RE: Hack needed for LG RC1000 DVD/VCR Recorder

Hi,

I`ve just bought one of these. The hack for the LG RC-6800 (in the info/ multi-region hacks section of this site) also works on this machine. You might as well select the region zero option, rather than a particular region: I`ve tested it with region 1 to 4 discs (including R1 RCE) and it played all of the ones I tried. One point to note, after you`ve performed the hack, go back into setup and take the lock off.

Have fun,

NickM :)

RE: How do I get a Hack for LG DVD 4710

I think the Aiwa 370 hack will work on this one. It`s listed in the Multi-Region hacks section in this site.

RE: Philips HDRW720 Region Hack?

More on the HDRW720 and RCE. RCE discs can be played of you input the code `121212005001` (i.e. if you make it region 1). However, you still have to enter `play 1 5 9` to get here and, as with other Philips machines, the region may lock after 25 changes (I`ve not tested this!). The `one for all` method of getting to the code inputting stage does not work. There may be a different codeset for doing this, please let me know if you know how to do this.

I`ve found a partial solution to the RCE problem. With the player set to multiregion, if while the RCE disc is loading you press `select` then `return` on the remote control it will play the disc sometimes: in fact it will play an RCE disc using this method every one in five attempts. I have no idea how to make this work every time, or if this is possible. Also, once you`ve done this for a particular disc, if you put it in again the auto resume feature restarts play from the previous point and you can then replay it. Note that if you do this and go to any of the menus you will get the `RCE` screen and have to take the disc out and start again. This works with both versions 1.6 and 2.6 of the firmware.

Any comments/ suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick M

RE: Philips HDRW 720

Hi Jesper,

I`ve just posted a query related to this (see threads). There is a multiregion hack (see same thread) but it does not seem to work for region 1 RCE discs. Also be aware that this machine does not output PAL 60, but you should be fine with an NTSC compatible TV or one that has an RGB input.
