Page 1 of Wharfedale 750s & certain Zoran chipset

I saw this in a thread from early December 2000, "The 750s hack only applies to certain Zoran chipset machines."

My question is? What can I do if I have a Wharfedale 750s that will not accept any of the listed Hacks for the First & Second Generation Wharfedale 750s...

Doe`s it mean I have a Third Generation Wharfedale 750s?

Or do I take the unit back to Tescos and try for me money back?

I am on my third unit after swapping my fist for a 750s, which bizarrely had no Audio Out metal Phono Shields to my Third that will not accept any listed hand set hacks?

All this has happened in one morning, 20th December 2000 between 04.00hrs and 05.30hrs at the 24hr Tescos today. I’ve gone from a hard working 1st Gen 750 bought in February 2000 to a stubborn 750s with the Zoran Chipset that doesn’t want to be hacked!

To help you help me here is what’s inside the box:

Firmware Chips:
>>>
Chip 1: U4w CS=AE71
Chip 2: U6w CS=05FC

Video A/D Chip:
>>>
Zoran ZR36710TQC
C4 UM0B0019F
Vaddis III DD Digital

Main Circuit Board Reference:
>>>
PF-DVD-4-2-A2

Can`t Any Of You Out There Help Me On This One?

I Can`t watch any R1`s on my newly Swaped Wharfe 750s (which I think is a third generation issue because none of the hack work and I mean NONE TWICE & FOUR TIMES OVER.)

Info Needed People?

I did notice that the 750s will take a four digit number at the DvD Startup Screen but the 111&1 and 111&2 hacks don`t work I get a hand icon when I enter the Fourth Digit?

Help Me Please I got no Region One Playback!!!???

Ok, It looks like I`m the only person with this Wharfe 750s problem?

I shall work the buttons for another day or so and if no success by then I`m quitting the Wharfedale for a Techtronics Pioneer with Mod...

the hack for the first gen 750S is 4 1`s THEN the region code, not three one`s then the code.

That could be your problem.

Seeing how the 750S can do RCE anyway, just drop in the region free hack.

As the hack states, put the remote about 4 inches from the sensor as the drive tray can get in the way.

GET A REFUND MY FRIEND, I HAVE JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH JAWS R1. GOT MY £180 BACK - NO QUESTIONS ASKED - AND BOUGHT A MULTIREGION PIONEER 535 FROM LINKONLINE THIS WEEK. IT IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THE WOOF.

I got my 750s and it appeared to be successful with the #1 Region Hack for it. Make sure that there is a clear path when using the remote. I did this and panicked!!! Realised that the open drawer was in the way. You could have had a faulty DVD player. Get it changed if poss and see what happens then. If you still have a problem, go for another make of DVD player to save yourself the hassle. I don`t know of any other Zoran chipset for the 750s. I`m okay with mine so far.
