Region code hack posted by DJ, July 12 2005:
Found this on a UK web site, ActonElectronics.com. Two completely different hacks, I haven`t tested them but here they are for your information:

---[QUOTE]---

To change setting from region 2 to the region of your choice:
1. Power on the player
2. With the remote control press set up.
3. With the remote control press the following sequence of
numbers: 1, 6, 9, 5, 1, 8.
4. A hidden menu will appear.
5. Choose your required region from 0-9
6. Region 0 sets the player to multiregional.
7. Exit the menu and power off and then power on. The player
will now be set to the region of your choice.

If the above hack does not work then please use the one below. It is dependant on whatever version of the Firmware is on the player. The latest version will work with the following:
1. Press Setup
2. Press Rec
3. Press <8>-<1>-<0>-<5>
4. Press Rec
5. Select the region code with the number keys or the navigation keys. 0 for Multiregion.
6. Press Setup to return from the setup menu

thanks to DJ for this hack

ASDA is a store in the UK

oh ok cool

Asda has been part of the Wal-Mart empire for a few years now.



I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

Do you know that the ASDA dvr1600 can be used with certain types of DVD-R?

Fujifilm, Intenso, SK and Maxell are the brands which are capable of being recorded using this machine.

Anyone figure out why, when a DVD is formatted and the main menu is shown, it is impossible to get 4 to 6hrs worth of recording? Seems that you loose quite a lot of time!
Also, in SP (should be 2hrs mode) it actually allows you only 115mins NOT 120.
When you want to do multi recordings, and opt for 6hrs, the quality is terrible.
Is this the same for all DVD recorders?
If not, I need a quality machine to transfer all my thunderbirds, midnight caller, monkey, joe 90 etc.

Hi & thanks for the information, I got one of these machines last weekend from Asda, and it wouldn`t play my favourite film, The Crying Game (USA Import), I done the second hack you list and presto, it works fantastic.

Anymore hacks for these machines would be handy, I like the machine, although it does have a couple of niggly annoying things about it that could be better, but hey, I guess you need to pay a lot more for extra features.

One annoying thing is, when I burn DVDs on the PC on DVD+R discs, they wont play on the machine, but DVD-Rs are fine.
