RE: ALBA DVD129 --MULTI REGION HACK/CODE/CRACK--

Well after making this a region free player ,i must admit i wish i never set me eyes on it .
It was intended as a gift and gift or not it went back to the shop, due to the quality .
It looks sleak and silver ,but the disc tray i can see been broke easily (its so thin its unreal --not recommended for childrens rooms ).

The next downside is that after making it region free ,it only played DVD,MP3 any thing esle i threw in just would not work :- VCD 1.1 -VCD2.0, JPEGS, AVI FILES, SVCD.

I mean come on whats the point, i been using vcd since 1994 via the phillips cdi range .

Any way after all that i took it back and bought a aiwa xd-ax36 for a £1 more @ comet , and i tell you what it plays the dogs b0[0<ks (except not made it region free yet).Not to worry at least i had the energy to remove that alba form my dwellings.

ADVICE:- A WHEELY BIN FILLER , first its the box and packing next it will be the player .

RE: him and his Aiwa XD-AX36

nice to no people are using my posting from vcdhelp ...

keep up the looking lads ,its got to be out there somewhere .
i`m in convierence with a kier from japan who deals with a hardware mod for these players ie:- sony /aiwa .
I`ve emailed the pcb and he should get back ,but dont count on that .
(it may be done by rectifing the surface mount resistor values the current values
are 104 ,a blank ,and zero .
I will endavor to find out which one does what so keep posted .

MEAN WHILE WHY NOT CHEK OUT THE INSIDES
(may be a repairman mght shine some light...!)

ALBA DVD129 --MULTI REGION HACK/CODE/CRACK--

Please find below the multi region code for the ALBA DVD129.

This hack is the same as the code for the CROWN cdv1100B


Follow the procedures to change region code for Mediatek Single Chip
DVD
players:

a) Press SETUP button on the remote control to display the setup
screen


b) Press "1369<<<>" on the remote control ( "<" = left navigation
button; ">" = right navigation button)

This dvd is currently sold to me for £47 bucks .....could have got a cheaper one but all sold out ....it will do for whats its intended .
