The hack to enable VCD mentioned earlier doesn't work on my unit. This hack (which is the same as for the T512) works fine:

-switch on unit
-press Pause on RC
-enter 1472 (display shows 01??)
-press curser up until display shows 04 ??
-now press "Program" "4" "Program" "5"
-Display shows 04dE
-press "Enter" - display flash one time
-press " Return"
-switch unit off

The Australian version plays SVCD straight out of the box ! Excellent picture/audio quality. SVCD: Max of 2495 bitrate for video + 224 for audio (48 KHz Ok) plays well.

This works officially on the T-531 too: NAD describes this procedure in a service info.

Tested, works on the T-531 too.

Anyone wants to try this? It is slightly different from the LG-4730 description?

NAD, so nothing fancy to look at. But verry good picture quality en EXCELENT sound! If your CD player is getting old, try this player as a replacement. You'll get a CD-player with a perfect sound quality. And then you have a nice DVD player for free ;-)

Just a pitty Filenames en IDtag's are not supported.

hi,

as this is my first dvd-player ever, i don't have any comparison but it's a quite good player.

mp3: played everything i tested so far, but only displays first x chars (don't know right now) of the filename, afaik it doesn't display id3-tags.

vcd: you first have to enable it with a hack, but once enabled, it played everything i tried.

svcd: no support for svcd.

dvd+/-r/rw: couldn't test it, don't have a dvd-burner.

picture quality is very good, sound too.

note: can be hacked to be region-free!

I burn my CDs with Neo and all brands of CD-R and CD-RW works. I even have some really transparent noname CD-Rs.

Playing VCD is easily enabled using the remote. Same codes as for LG DVD-4730 works (region hack too).

Really superb stereo sound playback! This player can double as a CD player anytime.

Comments:
Decent DVD and CD player. Nothing exceptional.

MP3 support is somewhat limited, max 256 tracks, no random play, no ID tags and truncates long file names.

All DVD+R and +RW disks I've tried worked (burned with hp200i firmware 1.36).

The NADT531 is supposedly a modified LG DVD player, so region hack and VCD hack should be the same.
