I NEED HELP WITH MY SAMSUNG 709!!!

steve@sha (Harmless) posted this on Saturday, 30th June 2001, 20:44

This may seem like a stupid question, but I`m new to this technology - so bear with me.
I`m about to hack my 709 so I can play R1 discs, but have a few Q`s.
Can someone please help!

1. During the hack, if I set the 709 to R1 will it still play my R2 discs? or do I have to set it to Region free?
I am asumming that Region free means it will play any region???

2. Once hacked, is the 709 set for good or do I need to reset if I switch between R1 and R2 discs?

I hope someone can help as I am a bit apprehensive of `messing` with the player.

Thanks a lot
Steve

steve

set the player to region free and it will play r1 & r2 disks without having to hack the player each time, even if you unplug the machine, it still is region free

hope this helps

macrovision is copy protection encoded on the dvd to stop you from making copys onto vhs your machine on region free will disable this, but at the price dvd`s cost i dont see any sense on copying them

hope this answers your question
