Page 1 of Technosonics DTS2004 In Car Player - Hack Here!!!

OK, I`ve just joined the forum as I`ve been lurking for a while now - but couldn`t resist sharing this with you. :D

I couldn`t find any hacks for this machine, but I did find a few Technosonics hacks in general around the web. And one of them works!! Yippee!!

1. Use the remote, with no disc in the machine.
2. Press `Setup`
3. Press `Right Arrow` three times
4. Press 9 6 5 3
5. Use the `Up` and `Down` arrows to select the region of your choice - 0 being region free.

6. Enjoy!!

I`m going to post on the Bargain Bucket forum as well, as this system is `Great Value` at £180 from Toys R Us. Particularly as it is now region free - Oh, yes, it plays DVD-R discs as well.

Since I can`t post images until the account is 30 days old - you can click here to see a picture of the system

Cheers All

:D

Phil,

Top man - I`ve just bought the player for my car and have been searching around for a R1 hack. We`re now watching our R1 version of `Finding Nemo`.

If anyone is interested I`ve also got hold of an AV adaptor to allow my son to use his PS2. It`s here --> www.lindy.com/uk/productfolder/03/35/35539/index.php however the 3.5mm jack is wired wrong and I had to get a new one from maplins (cost £1)and re-wire it.

Plug wiring is as follows
common to top
video (yellow phono socket) next
audio - left (white phono socket) next
audio - right (red phono socket).

Good luck

Andy

I am new to this forum and this is more a question than a reply but this is the only place I have found this information on the net.

I bought a DTS2004 before our summer holiday and it kept the children (and parents!) happy on the long journey.

I have two issues though.

1. There is one red spot on the screen when its on. I understand that it is not uncommon to have one or two duff pixels is this correct?

2. I tried to use the yellow AV out socket to connect the DVD unit to the phone inputs on a tv using a lead bought from Maplin (and I have also tried a few other shops) and it doesn`t work. If I connect the correct colour plugs on the TV there is no picture and if I swap them about I get a picture with lots of interference and distorted sound.

I thought there was a problem with the unit but I saw Andys note about rewiring the plug in the last post and wondered if that might work for me? Also why is this necessary and is it a fault after all?

Hi Simon,

Although it is not uncommon to have 1 or 2 `stuck` pixels per screen I personally would not accept it - I`d take it back get it exchanged and ask to test it in the shop.

I`ll check when I get home to see if the modified plug works on the AV out socket of the DVD player.

When I took the original plug that I bought to bits, I was surprised to find that the common wasn`t wired to the strain relief part of the plug as is normally the case - I think most of the 3.5mm to Phono converters are for PC`s which are maybe wired differently ??

I`ll post later to let you know if my lead works.

Andy

PS. I`ve just returned from holiday and the DVD/PS2 kept both of my boys quiet for over 5 hours of travel !! Thumbs up for Toys R Us and Technosonic
