Toshiba SD-1600 "Disc Error"

[allen214]

I purchased 3 Hong Kong films on VCD, and none will play on my Toshiba SD-1600 DVD player. The display flashes 'loading' but then 'disc error' comes up on the display. This happens with all 6 discs. The instruction manual doesn't mention VCDs on either its list of playable or incompatable discs. I have seen two lists of DVD players on the internet, and both say this model is capable of VCD playback.

Also, the discs won't play on my Mac. When I insert a DVD, play begins automatically, but the VCDs won't play no matter what I've tried. Is there special software needed for VCDs that's different from that for DVDs?

Toshiba SD1600 won't play VCD or SVCD. It is not compatible.
The models you saw on the Internet are special modified version of SD1600 modified by third party and re-sold.
