I bought an SC 2000 in August 2000. All I`ve done so far is change it to multi region. Is there a simple command string to disable the macro protection on this age model ?

Not entirely sure that your model can defeat the macro that easily/ i am in the ame position with a Toshiba and am thinking of exchanging it.
Seems that a hardware hack is your best option. Regards, Mark

I have a newer SC2000 and I haven`t hacked it yet so on that front I can`t help.
however, I did have a Daewoo machine before (pretty much the same as the older Scans`) and the macrovision options came up at the end of the secret region choosing menu which is enabled with the handset hack

Kuat, How do you compare the Scan to the Daewoo ? i.e. Picture Quality (Pixellation) Sound e.t.c.
Any good ? Please let me know. Thanks
Jaxon

I have bought mine in September and in the secret menu, if you scroll down, there is an option Macrovision AUTO/OFF - just turn it off there

Jaxon,
Night and Day mate.
The Daewoo was utter rubbish as far as the picture quality went - pixellation all over the shop.
I did have reservations that the improvents to the chipset in the Scan would not go far enough to curing this, but I am glad to say I am entirely happy with the picture.
The sound is fine but I`ve not really given it a full workout through my stereo yet, but the 28" widescreen Hitachi does just fine
