RE: great region free budget player

i also have the pacific 1002 from asda as my bedroom player (although i got it when it was £42 - doh!) and i agree it is excellent. ive had it about a year now and it plays everything i throw at it (approx 250 dvd`s in my collection) my only issue with it (rather than a complaint) is that by todays standard it looks a little clunky compared to the uber stylish 165. i just love the totally silent clear disk tray.

great region free budget player

:D i just bought an alba 165 from argos as a christmas pressie for my sis, its a nice sleek slimline player at only just over an inch in height. finished in a nice sw***y gunmetal grey finish. and to top it all to my delight its region free out of the box.

i tested 8 different titles,
1 region 2
5 region 1`s
2 err `cough ahem `backups` hehe

all played fine.

and at only £35 its an absolute bargain

RE: Advice: DVD Player - Multiregion and Macrovision disabled

that hack doesnt work hundreds of posts on it

RE: pacific 1002w macrovision

it would seem that this machine has a rather strange quirk, it is MACRO FREE out of the box but only for region 2 disks, i know this because i ran my oceans 11 and LotR 2 towers through the vid and all was clear so i popped in my r1 pirates of the caribbean and up popped `wrong region` so i tried the multi region hack and it worked fine, so back in went PotC and whilst it would play this time mr macro turned up to spoil the party. so then i tried the macro hack banged in PotC again but no effect, back in went oceans 11 and still it played fine.

conclusion(s)
1 this machine is macro free for region 2 out of the box
2 it is easily de-regioned
3 it isnt macro hackable for other regions

it is possibly this which has caused some confusion regarding the macro situation, if someone applies the 2 hacks before playing a region 2 disk then playes one, they would of course think its been macro hacked when in fact it hasnt, it just never was macro protected for region 2 discs.in the first place.

my apologies for going on a bit but i thought my experiances may put this one to bed
seasonal regards to all

pacific 1002w macrovision

when i bought this player it was macro free in region 2 out of the box.
applying the multi region (open/clear/13690close) hack has made it multi-region ok.
but the macro vision hack listed every where doesent seem to have any effect regardless of when i apply it, weather it be in region free mode or region 1 or 2.

anyone else got any ideas ?
