Has anybody purchased this machine? I think it is a new model to replace the GDV210. Is there a handset hack for it?

i think that player ia a clone, try the hack that works for orion and jmb players..... as follows

switch power on.....press open,,stop,,, and forward skip buttons on player for at least 3 seconds (press all three at same time),, a menu should appear listing regions available, select region free at bottom of list using the remote up/down cursor buttons,, then exit. one more thing to note if this works,,, when playing a region one disc in ntsc, unless your tv will accept this signal you can alter the player to play back in pal via the colour sytem/adjustment menu....mine works just fine hope it does for you too .respond if you wis with outcome

Does this work for GDV210 machines then? And if so, if I change it to "Region Free" does this mean it will play all regions? And that to watch one of my normal Region 2 dvd`s I won`t have to hack it back to normal again?
The reason I ask is because I don`t want to have to keep having to hack the machine everytime I want to watch a DVD. I suppose the easy solution would be to buy a multi-region. But I can`t afford one!
