Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
I have read and tried the hack for the dvd-709 on this site (It failed for me), using an older style one-4-all 6 remote (I am gonna buy a newer one to make sure it was working correctly). I am now wondering if it is possible to upgrade the firmware on this the richer sounds sourced samsung dvd-709 to a newer firmware so that I can enable the hack, since the beginning of the article seems to say that the early firmware is the problem with these foreign 709`s (mine is french).
Could more experienced users help me out?
RE: Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
How old is your machine? Im pretty sure that Richer Sounds sourced models sold in the last few months (since The Matrix fiasco in fact) are all hackable.
RE: Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
It is 3-4 months old, I have only just tried to multiregion it though since I now have aregion 1 disc. I do have some problems with the matrix, when using the menu system selecting enter seems to change choice as well. In austin 2 it has problems with the commentary stopping at the end of each scene. Is this an example of the problems you were talking about? If so do richer sounds have a policy on this problem, and what is it?
RE: Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
Richer Sounds are VERY good about problems regarding kit bought from them. I`m sure if you rang and explained that you were experiencing problems with The Matrix and Austin Powers 2 they will most likely just offer an exchange.
However, as for the hack, your machine falls neatly into the pre v3.27 firmware category so this should work.
RE: Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
Thanks for the advice RJS I took back my machine to be firmware upgraded and got a loan machine in the meantime. So i`ll wait to do the hack on my own machine with the new firmware. What is the cheapest remote to get to do the job? I`m pretty sure my old one4all 6 can`t do it, maybe it needs an upgrade over the phone I not sure if even this would work (Does anyone know the phone number to call?)
What do I need to get the remote to emulate and which functions do I need to get it to trigger?
btw this is an ace site
RE: Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
I`d have thought your oneforall 6 WOULD work actually. It needs to simulate an Aiwa HiFi amp, your booklet should say if it can do this.
RE: Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
Ok but which model number aiwa amp and what specific functions does it need to emulate? I`m a bit unclear as to what the 079 key combo is supposed to be?
Also does any one know the one4all phone number for a recent upgrade?
Or even their web address?
Recent Addition: The guide on the hack says to use the Aud button on the one4all 6, mine doesn`t have this button so do you mean a newer version of the remote?

Does it have an Aux button?
The 079 I think simulates the random function. You select 121 to choose Aiwa amps. I dont think this is listed in some manuals for the remotes either.

Hello Guys
I have just changed my Ariston for a Samsung at Richer Sounds as I was having probs playing Pulp Fiction ( dual layer ) and also CD`s. They were unable to hack it for me as they did not have a region 1 disk !!! I have also invested in a Cambridge Audio M1 remote. Does anybody know if these remotes can be programmed to do the hack ???
Rgds
RE: Enable hack on richer sounds bought samsung dvd-709?
If they can emulate an Aiwa HiFi remote then I reckon the Cambridge Audio M1 can be used. Although you`d have to do a bit of fiddling to find the right combinations.
Do they have a support line or email addy you can ring/mail? I`m sure they`d tell you what to do in order to simulate the Aiwa buttons on our hack page.
