Page 1 of Samsung 511 owners read this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interested in playing cd-r on your machine then try Sirius disks or superior, i use these disks and have no problem playing them!! Also the multi-region hack does disable the macrovison and i regulary make back-up copies to vhs!!

If anybody does try these disks let me know how you get on?
Thanks

Charlie

I`ve just recently bought a Samsung 511 player, now I have used the hack to make it multi-region and it seems to have worked, but unfortunatly the macrovision is still on despite following the instructions to the letter. Please could you tell me if I`ve missed something out. Quasi-pal is switched off and scart is set to video as instructed but no luck.
Do I need to use another type of remote or am I ok with the samsung remote. Like I said before the player seems to be region free but the macrovision is still on. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

The multi-region hack *does not* disable Macrovision on the 511, only on the x09 series. If you`ve been able to record to VHS, either:

(a) your video recorder is one of the few models that aren`t affected by Macrovision;
(b) the DVDs you`ve been recording from aren`t "Macrovision enabled". Not all DVDs are flagged for Macrovision, EIV titles tend not to be, for example.

can you tell me what the hack is for the samsung 511 (macro off),i already have hacked it with the 3,8,7,6,7 hack.but macro is still on,also what firmware is your samsung using,cheers nikki,

As said above, 511 hack *DOESN`T* remove Macrovision....
If you have taped vcd`s it is because they too can have the Macrovision removed......
