Apparently it is a rebadged Yamada 8400X DVD Recorder so you might want to have a look at this as well

email from the support guys at yamada.de earlier today, but couldn`t get it to work (probably just bad translation into english) - here`s how I got it to work -

1. Turn on player (with Standby button on player), without any disc in the drawer

2. When "No Disc" appears on screen, open the tray (I used the button on the player, don`t know if that matters)

3. Press 0, 0, 8, 6, 0, 0, 0 on the remote, then press "Select" on the remote
(the last number is the region setting - 0 for multiregion, other numbers for that specific region) - a 0 should appear on the screen

4. Turn player off (without closing tray first) using the button on the player.

Now when you turn on the player, it will be multiregion. I don`t know if it defeats RCE (haven`t tried it yet), but if it isn`t, try doing the hack again and setting it to the specific region of the disc.

There is a firmware update here : Yamada 8400X Firmware Update, that fixes some recording glitches and adds support for more brands of media.

I`ve used it, and it works - just download the .zip file, extract the .iso and burn to a cdr - the player will recognise it. The machine shuts down after you press OK the last time. I couldnt get mine to come out of standby (I left it for a few minutes), but unplugging it and plugging it back in brought it back to life.

[STANDARD DISCLAIMER] This worked on my machine, if something should go wrong with yours, I in no way accept responsibility (besides, Tesco should take it back if you still have the reciept).[/STANDARD DISCLAIMER]

Happy trails!

Hi there

I have tried your helpful code and my machine will now play American films but only with Subtitles and no sound for the speaking parts (there is sound for everything else though). Do you have any ideas to fix this?

Thank you very much

Alison

Hi Not sure if you resolved this problem as it`s a setting that you need to change from 5.1 sound to 2 channel. Do this without a disc in.
see this link.
It works.

Well Done - Tesco/Technika/Yamada - again.

Hope it works for you.

Thank you very much, this has fixed it perfectly.
