RE: Has anyone bought a

Just bought one myself...and LOVE it.

I exchanged from a Panasonic DMRE50 that I had a few problems with.

The JVC`s user friendly interface is what grabbed my attention first, nice and easy to use. Recording quality onto a RAM is excellent, with an easy time-slip (or whatever JVC call it) facility. MP3 and JPEG viewing are simple and also easy to use. Picture playback is fab, and CD`s sound defined and full...not tinny like the Panasonic.

Just one thing...No Multi-Region hack for it :( but i can live with that.

RE: JVC DRM-1 is it hackable

I`ve scoured around for a hack with no avail...anyone else had any joy?

RE: Acoustic Solutions DVD421

No. The hack doesn`t work on the advertised Region 2 machines as they have an older non-hackable firmware, hence they`re now around £30 to buy. The newer versions can be hacked

RE: Richer sounds - bloody annoying!!

Their "open box" sale is on November 16th. Last time I got a Sony DVPNS700 multi-region for £99.95!!!!!!

You just don`t get prices like that anywhere else do you?

RE: Toshiba220e Multi or Not?

there is a patch to make the sd220e multi region at http://sd220e.chez.tiscali.fr/

RE: sony dvp 700 s hack

i learned the hack from a one-for-all remote of "a retailer" onto my learning remote control. It`s `aux` then 1,2,3,4,5 power off/on twice then voila! i don`t know which magic codes were used though on the one-for-all.

RE: Disabling Macrovision

Acoustic Solutions DVD421/451
Cyberhome ADN528

RE: WHARFDALE 750

there are other hacks apart from the 0,1,2,3 hack...it depends what version of the machine you have

RE: Region hack for AD-L 528

open the drawer

press STOP then 1 9 9 9

menu should appear

RE: Philips 750 hack didn`t work for my Philips DVDR 985 :(

try typing 222 222 005 255...that might do it

RE: Richer Sounds

yes...go into your local branch

RE: Toshiba SD220 multiregion @ Richer Sounds / RCE ?

I also bought one...it played most of my RCE discs...but not ALL of them. When testing another in the shop this seemed to be an inherent problem on certain DVD`s with the `220. I swapped it for an Aiwa 480 after comparing the two in a demo room, this has a great picture and plays ALL my RCE discs.

RE: Cambrige DVD 300 zone 1 region hack?

It should do all regions straight out of the box.

RE: Hack needed for Yamaha DVD-S520

Yes, use the same hack as the `510. It`s RCE compatible as well.

RE: £100 dvd player - any suggestions?

Cyberhome 528 - nice picture and sound,MP3,CDRW playback,Dolby Decoder £99.95 - well worth a look

Toshiba SD210 - A Possible Hack?

1.power up the player
2.press `SET UP` on remote
3.change the tv system to `AUTO` (default is PAL)
4.go to `PARENTAL` and press enter
5.choose `OFF`, the type 2,8,3,0 then `ENTER`
6.exit parental menu
7.disconnect the player from the mains,wait 30 seconds
8.when powered up, the player should be code free

RE: 100 Greatest Films - Channel 4 - Saturday - what`s your 1-2-3 ?

1.. This Is Spinal Tap

2.. The Crow

3.. Blues Brothers

RE: Nokia 8210

I`ve got an 8210 handset with my old Orange pay-as-you-go sim from an old nk402. The place I went to unlocked the phone by typing in *#92702689# on the keypad. They supposedly `unlocked` the new handset in front of me. I can`t remember if they did anything else or not.

RE: LG Hacks

Before pressing PAUSE for the first time, wait until `NO DISC` appears on the display, the hack won`t work if you try it before

RE: Region hack for Yamaha DVD-S520

Yes it does Ramon, it`s the same hack that the Marantz DV4100ose,DVDS510, and Philips DVD`s use. However, you need a One-4-All remote to do it

RE: Eclipse DVD 695 nightmare!

They`ll have no problems replacing it for you or exchanging for another model.

RE: Best Multi Region DVD under £200-00 for second player must be silver for wife!!!

I like the Himage DVD595. It does CDR/CDRW/MP3/RCE/Multi-Region/Dolby-Decoder/Component Out...and it`s Silver! Richer`s do it for £149 and I`ve been quite impressed with it.

RE: +++Very Good service received from Richer Sounds Mail Order+++

I tested the Cyberhome at the shop this week, I`m quite impressed with it.MP3 is pretty decent as well, shame it looks a bit ugly, but you can`t complain at £99.95. You can get the 3 year warranty for a tenner! well worth it.

RE: Anyone tell me a dvd player that plays cdr ?

Aiwa DV370,Himage 2290,Eclipse DVD595,Philips DVD711,Pioneer DV535,636,737,Ariston DVD2000....to name a few

Toshiba SD100,Marantz DV3100,Sony DVPS335,535,735,725 Don`t play them for sure

RE: Himage 2290???

The 2290 is discontinued at richer sounds now.....hardly any branches have got any left. I thought the machine was pretty good for £100, oh....and we didn`t have THAT many back by the way...to have 5 go wrong is just bad luck

RE: Richer Sounds Rule!

Cheers guys, we try our best! It seems like EVERYBODY wants a DV535, we just can`t get enough of them! The `636 is a cracking player as well...better than their Sony counterparts if you ask me
