Page 1 of samsung 511 any good

Hi all could anyone tell me if the 511 is any good does it suffer from any of the same problems as the 709 i have the 709 but its really starting to p*** me off keep pausing and skipping

I bought one last week from Asda - £167!!! Took it home, hacked it in about 10 seconds. Plays R1 & R2 discs no problem. There was a review in the winter issue of DVD mag and they said it was a good player and that they expected it to be around £300 so that can`t be bad.

Just know that it can`t play MP 3`s, CD-R`s or CD-RW`s.
And that u`d better make sure that the hack works on your model.
Some firmware versions seem to have difficulties with it.

I have an 811 which is basically the same player with dolby decoder built in. My player was hackable no problem AND will play cd-r`s and cd-wr`s and MP3s.

Wolfman your player is basically the same as the Samsung 711.

Just another quick question does any of you guys know if you can make back up copies ntsc discs to pal vhs with this machine like you can with the 709

The remote hack won`t disable macrovision.

However, there are little devices that can disable it for u...

i`ve had a 511 for a few weeks now and i`ve been pleased with it! bought it for only £150 from a local hifi store. I`ve also tryed region hacking without any problems.
