Page 1 of NEED HELP?PHILLIPS DVDR 3305

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.JUST BOUGHT A PHILLIPS DVDR 3305.TRIED TO TAPE AN ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES VCR TAPE TO DVD,MESSAGE CAME UP SAYING"RECORDING PAUSED,COPYRIGHT MATERIAL".DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO GET ROUND THIS PROBLEM.I FOUND A HACK TO CHANGE IT TO MULTI REGION,DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THIS WILL SOLVE MY PROBLEM.

Multi Region hack is so that you can play DVDs from other countries, EG: Europe is Region 2 USA is Region 1 (I believe), the region hack for the 3305 works perfect, I have got one and done the hack on mine.
Now, the problem you are getting, trying to copy your OF&H tapes onto DVD, the problem is the MACROVISION PROTECTION, there is no macrovision hack for this machine (unless someone knows one, if so I need it pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease).

The only way round it is to buy a special scart lead, with built in electronics to get rid of the macrovision, they can be expensive, but apparently they do work (I have not tried one yet).

Try one of these:

1. Use a scart - 3 phono lead. Plug the scart plug into the VCR and the red/white/yellow phono plugs into the front inputs of the DVDR3305. You`ll need to select the front inputs as the recording source.

2. Connect VCR to DVD via the old-fashioned RF leads and select TUNER as recording input.
