Page 1 of LG DVD-3350E Uncovered

Took the lid off my 3350 to compare with the Aiwa and they do sound as if they are very similar. The only obvious difference in ICs was while the Aiwa has an LG GDC25D801C 0018, the 3350 has an LG GDC25D801C 0022.

As it was a nasty rainy day I chucked a web page together showing the guts of the machine:

I have also found what claims to be a method of displaying the firmware version etc. However I have not managed to get this to work on my own machine. Perhaps some other LG/clone owners would like to give it a whirl.

1. Press Set-up button on Remote controller
2. Select TV Aspect
3. Place the cursor on 16:9 wide
4. Press number button 1397139 in order

Nice stylish page. A lot better than you-know-whos!

Thanks for the compliment, but I think it`s a case of style over content.

Thats a SICKENER aint it?
It looks like the Aiwa has a slightly earlier firmware than the LG. One that could play VCDs!!! Why on earth did LG remove this and charge more?

I bet you keep asking yourself that!

Yes Carrot, Troll`s artistic talents are commendable.
I hope you are going to expand the site into other LG stuff Troll!

I BET YOU LOVE THAT HITACHI PROCESSOR RUNNING THE WHOLE DAMN SHOW IN YOUR LG3350:)

I doubt it Duke. As I don`t have any other LG stuff and they are not normally at the top of my shopping list - however this may now change.

> I BET YOU LOVE THAT HITACHI PROCESSOR RUNNING THE WHOLE DAMN SHOW. . .

That`s the SH7034 right? So what is the extra S for if it`s an HITACHI. Oh, now I understand. :-P

Has any one tried out the firmware version display yet? Can you give it a try on your Aiwa Jimbo - I promise it doesn`t do anything nasty (in fact it probably won`t do anything at all).

Regarding the display of firmware version etc:
It works on my LG, but you need to press Select after entering the code.

I get:

MODEL : LG WEST EUROPE
REGION : NO.02
NATION : GB 00
MICOM : VER1.2 20000712
SERVO : D003
MPEG : 0L40 20APR00
MISCEL : 11 A0
47 42 00 FD 10 00 00 00

I`ve no idea what half of this means, but at least there`s a couple of dates in there to compare with! How does this info compare to other players?
According to http://www.lgelectronics.co.uk/ there`s a version 1.3 from October, but the download procedure (if it applies to this model) involves specialist hardware!

That`s the SH7034 right? So what is the extra S for if it`s an HITACHI. Oh, now I understand. :-P

Hahahaha Tell me about it funboy!
My last Tv had a panny tube so I didnt bother with the extended garuntee, but my 523 has a LG tube so I quickly paid the extra 60 fazzoo`s.

Sorry Troll but I just dont trust those litle korean friends of your:P

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HITACHI Power`s the LG3350!

AIWA must make yer sick old chap?

HITACHI ROCKS!!!!!(Inside the LG3350! Too)

Hey troll when i try the hack to do reigon 1 only put in a reigon 2 and it still plays ??? this has got me baffled set it to 2 and only r2 plays set it to 0 and they all play this is weird.

Duke Hitachi power the 3350 great but i dont mind who powers it as long as it runs well an belive you me it does i am one very happy 3350 owner.

Lg 3350 Rocks big time!!!!!!!!!!

Daz, thats just one little funny quirk we`ve found on the Aiwa and the LG!

Anyways, Troll, press enter after you do the code...works on the aiwa too!
