Page 1 of Wharfedale brightness problem - IT`s OFFICIAL!

I don`t know if it`s a firmware problem, or a compatibility issue, or if its common to all Wharfedale 750(s) players, but I know what I`ve seen, and it`s been confirmed. It`s official. There are Wharfedale 750s being sold that are outputting shoddy pictures, lacking in brightness, that are disturbingly dark on a TV, and almost completely indefinable via video projector. I know from my extensive research online that (very) few people are experiencing this, but if "pmoran" who posted on HCCs forum with a similar problem is reading this, thank-you for confirming that I am not in fact going mad or blind. All I can say to you is "Take it back now!". When I returned mine today, the (very candid) shop assistant not only told me that the Wharfedale widescreen TVs that I was looking at are crap and are coming back every day, but also that mine was the third 750 to be returned with a brightness problem. For anyone experiencing this, the problem does NOT go away if you connect via scart/RGB. It`s just not quite as bad. If you`re panicking about where to go next, can I recommend the Samsung 511. Fully hackable, and on first viewing, fully capable. If you`re interested, let me know, and I`ll keep you posted, but so far, it`s blowing the 750 out of the water!

Is the multi region hack permanent and can you disable macro ?

I`ll have to remember if our Wharfedale W/S TV goes wonky that there`s a history of this.....should ensure a prompt resolution!

Having said that....still going strong!

The multi reigon hack is permanent.
The brightness problem is probably because you have plugged into the wrong scart socket, if you have more than 1 . Plug into the socket marked S-VIDEO. I done this on a borrowed 750 and it worked.
I have now bought a samsung 511 and think its great. Ive multi reigoned it with its own remote and had no problems.
