N/A 9 of 10 Comments: I have found that this player has problems with some DVD menu systems. I don't know if the menu on the DVD's were not standard, but in 5 different models of DVD player they were tested in, this is the only player to have a problem. It brings the menu up, but when you select the option to play the movie, the command is either ignored, or it goes to the screen that you get when you have no disc in.

However, I got 3 DVD-R's that were 'Choice' branded. These worked until later chapters - skipping and finally crashing out. These DVD-R's worked fine on my flatmates DVD player(Alba 108). Still slow and noisy.

I tested the DVD-RW on a Panasonic RV31 (also a UK model that didn't have MP3) with success. None of them are working on my Aiwa... but I have mp3 now... Else no problem.

Plays all VCD's no problem, (1.0 and 2.0) - I have used unbranded, Samsung and TDK disks. Plays CDR and CDRW no problem. Great picture - perhaps the sound a little quiet.

CVD? $200 N/A 7 of 10 Comments: wel for as far as the XVCD part im not sure about that. tried some sort of hack which basically ment changing the header of a mpg2 file into VCD instead of SVCD. it played only hicking sound and a screen which was flickering a lot. (while in ffwd-play it played perfectly and what a quality, but in normal play, weird sound and screen). Think it doesnt completely supports XVCD, dunno the precise reason for that...blablabla further its a pretty good player. if u got this Aiwa in region 2-model check http://www.dvdregionhacks.com for a firmware update which will make it region free. also read somehwere that the chip in it is capable of playing SVCD's dunno much about that deal (wopuld love to know more about it if any of u guys would happen to know something about it)
