Page 1 of Decca DDV 5100

Purchased one from Powerhouse today.Tried hacks with no joy however the Decca is macro free from the box.Just select video via the v-mode button on the remote, copies perfectly.No joy re region free.Warning, mine came with a scart lead which didnt support RGB dont know whether it was just faulty Changed it and the difference was exceptional.Appers to do all is says on the box and more.Pity about the region code.

I also got mine from Powerhouse, and have problems with RGB, so thanks for that!
But I have sucessfully changed mine to muti-region:-
1) switch on (no disc)
2) from remote control, press set-up
3) press stop (black button with white square printed on it)
4) press prev (black button with white bar and 2 arrows facing backwards)
5) press next (black button with 2 arrows facing forwards and a white bar)

On screen menu changes to engineering page and allows you to change region. I set mine to "auto" and I have been able to play discs which the machine had rejected as wrong region

Good luck

Avensis

Tried this more times than I would like to admit to ,cold start etc default settings basically given up.Remote works fine.Has anyone else experienced difficulties.Is it a case of there being a firmware/model update.As everything else works fine I havent a clue !


Part two

Finally accessed factory settings;
Default settings only
Power up via unit not handset
Set up via button on unit
Stop,previous,forward in repeat rotation via remote.Menu appeared after 3 or 4 attempts
Dont know if the problems were down to a dodgy remote.
4 days of trying is not an experience I,d recommend to anyone
