Page 1 of FOUND!!! HACK FOR GOODMANS DVD3500PK

OK everyone, we found the multiregion hack BUT there is a problem with region 1, When you play region 1 movies they all play in black and white. I set my TV to NTSC/PAL auto detect and also tried just on NTSC but nothing! ANY SUGGESTION?

Oh by the way the reion hack is -

Leave the draw open, on your handset type 9187, this enters the region and macrovision setup, use the arrows and enter keys to pick your region.

Goodluck

No problem with B & W for me on R1 discs, my telly auto-detects NSTC fine and plays R1 discs in colour ok

Maybe your telly is not set quite right, or you`ve got a duff Scart lead?

Know anthing about recording from R1 discs?, I assume i`ve got to get a NTSC video, mines only recording in B & W

Canky, go back in to the region set page eg/ 9817 and set the macrovision to off, this should solve your problem, let me know please!

Good luck
Matt

Matt,

I`ve done that already, still can`t tape in colour from R1 discs.

I think it`s down to my VCR and not the DVD player though.

It`s not a problem, but it would be nice to do a copy now & again for my kids (if you can call a 21 year old a kid! )

I must say this is the first forum I`ve been in that`s being productive, just shows what can be done when folk work together.

Hey Jeff!
OK, I did some research for you and it turns out you DO need an NTSC capable VCR. Sorry I honestly thought you just had to disable the macrovision.

Hope this is of some help?

Matt

Thanks, great site to who ever the developers are

Matt,

Thought so, thanks for looking around.

I think my VCR can do NTSC, I can`t find the manual at the moment.

Best Wishes

Jeff

I couldn`t play MP3 until I burnt a CD ( and closed the session) with no directory structure, i.e just put all the songs in the root.

I used Nero for burning the CD, and burnt to a cheapo 80 min CDR.

It does show up the quality of the left & right channel speakers though, I replaced mine with my standard hi-fi speakers- much better sound.

Well done to everyone in getting this hack. One question i have is that on the multi hack page it states that the code 9817 when opening the setup page for the region and macrovision setup ther is also a facility to change the PAL output to NTSC. I have a Beko Widescreen tv and im not sure if it will playback region 1 discs ok as it only seems to be a PAL TV. Anyone got an answer to my query? If the tv does not auto change to NTSC format i thought the facilty to change the output on the region setup would help but when inputting the code i did not see any PAL / NTSC setup window.
