Hey, i just got a sanyo 7201, and have burned VCDs for it, with both Nero and ECDC 5. It plays fine. It will come up VCD, and then it shows the number of tracks and the total time. If you advance through the tracks at this point with the next and previous buttons, you can monitor the times when you press play. Try skipping the first few tracks. If it's not showing you the tracks at all, chances are that your VCD wasn't burned properly. Hope this helps.

I also own a sanyo 7201 some vcd's are fine others play but the frames appear appear to stick and others display vcd then pbc and then 00.00 nothing happens.It has something to do with the way the film was originally ripped.You are better off buying a cheapo dvd player that plays everything like the rowa (ASDA'S own) or safeways had one in a few weeks ago.

I've owned two of these players (first one stolen)and i've had not a single problem with either machine! i burn my own s.v.c.d&v.c.d's,mp3's it must be the v.c.d's you are buying? In my opinion the sanyo 7201 player is very affordable(£149.99) and great quality!!

Did anyone ever manage to get a regional unlocking code for this dvd!!!! I have moved to Aus and can't play any of my english dvd's....................

I downloaded and burned a cd to hack my Sanyo 7201 (bought in Japan), following the instructions at http://www.marsh1975.freeserve.co.uk/. At the end of the process, instead of the red standby light coming on, the player went dead. Can't even turn it back on to eject the cd. I understand for hacks gone wrong, a new firmware chip can be bought and installed to get it running again. Anybody have any info on doing this or getting it done? Thanks in advance.

Do we have any more success stories for the zone update provided above, as Seymore (seymore@iname.com), April 13, 2003 seems to have encountered serious problems (I don't want to stuff the player!)?

Anyone out there got it working without any problems like -- Mark (videoram@postmster.co.uk), February 18, 2003?

Did you know that if you get a "LOCK" message on your DVD-7201 and the door will not open that if you enter you number as you instruct in your patch instruction it fixes this problem.. (460076) Is this number a master reset and if so do you have any more numbers which will be helpful to me David ferretdoc@pacific.net.au

-- David Smith (ferretdoc@pacific.net.au), May 14, 2003.

Cheers in advance
