Folks
Try this one.
Switch On from Cold Open Drawer and Leave Open. Press the Following Keys on the Remote Control 7, 5, 1 ,8, 0 Waiting In Between Each Number For The Little `Hand` Symbol Top Left To Disappear.
`All Regions` Should be Displayed.
Needs Rekeying if you Switch Player Off via Front Button on Player or if Mains Power Disconnected, So Best to Write it Down Somewhere!!

Cheers for trying, but nope, didnt work.
For info the little hand appears bottom right, but not sure if that makes a difference.
I tried using all functions described via remote, and by using buttons on machine (ie power, open) etc. powered off and started from cold as well.
Ta for the effort.

Folks
Read a comment Elswhere that the Menus on the Packard Bell are Almost Identical to an Eltax DVR555HD Recorder
Not even sure if the buttons are on the Packard Bell Recorder Handset
Here is the Eltax Hack If the Buttons are present it is worth trying
Enter Setup Press 9-8-7 Press Add/Clear Press 0 Press Setup

and that would be a no too :(
I might take it back anyway. when running through the component output the picture is v v v v v v v v crap and bright, making it unwatchable. the drive is noisy and the general response of the machine is crap.
Only good thing is the usb port on the front allowing me to plug my USB pen in and watch direct from that, It was bottom of the range at £80 but not worth it to me.
