Page 1 of philips hacked but problems

I recently hacked my philips dvd 711 for multi region using the one for all remote method but have problems.
The first is that the dvd player background display(the bit that say "philips" in big writing in the background) and the menu for it goes larger than usual when playing region 1 discs only.
The second is that this also affects the icons for my tv (a new grundig 32" widescreen) making them cut-off along the bottom of them i.e. the mute icon (a grey square with a speaker icon within it) is now half a square. The picture also has a flickering in the bottom left hand corner of the display which affects region 1 discs only.

Also, which may be un-related, is that of the only two region 1 discs that I have (toy story 1 & 2), toy story 2 has a problem in that when it gets past chapter 3 , search in play is no longer possible and when attempted, just skips to the next chapter . Toy story is fine in this respect.

Anyone have any help on these matters. I have had a reply from someone who suggested that I buy a better tv !!! Fine I thought, I just payed £750 for my new tv, so I`ll ditch it and chip some more off my large gold block to buy another one !! Anyone have a more constructive way of helping.

Thanks

I hope your not refering to me as the person "who suggested buying a better TV."......because..thats not what i said is it?.....

I took the trouble to reply to your e-mail in great detail...and i already explained the Toy Story 2 problem.......so F**K you you ungratefull Bas***d..............

The problems you are describing can only be the cause of incompatibilty of your TV in accepting an NTSC signal...use your loaf!......if its fine with PAL....and this problem only occurs when playing region 1 discs....then logic dictates that this is the area that needs lookng at......especially seeing that no one else has this type of problem.........

I was going to send you the new 7.12 firmware to see if that helped...but you can kiss my hairy butt instead.....

HaGGiS!

What a nasty person you are. Yes it was you that I was referring to but did not think it was appropriate to give your name as I would not want to upset you or for everybody to read that it was you. To use the kind of language that I just read is disgraceful and do not want any help from you anymore.

You are wrong by the way about the problem. If I had bought a regoin1 version of the player, are you telling me the display would be the wrong size ? I don`t think so. Also I had a toshiba sd 100 multi region and this did not have this problem at all, I only sent it back because it was so noisy in playback. And yes you did suggest buying a better tv as you said that is probably the cause the problem. Also if you know so much about my machine, how come you thought that there is a ntsc/pal switch on the back, I have a feeling this is on the older 710.

I understand if you got upset at my comments of my previous posting but there is no need to use strong language, Is that the only way you and people like you find to vent your anger. TUT TUT !

Allan Verth sounds very grown a up and mature doesn`t he?

Get back in the playground and swap those pokemon cards.

Some people are novices on the DVD scene.

That is no way to talk to someone.

Unbelievable.
