I have a LG DVD player model: 6053. The manufacteur says that it can play vcd cd-r cd-rw also. It even says to made them with Easy CD creator 5. Well i made all the things you can image to play them. I read all the articles in this forum, an try all you said but nothing. i read an follow the instruction on www.vcdhelp, but still the same. Every time i put a vcd cd-r or cd-rw (650 or 700 MB), i have the same answer on tv: "! check disk", and thas all i have. I wrote to LG support but no answer. Why is that? Does this DVD player really plays homemade VCD? Does anybody know how to fix that problem?

And there is the solution. I hope this help. .

SVCD Hack

1- Power up the dvd with no disc 2- Press pause and then pres 1 4 7 2 3- Press right arrow until appears on the display 07 60 (the characters 60 may be different, 07 are the most important!!!) 4- Hold pressed the 6 on the remote control until the 6 change to F 5- Press the right arrow once 6- Hold pressed the 5 on the remote control until the 0 change to E 7- Now in the display appears the number 07 FE (if don't repeat the sequence!!!) 8- Press pause 9- Turn off the player 10-Enjoy with your SVCD!!!

VCD Hack

1- Power up the dvd with no disc 2- Press pause and then pres 1 4 7 2 3- Press right arrow until appears on the display 04 DD (the characters DD may be different, 04 are the most important!!!) 4- Hold pressed the 6 on the remote control until the 6 change to F 5- Press the right arrow once 6- Hold pressed the 5 on the remote control until the 0 change to E 7- Now in the display appears the number 04 FE (if don't repeat the sequence!!!) 8- Press pause 9- Turn off the player 10-Enjoy with your VCD!!!

If you make a mistake with these codes above, you can use this to correct:

the correct prom (with VCD and SVCD hack correctly installed) should be:

55 53 00 FE 16 55 FE FF

You should easily put these values with your remote control (use the arrows for moving, the numbers, and hold long the 6 for the F and hold long the 5 for the E).
