RE: Help for a poor soul and his Aiwa XD-AX36
Hello,
I`m in the same boat!! I found the following info but not sure what to do with it yet, if you work it out please let me know!!!
=======================================
This is the firmware screen from my player. How do you get to see yours?
Easy...follow these simple instructions:
Press "Setup" on the remote, and highlight "TV Aspect"
Place the cursor on "16:9 Wide" and enter the following code on the Remote
1397139
Press "Enter"
It`s that simple. Credit for finding this hack
*******************************************
This was posted as a vcd hack but it did not work on and it may be a macrovision hack.
1. Remove all dvds from the player and trun it off.
2. Trun "POWER" on
3. Press "PAUSE"
4. press "1472"
5. press the up arrow three times.
6. press "PROGRAM", "6", "PROGRAM" "5"
7. press "ENTER"
8. press "RETURN"
9. turn the "POWER" off and then on again
Macrovision should now be disabled.

Region code hack posted by gray985, December 31 2003:
I cannot change the region, do you know how i can make this player read region 1 or region all
Region code and Macrovision hack posted by skippy, December 31 2003:
yes i have suffer the same problem that you speak about,but like i said i have noticed that there are two possible ways to hack the region .
The first one is to hack the hadrware see below:-
http://homepage3.nifty.com/~kei_nifty/NS530.htm
this explains how to change/alter voltages to surface mounted resistors. "i think there is also a file showing eeprom details (but unsure)".
perhaps the other is to swap version no`s ,and eeprom setting plus also which region it was originally =
without crashing your warranty i suggest helping me with option 2 ...(sharing eeprom hex codes and versions).
hope this helps
skippy :)
Good luck!!
