Hello all,
My copy of `THE PATRIOT` arrived yesterday, and having arrived back home today I have tried it>
My Wharfedale 750S is the one with the newest firmware that needs the new hacks ie:
Region Free is
open drawer press STEP press PREV press NEXT
And the all new manual hack was:
open drawer then press 0,7,5,0 followed by the region number.
It turns out that I didn`t need the long awaited manual hack as the PATRIOT plays fine on this machine in REGION FREE mode.
The film starts straight up, and all the menus work as expected, and I was able to freely access the special features.
My wife and I will watch the film through tonight and report back any other finding tomorrow.
Cheers
Chris

Well after many hours trying to decide what to do,
I took a gamble the other day and I took my early model Wharfedale 750 back to Tescos as it was still under warranty and told them I was having problems with it.
I asked them if I could have a replacement and if possible could it be the new model 750s.
The assistant then told me I could have the new model but that the only difference between the two was the remote control “It works the volume on your TV” she said.
How little they know, and guess what?
It doesn’t even adjust the volume on you TV at all, it adjusts the sound output level on the player itself.
So anyway I took my new Wharfedale 750s straight home and tried The Patriot and YES my new player also works exactly in the same way as yours, PERFECTLY.
