Need Mico Clasica 20 DVD Hack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My parents have recently bought a Mico Clasica 20 from Sainsburys..... I was wondering if anyone knows if a multi-region hack is needed and if so, what it is.
I`ve had a look around for info but can`t find anything.
Any help would be great.

Hi there fellow Mico Clasica 20 owners. With no disk in the drive enter on the remote:
2
9
1
8
PLAY
Set region to Zero
Macro to zero on page 2 (gets reset after power down)
let me know how you get on :)

Thanks
I`ve just bought a Mico Classica 20 in Savacentre having toyed with getting a Tosh 110 or 210 (dearer but more facilities) with multiregion upgrade. The Mico seemed cheaper and had all the facilites and other Micos were multiregional so I gambled this is too.
The player works well with my cheap mono Tesco TV via SCART but the volume is low via TV.
I tried your method and accessed the "service" menu.
I altered the region to 0 but having only region 2 discs (new purchaser) can only say that it still plays.
I can confirm Macrovision flag resets on power up but didn`t try a recording.
I noticed that Error Correction (page 2) is set to OFF
Any idea what some of the other options are for? (just curious).
Some players only allow a fixed number of changes: does this apply to the Classica 20?
I had a query on Set Up and contacted Mico on www.micoelectric.com and had a speedy reply.
If you have any more tips on this unit I`d love to hear but fear this will be one way traffic.
Thanks again

this works well and is the same for the celo 80
I bought one of the above yesterday
1. Make sure there is no DVD in the player`s tray.
2. Using the remote control, key in the following: 2, 9, 1, 8, Enter.
3. You should then be in the hidden menu, where you change the region on the first page, or use 13 for region free.
4. You can also disable Macrovision on the second page of the menu.

Follow Up from last mail
Can confirm Macrovision Switch Off with your hack, made good recording test using Scart box
Have just bought £9.75 box from Argos (534/0370 ), 3 Selectable Scarts in for 1 out but also allows direct feed of two of the Inputs to the recording device (VHS) on 3rd input.
Extra bonus has phono outputs in parallel so can take stereo sound from Video or DVD to HiFi
Also has an RGB switch.
There is another box on same page for same price.
Thanks

Hi i`ve typed in the 2918 hack and altered the region to 13 but on the next page it`s just got error correction, where is the macrovision disabling bit and how do you do it. Please help
