RE: GOODMANS GDVD124 can it play VCD`s ?

Yep.
The Goodmans 124 can play: DVD/SVCD/VCD/DVCD/CD-MP3/CD-DA/CDI, as standard. So it should be Macro off.

RE: Alba 103

I own a Goodmans but a Bush hack works on mine.

It is called rebadging just because the name is different the stuff inside may be the same.

As I said before I own a Goodmans model but a Bush hack works on mine, if you look at alot of the hacks different models work for diiferent machine. One hack can work on a few different machines, look and you will see this.

Example: The Sampo 560 hack works on the Encore 450, Apex 600a, Afreeys.

The Ariston hack works on a Alba machine.

RE: i give up! (daewoo ds2000d)

Not sure that this will help but have a go.

1. Turn on player with no disc in and press "stop".
2. Press "setup", "title", "step" and "next". You are now in the engineer`s menu.
3. Scroll to the very bottom until you get to REGION. In REGION go down to bottom and select BYPASS. You are now region free.
4. Just above REGION is something called MACROVISION. This will be set to auto but if you turn it off you can now make great "backups" of you DVDs on VHS or whatever through the video out.

The model this worked on was the daewoo dqd2000 & dhc 2200

Try using one of the ones for the Bush or Goodmans players, they are all made by Alba.

Goodmans 124 hack found!

It is the same hack as the SMC DVD 330S and Bush DVD 2002


CODE CHANGE:
1) Turn on player and open tray.
2) On the remote press 7,7, Select.
3) A hidden menu will appear on your TV screen. Use the directional buttons to scroll down to "Country Code". Press SELECT on the remote and change the setting to the Region Code you need, 1 thru 6, however changing it to "13" to make it code free.
4) After entering the desired number press SELECT.
5) From this menu you can change other settings, but to exit the menu just press RETURN.

DISABLE MACROVISION:
1) Access hidden menu as described above.
2) Use directional buttons on remote to scroll down to "Macrovision".
3) The default setting is "1" which seems to mean "enabled". Press SELECT and then press the "0/10" button; this clears the setting.
4) Press SELECT and the setting changes to "0" which disables it.
5) Press RETURN to exit the menu

RE: Goodmans 124 DVD Does anyone know the region hack??????????

Cheers for that, but no joy i`m afraid. The remote I have has not got a mute button on it.
Thanks for replying anyway,

RE: Goodmans 124 DVD Does anyone know the region hack??????????

I need this also, c`mon some-one out there must be able to help?

GOODMANS!!

The Goodmans model 124, is it the same as any other machine?

I have tried and tried with it but I have come to the conclusion that I have finally found a machine that is un - hackable.

It is not an Oriton, I don`t think.

Goodmans 124 mystery

Does this player actually exist in the `Real World?`

I have since found out it came from Argos and have seen it in the catalogue, but have not found ANYTHING on the web or in a magazine relating to it.

It is a nice looking machine, nice price, nice quality. But having found no cracks for region free I am thinking about changing it but it is handy as it is a Mp3 player also.

Surely there must be someone out there who can help, I will even give you a can of Beer or a cup of tea if you want to come round and have a go on the one and only model that seems to be in existence!!

Please, please help I do not really want to change it as it was a very generous birthday present.

Cheers
Caron
