Page 1 of What`s the difference? LG DVD-3000E & DVD-3200E

I can`t find reviews of the LG 3000E anywhere on the web, or in specialist literature. But it`s for sale in Tesco! Just what difference does it make when you swap a 2 for a 0?

There are just a few differences between the two.

The 3000 has a better decoder chip (ziva-4) rather than the 3200`s Ziva-3, and therefore does give better picture quality. As far as I know the sound is the same. The 3000 is VCD/MP3 hackable, but will only play original pressed cd`s. The 3200 is not VCD hackable, but will play cd-r`s (I think).

Check out IT Troll`s site at www.lgdvd.co.uk for more info.

In case you`re wondering, I have the 3000 (£150 from Tesco and I don`t regret it!)

Rob!

I have also just bought a LG3000 from Tesco.

Have you performed the region free hack and if so did it work `cos I`ve tried the hack and can`t get it to work.

If you`ve any ideas please let me know.

Thanks

Nope, the 3200 can`t do CDR.

Alternative option: Aiwa 370.
Cut down 3350 (no Dolby decoder or bookmarking) with MP3 and VCD capability.

Downside? It`s BLACK, but comes with 3 DVD`s from Comet for £199.99

but my champagne one has been sold...::sniff::

Timing is the key; not too fast, not too slow - keep at it, it`ll work...

Timing IS the key. I tried the region hack many times to no avail.

Then, it worked. Set it to region 1 (it still plays region 2 disks without re-hacking). You will have a region/RCE free dvd player for £150 (Tesco).

Can you tell me what the remote hack is for the 3000E or where I can find it? Is it the same as the 3200E?

Thanks
