Page 1 of Whats Macrovision and do i need it disabled?

Im abotu to purchase my first DVD player the LG3350e from Techtronics thanks to a lot of reading from this site. Ive just noticed theres 2 versions available £230 multiregion with macrovision or £250 multiregion with macrovision disabled.

Can someone tell me exactly what Macrovision is and does it matter if its enabled on my player or not? I want to go for the cheaper version obviously but not if its something im gonna regret at a later date.

All advice greatfully received.

Basically, Macrovision prevents you from recording DVDs onto VHS tapes, also because of this you cannot hook up your DVD through your video.

So unless you want to do any of the above then you don`t need to have it disabled.

Thanks,

Well im certainly not bothered about recording to VHS tapes but what other reason what i want to put the DVD through my video for?

I was planning on putting the audio through my prologic amp if it makes any difference.

You`d want to link the DVD to the Video if your TV only had one Scart socket. But the LG allows you to plug your video through it in this case.

Macrovision also disrupts the picture on some types of projection TV`s, and I believe it can also cause "phosphur burns" on certain sets.

When you have the option for twenty quid more, personally, I`d take it.

you never know if you`re suddenly gonna come into a bit of dosh and buy an affected set!!
