RE: my philips 710 is locked help me
I have a feeling that you cannot unlock a locked player with the remote hack ... I amy be wrong but if I am not then you will need an auto region chip to reset it

RE: NEED TO MAKE THE SONY DVP S536 MULTI REGION HACK CAN ANYONE HELP?
Glad to see we are keeping this debate constructive rather than it turning into a slagging match as so easily could have happened .....
Loss of RGB on OUR D.I.Y Manual Region mod for the Sony 535/6 735 players when the player is set to region 1 is not ideal ... BUT we clearly state the message below on the user instructions page for these mods ..
"Please note : When region 1 is selected the player is fooled into thinking it is a Region 1 player ... for this reason RGB outputs will not be present on the scart in this mode. The effect of this is that in order to view region 1 disks in colour your TV must be NTSC compatible"
We could easily make auto (not RCE compatible) DIY mods for these players but feel that RGB loss is better than RCE incompatibility .....
We may make and offer these mods anyway in the near fiture so that the customer can make their own choice ....
The mod we sell for the Sony 335/6 is an auto mod that is not RCE compatible and therefore has the same functionality as the MRM mod ... we offer this because the Manual region select mod doesnt work on this model and we see this option as a second choice .... Customers are warned when they click the "buy it" link that the mod isnt RCE compatible .....
On our "RCE" page you will see this text ...
"Unfortunatley a small number of our mods are affected and will not play this disk .. they are listed below. Sony 335/336/535/536/735 AUTO mods .. the manual mods DO work"
Nothing is hidden and all the information is there for the potential customer to make an informed choice ....
Credit should also go to MRM for also stating that their mod is not RCE compatible .....
for full Auto/Manual and Macro disable mods on these player which we are unable to offer customers should check out the following sites (not all sites listed may offer this mod) ...

Over to you Chris for the last word on this ... nothing that I need to reply to please as this discussion if it needs to be continued would be best done by email and not on this forum

RE: NEED TO MAKE THE SONY DVP S536 MULTI REGION HACK CAN ANYONE HELP?
Also to add your `magic mod` 536 is not RCE compatible either.
Steve> I dont sell one so what are you talking about ??
Summary to original poster: Go for an Auto/Manual mod if you want full compatability with no loss of functionality,
Steve> Agreed
doesn`t matter where you buy it from. Usual places recommended are:
http://www.multiregionmagic.co.uk
http://www.linkonline.co.uk
http://www.upgradeheaven.co.uk
Steve> Agreed but for those who cant fit this mod or dont want to pay an arm and a leg for the full manual / auto mod there are other options available

RE: NEED TO MAKE THE SONY DVP S536 MULTI REGION HACK CAN ANYONE HELP?
I was only one off :)
So in summary again .. the drawbacks ......
MRM - Not RCE Compatible
DVDChips - Loose RGB Output
Techtronics - Expensive

RE: Pioneer 530 Hack or Chip
There is no handset hack .. it`s a firmware change to be done by a dealer

RE: NEED TO MAKE THE SONY DVP S536 MULTI REGION HACK CAN ANYONE HELP?
www.multiregionnmagic.co.uk
beware the Multiregion magic auto mod for this player will not play RCE whereas our manual R1 and R2 mod will ....
The manual region mod does have it`s drawbacks though .... when set to Region 1 you loose RGB output so your TV must be able to handle NTSC....
I`m trying to be as impartial as I can here ..... here is the comparision ..
www.dvdchips.co.uk
Manual mod - R1 and R2 - RCE Compatible - Macro On - Fitting Difficult - £25 DIY
www.multiregionmagic.co.uk - Auto all Region - Not RCE Compatible - Macro on - Fitting Easy- £30 DIY
www.techtronics.com - Auto and manual - RCE Compatible - Macro off - Fitting Difficult - £85 DIY plus VAT !!
There is no doubt that the Techtroncics mod is the best but it depends how you feel about the price ....

RE: Pioneer 525 - know any hacks?
It has to be chipped or software replaced by a dealer ... simple as that ... we`re not lying to you ...

RE: RCE hack for Toshiba SD-3109/200/2109/100!!!!
The remote tricks do work for RCE disks ... also as an added bonus it works on Unchipped toshiba players so the more RCE titles that appear the more Region 1 dvd`s your mate will be able to watch without chipping :)

RE: HITACHI 305E.........................FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP!!!PLEASE
If the remote hack doesnt work then you`ll need a modchip or different firmware .... many UK companies will deliver a modchip to Ireland ...

RE: Hitachi p305
If the hack doesnt work then it`s down to your firmware ... either change your firmware for a hackable one .. not easy to find .. or buy an auto region modchip from a chip supplier and solder it in

RE: Hollow Man R1 doesn`t work on Wharfedale 750
One more thing .. if anyone reading this has ordered one of these upgrades and not returned the old chip then please do so asap ... this offer is on the verge of being withdrawn .. one chip left .... with these chips costing almost £20 to buy blank there is no way I`m gonna keep on buying them and selling them for that price ....
Steve

RE: Hollow Man R1 doesn`t work on Wharfedale 750
Damn exchange rate .... it was just under £20 when I set up the ordering system for this part ... means that all my prices are a little out :(

RE: Minato G1 - IS IT LIMITED TO 28 CHANGES
Try it and see ... the worst that could happen is you will need an auto region chip to unlock the player to auto region ....

RE: Get your Minato G-1 REMOTE Hack here!!!
I know one guy on here locked his player intro region 1 and didnt know how he`d done it .... fitting a chip cured it and reset the player to auto region and macro disable
