Page 1 of Dansai 952

Hi Peeps
Wondering if anyone could help me and tell me if the Dansai 952 dvd player is multi-region and macrovision hackable like it`s older brother the 852.
I already own the 852 and am very impressed with it but my friend is wanting a good bargain player and our local Tescos extra has them in a £99.
Have looked round the site and cannot find any reference to this player and whether it is remote hackable.
So if anyone could help with any info i would be much obliged.
Thanx in advance.

Found this in a previous post for some reason does not come up in a search ? Reported by someone else to work Good Luck

Presa

first things first there is NO macrovision disabler just like the dansai 110 (not that i know of anyway)
anyway heres the hack

NOTE: THIS CAN ONLY BE PEFORMED ON THE REMOTE CONTROL

1.power on with the tray empty and closed
2.press eject (on remote)
3.press setup (on remote)
4.press stop (on remote)
5.press skip backward (on remote)
6.press skip forward (on remote)

and up pops the menu scroll down to REGION I.D. & change to bypass.
press set up on the remote close tray & turn off power
turn on again insert region 1 dvd and there u go

disclaimer
IF IT SCREWS UP YA DVD PLAY DONT BLAME ME
it worked for me ok & besides tescos are great when it comes to taking faulty goods back

best of luck to u all :)

What is Macrovision, and why would you want to disable it?

The_Shirt ... Macrovision is a Copy Protection ... you disable it so that you can " Back Up " your DVD`s to VHS etc without the picture / sound distortions.

Thanks for the Hack Presa .. have passed it on but it hasn`t been tried and tested yet :-)
