've heard SVCD playback can be a bit fussy.

I'm not too bothered on the macrovision side, this is a bonus really. It needs to be region free/selectable, and must play VCD/SVCD with no audio sync probs.

Your comments would be appreciated!!!

Ta

well emailrob asda 3year 3year not a month replace at any time in the warranrty 3years!!! :idea: :idea: long enough to check it out not happy take it back no probs no arguments pacific 1000 or 750 try it dont likr it get a refund with no probs i rest my case :p :tup: :tup:

Never tried the Pacific - that's bluemoonbaz's area ;)

But I do have a Dansai 852 and it is a superb machine. Looks much nicer than the Pacific, too, and doesn't have the problems with the macro and multiregion hacks that the Pacific currently has.

Only down side to the Dansai is that Tesco only offer a 1-year guarantee as standard and it's a tenner more.

Take a look at both and then decide.

Cheddar! :D

yo chedder btw iam imparcial m8 my m8s cant find any pacifics so ive recommended the dansai from tesco to em :laugh: :tup:

Bluemoonbaz - yes m8, I know you're impartial, but you know more about the Pacifics than I do (I've never had one!) :)

I notice you're in Manchester, so tell your m8's to go to Tesco in Prestwich. Got mine from there last week and they had loads in stock (both the 1010 and 852).

:tup:

Cheddar! :D

cheers chedder thanxs for the info m8 will pass it on:) :) :tup:

I can get hold of a 852 and 1010 from my local tesco. I've heard about the issues with the pacific and SVCDs which worries me. I know the 1010 does not have an lcd panel, are there any other differences between this and the 852?
Thanks all

well emailrob ive had 8 svcd of 3 diff traders all diff media and they all play 22 discs !!::idea: :tup: :gabby:

Cheers bluemoon

OK looks like the 1010 is the one. Are there any things the 1010 cannot do, compared to the 852?
Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything!

Must be a few rogues then! Got one, won't play dvd-r or dvd's .......OK on vcds & svcd, I'm giving the Mica Classica a try . it got top marks in What dvd.....multi-region, macro and playsvcd/svcd/mp3.....that's me off to spend me money then!!
mike

what machine m8???:gabby:

Got the 1010 yesterday, no audio sync problems.
I've been told it will play DVDR ok, the only one I have (LOTR) just brings up the file menu screen. Is this the player or the disc?
Cheers

dont know m8 ive got the pacifics but chedder can prob help u m8 check back through post

THE PACIFIC 750 HAS NOT HAD VCD FEATURE DISABLED only leaflet inserted saying it has been to cover themselves due to them not being able to garr all vcd media plays :tup: :tup: hope this helps m8s

Is anybody having any problems with the pacific 750 freezing frequently?

I recently bought a Dansai 852 from Tesco, at first it seemed fine, played svcd fine mp3 etc, but then i slowly noticed onl vcds the sound would suddenly go out of sync and would not rectify itself.

I have tried numerous films from different traders and the results are the same

At first i thought i had a bargain, but i'll be taking it back tomorrow, so if anyone can recommend a machine that plays everything without the faults mentioned, myself and a few others would be grateful.

I might pop along to Richer Sounds and try a cyberhome 528.

Anyone got one?:confused:

Thats strange Jamo must be your machine, I have tried an endless amount of VCDs and SVCDs from dealers and my own without a problem anywhere. I havent heard any other complaints from other 852 owners.

bub

Mine is still going Strong :tup:

ME 2 M8:tup:

My 852 used to pause the film at eratic times during a film I thought it was films but played without a hitch on a friends, got it replaced with the 1010 this one plays all films wthout a glitch.
The 1010 cannot remove Macrovision though and does not have a digital readout on the front.
Both seem good but there does seem to be a lot of dud ones, my mates had 3 go bang on him & there bloody hard to replace cos there allways out of stock!!
