RE: pacific dvd-900

maghis and anyone else who might be watching! :)

I can confirm that as outlined in other threads on this forum, that the Pacific 1002 hack definitely does work on this new model Pacific DVD900.

I went to to Asda today specifically to buy the 1002 model which my local store had run out of the other day. I found that it had now been replaced by this new DVD900 model at £5 less in price too. Only £29.94 and they had one boxed one left whech I duly snapped up!!

I figured for under £30 even if I couldn`t find a hack that worked, it was a cheap enough player as a second machine.

So I unpacked it, removed my crappy Roadstar model that`s been playing up for weeks and plugged up the Pacific....be aware that this model comes without any connection cables (Scart or otherwise) so you`ll need to buy one if you haven`t a spare cable.

I tried a Region 2 disc - worked fine as would be no surprise!

I then tried a Region 4 (Austrialia) disc (essentially the same as Region 2) which also played fine.

I then tried a Region 1 and Region 3 disc which both refused to play - not surprisingly.

I then performed the 1002 hack as below:

Switch machine on and using the remote control only:

1. Press `open/close` button (the draw should be left open).
2. Press the `clear` button.
3. Press `1`.
4. Press `3`.
5. Press `6`.
6 Press `9`.
7. Press `0` (zero for multi-region).
8. Press `open/close` button.

I then tried both the Region 1 and Region 3 discs and they now played fine.

I then also performed the Macrovision hack below which disables this "feature":

Switch machine on and using the remote control only:

1. Press `open/close` button (the draw should be left open).
2. Press the `clear` button.
3. Press `4`.
4. Press `5`.
5. Press `6`.
6 Press `1`.
7. Press `0`.
8. Press `open/close` button.

I presume this should have worked too, but I have no way of testing this.

Just be aware that when performing any of the above hacks, that you`ll get no confirmations or indications on either the screen or player.

Anyway, I`m well pleased now...got a Multi-Region DVD player for a bargain price!

Best wishes
