RE: Can any DVD buffs help?

Thanks again for your advice Jasp, I decided that I should take the TV back to Comet, where I told them that it was faulty, paid an extra £100 and came away with a Sony WEGA 21" flatscreen beast - should have done that in the first place. The DVD player works great now, although a Sony badboy will be replacing soon. By the way, I did get the Supercare thing from Richersounds, they gave me it free when I bought the machine (a bad omen?) so I will get 50% back from what I paid for it to put towards a new machine.

Thanks very much for your help.

RE: Can any DVD buffs help?

Thanks for the reply Jasp, I`ve had the Limit for just under a year now, and I was thinking of upgrading it soon anyway. My TV does have Svideo via a scart socket, but it puts a mad haze over the picture.

Thanks again for your advice, I`m gonna have a look at the Richer Sounds website for a better make. How can I tell if a unit has RGB out?

Cheers mate

Can any DVD buffs help?

Can anybody help me with a problem I have with my Limit JDV300A DVD player.
I have just bought a new TV and when I play any discs the screen goes light then dark intermittently. I read somewhere that this could be Macrovision coming into action. The player is straight through to the TV via a SCART, the player is set to `ANY` TV system in the options menu (to cover PAL, NTSC etc). The player is region haked for any region. I have tried all sorts of variations in the options menu to no avail. Could it be the TV? The DVD player worked excellently on my parents Sony TV, my new TV is a 25" Goodmans, not as good as the Sony, but I can`t afford a fat ass Sony TV.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much apprieciated. Cheers

RE: Region changes on Limit JDV300A

Turn your machine on so the blue DVD screen is showing, open the drawer, keep the drawer open and with the remote, type 89260, the 0 on the end keeps the machine in `free region` mode, so you can play any disc from around the world without having to change it everytime. It works too, `cause thats what I have mine set at. As far as I am aware Macrovision should be disabled by doing this.

Have fun.

Please Help

I am new to this DVD lark and I got a couple of questions I`d like to be answered. I own a Limit JDV300a, yes another Richer Sounds disciple! I think its a cool player and I am quite aware that it sells under a few different names ie. Medion 7950a.

1) In the threads I see people talking about Macrovision. What is this and whats the difference between enabling it and disabling it?

2) Are there any reviews around about the Limit JDV300a?

Cheers
