Page 1 of Anyone got a Hack for a Silver Crest KH6778 DVD Player

Hi all. Got this Silver Crest KH6778 DVD Player from Lidl for only £22.99. Not a bad deal if you only wnat to play back region 2 DVD`s. Would be handy if this player could be made into region free playback which really would make it a better buy. Anyhow if anyone knows how to do it then let me know.

Hey

I got the same dvd today from Lidl hoping that it would be Multi Region but no luck.

Please reply if you know of any hack.

Just Found out how to do it.....

Open tray and press 2812 on your remote.

You can change the Region at this point

:)

Added- Put the Region to number 9 to play everything.

cheers

Thank you man, you have just made my day!

The hack worked perfectly and you can even turn off Macrovision!

Cheers, FlyingStart.

Nice one. Will give it a try this weekend. How did you work it out.

It was a mistake, I searched for the hack on the net and I found one for a different Silvercrest dvd player. I accidently pressed the wrong code (I got it mixed up with a different code I read)

To my suprise the code worked.

ps- I forgot to mention the macrovision thing.

Hi man, thanks a lot for the region hack.
Tomorrow will be this player here in Lidl for 43 EUR.
What`s your experience with DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW reading. I still worry about reading rating.
I hope it will not be a crock.

Thanks for reply.

seen them advertised in either the silver or black finish, i must say at £23 i have been very tempted to buy one But have some doubts as i can`t seem to find a review on them anywhere

are they any good?

This is, (almost), the same DVD as eBench`s KH6777 (same hack too) which I returned to Lidl after 9 months of frustration! The remote only worked after hitting it and had to be pointed exactly to the front of the DVD-player and dvd`s hang up occasionally.

Hopefully this model is a better buy, I will buy one and see.
