Macrovision hack on philips DVD711???

does any one know how to disable the macrovision using handset hack??
i was under the impression it is possible. (read Hardware Reviews).
by the way, the multi-region hack works so far so good.

RE: Philips 756 or 711?

hi, i had the same dilema as you when i could not decide between philips 711 and pioneer 535. i chose philips 711 at the end because of upgradability and cdrw replay.

just wondering what was your decision?

Fixing pausing problems during playback???

hi, i have a 6 months old chinese DVD player (i think it`s a hitachi underneath), the player is very sensitive with reading discs. there is this recurrent pause of about half a second every so often during playback. (hence the switch to philips 711).

does anyone know why this is so? and if i can fix it with a cleaning kit?? if not, where can i fix this problem???

thanks for any help.

Firmware for philips711???

How do you find out which firmware your philips 711 has?? i just brought mine and ready to hack it using Allen`s method, but i am getting all confused with the firmware and i don`t know which firmware does my machine have.

In addition, does Allen`s hack disable the macrovision?? Does the 2nd scart on the philip711 allows me to record??

thanks for any reply.

ps. the machine is really good at reading discs. it read my Mummy Returns DVD when it has failed to be recognised on my computer and my chinese DVD player.

Pioneer dv535 or Philips dvd711

Urgent help needed as there isn`t much comparison between the two.
Which one of these two is better with audio music CDs? How easy is it to upgrade the Pioneer dv535 firmware to guard against future changes??
And which is better at reading discs??? as I have lots of vcds and grey DVDs from overseas.
Most grateful for any help and advice provided. Thanks.
