RE: 4KUS DVR-230

Hi Garry,

Machine does not record to -R or -RW, only playback, better than my 5006B quality wise but only +R & +RW, Asda in Pudsey only had 6 when I bought one, had them for a week but sold none.

All the best with your purchase and glad to help.

Chris.

RE: 4KUS DVR-230

Hi GaryEbs,

Found 4KUS to be good playback machine for both retail discs and DVD+/- R/RW done on pc with Pioneer 105, Optorite DD1205 and MSI DR8, also ok with VCD and SVCD, home made and shop bought. As for the hack, this just gives you multi region, tried region 1, 2, 3 with no problems, macro still on, the macro off came from the fact that over on vcdhelp.com theres a thread there relating to an ILO DVDR04 made for Walmart that the 4KUS is based on with new PAL tuner and scart sockets, a guy there stated that he had recorded Macro free from the tuner? so I thought I`d try it for the stated reason, kids have loads of prerecorded tapes that are wearing away and are not available on DVD or new tapes, need to test this more as only done limited series (5 Discs). Tried el-cheapo Bulkpak DVD+RW, Mirror +R, Pheonix +R (also Mega Cheap) and all usual eg. Verbatim +RW, Samsung+RW and Phillips +RW with no coasters, all in all really happy with this machine and at the price a bargain.
Hope that helps.

Regards Chris...

RE: Hack needed for 4KUS DVD-Recorder from ASDA!!!!

Hi Ken, Hack for this machine same as Liteon 5005/6 .
Go into setup menu and arrow down to highlight exit tab, enter 2960 and region selection appears, choose your region or select multi region, left arrow to exit tab but do not press exit, just hit setup button. :D

Cheers.

RE: 4KUS DVR-230

Hi, been viewing this site for a while, good to be in such august company.

Bought one of these puppy`s on Saturday at local ASDA.
Player is actually UK modified ILO DVR04 (see VCDHELP.COM).
Plays and records well, tried Mirror +R on sale in local £1 emporium and works fine, RGB enabled (no colour saturation problems like Liteon 5005 that it replaced), has same MR hack, also has macro bypass via scart connector by putting video in pause mode, then pressing record on DVDR remote, after about 20 seconds press play on video and it will record to end of film. Tried this as experiment as small son has series of videos that get played every day and are wearing out, film had macro on as just pressing record while film playing brought up "copy protected" on screen. Asda look set to roll out other models as compatible disc list mentions DVR-231, DVR-330 and DVR-530, A 5006 clone which does + and - and CDR/RW, all in all very happywith this for the princely sum of £139.97 (GBP) :D
