thanksThanks for the review. I also bought this at oo.com.au a few months ago and I was pretty happy with it, but the region code tip made me even happier. I don’t have the problem of having to have the case open when playing from a USB or SD card.

EDITOR: roughly translates from French->English as “Yesterday I received my DVD player it plays tokai the divx, dvd, mp3, but jpeg not displayed”

As an update, I got the Plane Quiet in-ear plugs and they are even better than the Noise Cancelling Headphones. It blocks out 90% and you are able to listen with the normal volume. Just don’t use it when walking on the road. You can’t hear a car coming at you.

Just to let you know, my support from oo.com.au was excellent. My Tokai was faulty and they did the warranty support and had it repaired for me. Thanks, Oo!

It’s still my fav DVD player. cL

EDITOR: thanks for that info Chris

Those in ear headphones look like a bargain, glad to hear you like them. Unfortunately I find all in ear headphones uncomfortable so I buy the over ear ones instead.

I’m impressed with OO.com.au as well. i needed a new power supply for the Tokai, all they needed was my order number on the receipt and they posted me a new power supply at no cost.

I asked to the manufacturer’s tokai two weeks ago and the response was “no firmware update for the moment…. ” Email adress of tokai technical support : sav@lema.fr.

EDITOR: Thanks for the confirmation. From what I can tell the current firmware is from 2005 so there is little chance of an update ever

Hi,

Thanks for the review. I also bought this at oo.com.au a few months ago and I was pretty happy with it, but the region code tip made me even happier. I don’t have the problem of having to have the case open when playing from a USB or SD card.

I do have a couple of problems:
1) The response of the player to DVD-R’s is mixed – sometimes it plays OK, sometimes it says DISC ERR after it attempts to load the disc
2) It doesn’t like external hard-drives attached via USB – it can read the file list (after waiting a really long time), but after that, it doesn’t respond to either the player buttons or the remote control buttons

Is there any way to contact the manufacturer to get a fix?

Thanks,
Anna

EDITOR: Hi Anna

I tried contacting the French manufacturer’s Tokai a few months ago to ask if there was any new firmware. They did not reply

I’ve played files from DVD, DVD-R, DVD+RW and a 4GB USB drive with no problems

Perhaps the DVD-R’s you tried were badly burnt? Also as I noted in the article it can’t play DIVX 3 files.
