The Wharfedale M5 Hack?
Posted on Friday, 6 April 2001 at 15:48 GMT
Well, we`re doing well on these M5 exclusives this week aren`t we? I`ve received details of the remote hack for the new Wharfie player, but seeing as I don`t have a machine to test it on, I`d like to ask if people could verify it by posting a comment to this story.
To hack your DVD-M5, do this:
Press the `Setup` button on remote
Select the `Preferences` option on the menu
Press the `Still/Step` Button on the Remote
Press the `Prev` button on the remote
Press the `Next` button on remote
This should take you into a secret menu allowing you to change the region to one of your choice (including region 0 for region free). There`s also the option to disable Macrovision should you wish. The ability to manually select a specific region is a welcome addition as it should allow the unit to play those nasty RCE titles the DVD-750 has had trouble with.
So there you have it. Let us know how you early M5 adopters get on with the above.
