Which DVD Player for backing up DVD`s from DVDR880
I have a Philips DVDR 880 recorder and I wish to be able to back up my OWN DVD`s. What cheap DVD player will allow me to record my DVD`s using a scart lead without having to bother with filter leads etc.
I have tried doing this but recieve the "COPY PROTECT" message on the DVDR.
Does anyone have the DVDR880 and a compatable player they can recommend ??

The LG3000E is another...
A handset hack makes it multi-region (RCE compatible) and also disables Macrovision/CGMS.

tony you say that handset hack disables macrovision, well iv`e tried & i`m still getting copy protected when trying to back up dvd`s. mind you i`m not sure that my player is multiregion as i have no region 1 disc to test, is there another way you can find out if hack has worked without actually playing reg1 disc, any help on this would be much appreciated .

I think there is a way to test the player, but you have to use the right discs.... I found that a couple of R2 discs wouldn`t play until I re-entered the hack and selected `2` as the region (normally it plays either type automatically with the deck set-up as R1). I don`t recall which discs exactly, although I think it did it when I rented `The Gift` a few months back. Basically though, if you can`t back-up DVD`s then it plainly hasn`t worked!. Have you definitely entered the hack properly (with the 3,1,4,1,5,9 code) and chosen region 1?. I`ve not had any problems recording DVD`s on my 980. Hope you get it sorted out...
