Sony PlayStation 2 DVD player
Hi folks
I have a PS/2, it is connected to the TV via my VCR.
My problem is that some DVD`s play fine, some are patchy (poor picture and/or sound) and some won`t play at all.
Could my patchy playback be due to a Macrovision copy protection system on the PS/2 (i.e. I will need to connect directly to the TV with scart?)
cheers
Rich
RE: Acoustic Solutions 421 - Got any more hacks?
Martyn:
The 421 is my first DVD player so I have no benchmark to compare against. That said, I have no complaints with the player. The picture is noticeably sharper than a VHS tape. Sounds are fine - mine is connected to a Cambridge Audio amp for booming stereo sound.
BTW, there is no Dolby Digital output, if thats important to you. But I believe the next Acoustic Solutions model "up" (451?), has those outputs.
By "macro switchable", I assume you mean being able to disable Macrovision - the hack I found here works fine. Same goes for the multi-region hack.
As far as I`m concerned, it was £70 well spent.
Acoustic Solutions 421 - Got any more hacks?
Hello
The multi-region and macrovision-disable hacks worked! Thank you to whoever discovered those codes.
Now, when I was doing the macrovision hack, I noticed that there were other codes in 4000/5000 ranges. Does anyone know if one of these will turn off the despised RCE?
Any advice/guidance gratefully received.
