RE: Minato z9 dvd players at Netto £50

Apparently this is the hack

Try the following steps on your remote control;

1. Press `Open`
2. Then type in `7,2,8,1,8,0`

Hope this helps LMK especially if it`s hacks the MACRO.

RE: Anyone got a Manhattan Ultra-Slim USL-2?

Nothing as yet, still got my eye on this player but waiting for a confirmed Macro hack even wrote to a few magazines so we`ll see.
I`ve also noticed some stores on line selling it Macro unlocked for an extra £50!! And because it`s PAL 50 playback back ups from R1 would be the dogs!!

RE: Anyone got a Manhattan Ultra-Slim USL-2?

There`s a very good review of it in Essential Home Cinema this month which is one of the reasons I was looking at buying it, they give it 4 stars out of 5 overall.

RE: Anyone got a Manhattan Ultra-Slim USL-2?

OK got this MACRO hack of a friend & looking to see if it works on this player.


Manhattan DVD2000/USL1 Macrovision


Setting up for multi region or specific region playback.

To put the machine into multi region set up, press the following buttons:

Setup, Title, Step, Next.

A menu should now be on screen with the word at the base
YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE.

Using the down cursor button press until you go below the the Country setting.

Macrovision should now appear. Press the right cursor button to highlight the OFF setting then press the select button followed bythe left cursor key to exit the Macrovision settings.

Again press the down cursor key, then right cursor button. This shows the region settings for playing various DVDs. Using the down cursor button go down to BYPASS and press SELECT, then left cursor to exit regional settings. Lastly press SETUP to leave the setup menu.

You should now be able to play all region discs plus copy DVDs to video recorders........


LMK if it does the job as the MACRO is the only thing stopping me from buying this player.

RE: Anyone got a Manhattan Ultra-Slim USL-2?

Wrote to Eurosat who replied saying they were aware of macro hacks available on the NET but would not confirm or deny it`s capabilty to remove Macro (obviously a legal thing). I believe SCAN are linked to manhattan so maybe a SCAN hack could do the job?

Anyone got a Manhattan Ultra-Slim USL-2?

Seen them the other day look like a good alround player but interested to find out a users opinion?
Also after any Macro Hack details?

Cheers

RE: Umax Yamada 2100 Disabling Macrovision??

Hi m8,
Saw a German Macro Hack for a UMAX on vcdhelp.com the other day.
Don`t know if that`ll be any help?
I don`t speak German so I didn`t have the foggiest maybe you could mail the poster & see if he can translate into English.
LMK how you get on as I really wanna buy one of the players but NEED the Macro off.

RE: Please help - Amazon.com & Customs charges

Normally anything over £18.00 (gift or other) should incure customs charges.
Thats why companies such as Play 24/7 have prises structures at the £17.99 mark

Cheapest SWEP 1?

I see that Movietyme are doing the R4 (pal) version for £14.99 inc P+P.

RE: is it possible to play copied vcd`s on Samsung 511

I found as long as you use SILVER`s your alright, the Sammy thinks it`s a normal music CD then the VCD is recognised & your laughin.
I bought a batch of Office World`s own brand 10 4 £8.99 last week
done the job OK.
