LG3350E + External Demacro

YaZiN (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Thursday, 25th January 2001, 14:36

I was intending to order this player from Techtronics but for several reasons I am not thinking I would be better off buying the demacro unit and player seperately.
Is there any specific demacro unit that is best to get and where could I pick one of these up from?
Do the demacro boxes work for all DVD regions? I guess that if its R1 then I would have to make sure the output from the player to tv is made in pal format IF the vcr can`t record the ntsc signal? I have a sony vcr (one with that label chip thingy but I can`t remember the model no. atm), would this be able to record a ntsc output?

I bought a Macro disabler from Keene for £55 (do a search I have posted about this before) It worked fine with VHS-VHS but I sent it back as I bought a Mico DVD player with Macro disabled.

I think Maplin do the same one for £50.

Your VCR will not record an NTSC output.

I will have to check this but I thought that some vcr`s were able to record either pal or ntsc
Not to worry I guess that would mean outputting the signal in a pal format. Not a hard job.

The 3350 will output PAL50 anyway so that would be the best option for maximum compatibility with other VCRs.

>>"The 3350 will output PAL50 anyway so that would be the best option for maximum compatibility with other VCRs."

Just to add to Troll`s point, set the "NTSC/PAL/AUTO" switch on the player`s rear to "PAL" and then power off and on.

Even R1`s NTSC will convert to a PAL 50 output.

and thats on my FAQ page too! :oÞ

Ok will have to try that when I get the player.

Jimbo ,to save me emailing you again, will you be posting here when you are ready to open up shop?
One of your LG`s VCD would be nice (even better if u can save me an external demacro box).
Thanks

Only if the Reviewer team say it`s ok, and if no ones offended by it.
