Page 1 of Multiregion hack for the Akura ADVR171S DVD Recorder discovered

Anyone know a multiregion hack for the Akura ADVR171S DVD Recorder?

Since I can`t find any mention of this on any forum is it a badge engineered other machine with a known hack?

It may be the same as the Eurotech DVR-3001 (the picture on the www.akura.com which bears no resemblance to the box I`ve got looks just the same as the picture of that machine on the www.tech-europe.co.uk site)

Bought from Macro for 99+VAT today.

Thanks

If you want to see what this machine looks like and see some setup screen shots in case they look like another model look here:

From Akura:

Let DVD door in open mode

Press SET UP button

Press number button "7224"

Press EDIT button

When it appears the region code information use "6" to select your desired region, then press ENTER to confirm it

Thanks for that I`ll give it a try, still working on copyng from another dvd player, will post when successful.

That turned out to be a little wrong it should be:

Let DVD door in open mode

Press SET UP button

Press number button "7224"

Press EDIT button

The region code information appears - use the up and down arrows to select your desired region (0 is all regions), then press ENTER to confirm it

I haven`t tried dvd-dvd copying yet - you could try another 4 number combo to turn off macrovision (or email Akura).

Hi.
This Akura Dvd Rec looks very similar to a TEVION DVR1000, which was sold in Germany.
The remote is exactly the same and the menus are the same too.
