DVD Firmware can they be changed?

[ChiknHead]

I recently bought a Dvd player that supports MP3/VCD/SVCd but
of course they have marked out the place on the box that said
"play cd-rs" so you really cant play any of those. Did they
just do somethign to the firmware? Can it be replaced?

I believe this has to do with how the laser reads the disc, so no.

I thought this one might have something to do with firmware
because the outside of the box says it plays CD-R but that
has been marked out with a ink pin.

Have you actually tried a CD-R? If not, it might actually play CD-Rs and some idiot just decided to mark the box.

In any case, this isn't really an HT discussion.
