Page 1 of Hack needed for Rowa DVD-280

Bought this from Asda for £99.94. The unit is set to Region 2 and can also play Video/CD`s, so you can back up your DVD`s.

It also has a switch at the rear for TV system change i.e. Pal or NSTC.
If somebody could tell me what NSTC stands for as well.

Thanks

P.S. I think the player is American

the player is a Pioneer clone so has to be chipped like a Pioneer ... it is possible to make the player auto region with macro disabled and a pioneer startup screen using the right chip

NSTC - you are "N"ot "S"pelling it "T"otally "C"orrect

Should be NTSC which is the format used other than PAL .. not sure of the true meaning but is often referred to as

"N"ever "T"wice the "S"ame "C"olour

Player is certainly not made in USA ... it`s from the same area as the rest of them ...

It is not a pioneer clone as pioneers have never been chipped....they are software flashed......i shall post the hack here shortly once i have checked it......the player should output ntsc to pal also.......

Yeah that`s right ...... ish ..... the chip is a firmware chip (programmed)

Same chip as Pioneer 535
