Hi all, I'm hoping someone can provide some information about an odd CD-i that I've had in my collection for many years. It is a model 220 but is branded with "Digital Music Express" decals. It was apparently used for background music in a retail/restaurant environment. It appears to function correctly when a cd-i disc is inserted but when a standard audio cd is inserted the disc is ejected immediately. I assume this is to prevent a DMX customer from just using their regular cd's. I also cannot get it to read or even acknowledge any burned discs including older blue-dyed discs burned at 4x (the lowest speed I can burn).

I have only a few real cd-i games and would love to try out some of the other games. Are there any tips/suggestions for burning readable discs? Or perhaps this particular unit won't read audio or burned discs? Any way to defeat this function? Is anyone familiar with this unit and is there any interest in it? I have scoured the internet and haven't found another similar unit anywhere. I'd love to hear any feedback you can offer. Thanks!

Could you please post a picture of the model?

At the rear side of the player, you will find a sticker with complete player model.

Is it the 220/97C ?

Hi, thanks for the reply. You are correct that the model number is 220/97c. I've attached a few photos as well. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated!
