RE: CINEA SV300

Hi ivanmacx, yeah that`s the impression I got too, when I registered the machine, that it would be trivial to make the machine multi region if that was the company policy. Sadly, I couldn`t persuade the woman on the phone to spill the beans.

As a BAFTA member I`ve just received an apology email from UIP, who have just mistakenly sent out region 1 screeners of Munich because of "a laboratory error in the US", after the close of round one voting. I`m sure it`s a great film but with the hassle involved I doubt I`ll watch it before voting ends. I`m strongly considering relegating the Cinea player to the attic if I can`t find a multi region hack. I`ll let you know if I succeed!

Cheers

Cinea themselves have recently upgraded and expanded the machine and it`s now multi-region so all is well

Hi Voltaire51 - can I ask where you heard that the SV300 had become region-free? I have been sent an upgrade disc ("Release 1.1") which I have installed, but the machine will still only play region 2 disks. Cinea are still saying that the machine can`t be set to region-free (eg in their faq at http://www.cinea.com/sv300faq.html#regionfree, although that might be out of date). It`s particulaly annoying because the BAFTA screeners Warner Bros have started sending out are half region 1 and half region 2, meaning I have the hassle of connecting different machines in order to watch the screeners. So of the Cinea can be made region free I`d be really grateful for any clue how to go about it.

Cheers.
