RE: Macrovision??? :-(

Macrovision is "The DVD`s Anti Copy System).
It stops you from copying your DVD`s to Video cassettes, much the same as the tape to tape version adopted in the late 80`s.

However the player has a chip and some software that detects a copy protected disc (the protection is on the disc).
the system is reverse engineerable by "Chipping" the player. This can be done by a reputable company or by yourself if you feel capable. Some players are simple others very specialised, pioneer in particular are not for the faint hearted !.

Hope this helps

Neil

RE: Wharfedale deathtrap

The problem you have has resulted in Wharfedale recalling all the 16-9 sets only. Yes they have had modifications, two to be precise.
Hopefully you situation will be resolved soon.
Next time buy a Toshiba !
