Page 1 of New machine - Yelo 800DVD

This player got a glowing review from Total DVD - it seems to have everything - anyone got one?

And does it have NTSC-PAL50 transcoding? It is specced as NTSC/PAL output, but it isn`t clear if this means transcoding......

I should be able to answer that question when i get my Yelo 800 at the end of the month. Apparently they are still waiting for a batch to arrive.

It was me who mentioned this little beauty to the group over a month ago, I just hope it burn`s the Mico and take the budget king title!

So carrot can feel cheap and sworded:P

only joking carrot!

or am I:P

HITACHI 505 ROCKS!

The spec says that it has macrovision disabled so you can tape to vhs. My coleuge at work says this is fine for region 2 disks but will not work with recording region 1 disks. My vcr is ntsc compatible. Is this true ?

I have a confirmed delivery of a yelo player .arriving on the 29th. Willl the players still have macrovision like originaly planned or will they now have it enabled ?

If macro vision is disabled then it is disabled full stop so R1`s should work, but if they dont copy to VHS, then switch the signal to output pal?
The yelo has a built in converter.

That should work

HITACHI 505 ROCKS!

How com you keep saying the hitatchi 505 rocks. I was reading a review of it to today and they gave it 5/10 saying picture quality let it down. Cant remember the title of the mag but it did have a picture of Jurasic park on the cover.

Because I have one and it play`s great!
I have aslo had my hand`s on a mico 890 and even though the hitachi is almost twice the price(hacked & macro) it is not twice the machine.

IT IS IN MY WORD`S CONSIDERABLY BETTER VISUALLY & AUDIO WISE.

also What DVD gave it 4 out of 5 and they never found the MP3 easter egg.

But I prefer the reviews of people who have had to pay hard cash for their player`s and at an american review site the player recieved an average of 4.15 out of 5, The two or 3 reviews that dissed the 505 where because there machines had a fault, it skipped on the audio & video!

could you show me this review?

My player does not show any of this skipping therefore it F! ROCKS! BIGTIME!

finally I couldnt think of an original signature:)

Enjoy your Yelo & say thank`s Ironduke:P

and remember................HITACHI 505! ROCKS! BIGTIME!

I know Im scum:)

im not worthy! Thanks for the reply Ill check out the name of the mag that the reveiw is in tomorrow. Catch ya later

DVD Review has jurassic park splattered all over the front so it could be this!


HITACHI 505 ROCKS!
