I`ve just purchased a Minato G-1 from Tesco

Being a student I can`t really afford to splash out too much on a DVD player, and when I saw the G-1 at 129.99 in Tesco, I thought I better go for it. I wasn`t expecting much for my money, but it`s quite impressive, playing all of my DVD`s without any slowdown and very impressive picture quality. I had a bit of trouble getting The Sixth Sense to work but I just stopped the DVD and started it again and it worked fine, possibly just a glitch on the disc itself. The only thing I want now is to find out if there is a multiregion hack for the machine, I`ve been told that it`s based on the Wharfedale 750s, but I don`t want to try it out in case I lock it onto another region and can`t change it back! All in all though, for £130 you can`t go wrong!

sorry I dont know the actual hack but from what ive read be careful if you find it.I`ve read ppls messages saying they have set it to region 1 and cant change it again to region 2/free because its locked.
So if you do manage to do it set it to region free just to be on the safe side and until you know different dont try to alter it.
try searching the DVDTimes forums for the hack code because im sure I saw a topic about it in there
