RE: Hitachi DVP305U to read multi region
Cioa Mike
Thanks so much for your response. My 305U unit has 4,05(J) firmware on the EPROM. Is this firmware remote hackable? Do I need a special Region 1 hack? I`ve seen that the 305E has the 4,05(H) firmware and the region 2 hack seems to work OK according to so many folks. I`ve been to your site, downloaded the 709firmware, now what? How do I get a programmed EPROM chip? How much are they?
Again, thanks so much for your help with my request.
Arrivederci,
Neiljt

RE: Hitachi 305 US version
Ciao Steve,
I have a Hitachi DVP305U, dual voltage, with a 3/2001 manufactures date and would like to convert it to Region Free (9). I too, have run into problems with the Thomson 3300 crack. No Joy! I`ve tried all the variations suggested by others and nothing. Have you found the same thing? Do you know where I can find a chip? Where and how much? Is it easy to replace? Do I need firm ware update?
I do have multi system TVs.
Thanks for your help,

Hitachi DVP305U to read multi region
Hi All,
I have a USA version of the Hitachi DVP305U, dual voltage, 3/2001 manufacture date. I would like to convert it to be able to read Region 1 and at least region 2. I guess I must configure it with code 9 for region free. I have tried the ThomsonnDTH-3300 in "ALL" the variations proposed by other multi region enthusiasts. I have tried it with and without inserting language options. I just can`t get past the 2,9,3,3,4 portion. Does my unit need a software update of 709/firmware? If yes, how do I update? Do I just download and put it on a CD and let the DVD unit read it? Or is it something I have to physically remove and plug in? Is there anyone who has real success with this DVD unit? Your HELP will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance for your help,
Neil
