Page 1 of Wanted: Hacks for USA Classic / Mustek DVD-102

Dear Friends,

I`m looking for the Reigon / Macrovision hack for my Classic DVD-102. There is almost NO information about this unit on the web. I`m a complete an total newbiee, I just bought this, my first DVD player on October 25th. From the paperwork that came with the unit, I think it was also sold under the name Mustek. Does anybody know if it can be hacked?? I have no way of capturing an image of the Splash Screen so here`s a breif description: Three dolphins on the bottom with a few bubbles floating around them and DVD logo inside a big bubble is in the upper screen-right. All of this is on a blue background. Is that of any help?

Thanks,

Dear Bill

I had the same problem but you gave me the key: mustek machines are similar o equal to classic model 102. Below you can find how can resolve this

For Region Hack the MUSTEK DVD V300 you must access a secret menu.
For accessing this menu you have to do the following:

1) make sure you don´t have any DVD inserted and Door Closed
2) IN remote control :
3) press SETUP
4) IN the Front Panel :
5) press NEXT
6) press STOP
7) press PAUSE/STEP
8) press PREV
9) press NEXT

You should now see a new MENU. Go to Select Region and make your choice:
- region 1
- region 2
- region 3
- region 4
- region 5
- region 6
- By Pass

I tried the last option "BY PASS" and now I can see any dvd from any region without having to go to this menu everytime the DVD is from a diferent region.

I hope this Help !

Thanks!

I already found it! The Classic DVD-102 is pretty obscure, so I`ve noticed that responces to my queries on the Usenet Newsgroups has been pretty much non-existent. I`ve only seen the Classic available in the New York metro area, in only 2 stores. PC Richadrs & Sons and National Wholesale Liquidators. What parts of Europe have you seen the Mustek? I know it had to be available in the EU because when I looked at the backside of my USA Classic, I can see the 2 punch-outs in the metal where the SCART ports should be. Let me know.

Dear Friends.

Now that I have my Classic DVD-102 set to zone-free, I just need to turn off the Macrovision. There was no Macrovision option in the hidden menu I was able to access via the NEXT, STOP, PAUSE, PREVIOUS, NEXT trick. Will I need a modchip? I hope not.

Thanks
