RE: macrovision on phillips DVD730

Unless your player does have a firmware version 2.17 or 2.18 the answer is no. you can see the version number on the setup menu, go down to the second setup screen and all the way down and once more down to see the version.

Let me know if it is a version below 2.18.

RE: HELP: does the Phillips 750 hack work with the Grundig 110?

Indeed. Same for the Grundig GDV100 and 200

RE: PHILIPS 950 or 701 ???

OK, I try my best.

The main difference is that the 950 is multichannel and the 701 is not.

This means you can have "Dolby Digital" decoded 6 channel straight to an amplifier with 6 channel input or 3 stereo amplifiers.

Or, in case you have an amplifier/dolby decoder you can simply connect it via the digital connector.

Anyway, the last option is also possible with the 701, so that`s no advantage.

Another difference is that the 950 has 2 scart connectors. This is done for people who have TV`s with only 1 scart input. This way they can connect their VCR to the DVD and then the DVD to their TV.
Extra 950 features: "EasyLink" (P50), "smart-picture" (color setting)
Extra 701 feature: it plays SVCD ;-)

Conclusion:
If you have a TV with minimal 2 scarts and you have a dolby decoder/amplifier or don`t add value of Dolby Digital / DTS multichannel surround sound then go for the 701!

RE: Audio Problems on Philips DVD 751

The second code (005) is not for r1 but for r3. This r3 configuration is for players with 6 channel output like the 950. The best way is code 008 000 000 000.

Then again I strongly suggest you use the "RC6" code and make it multiregion before your player locks in a particular region.
