 Region code hack posted by Bruce John Shourt, May 03 2005: | |||
Just a general note: I bought my Pioneer PRV-LX1 about two years ago and the operating system got scrambled so that, among other malfunctions, about every third time it powered up a message screen appeared asking "Change Region? Insert disc now . . .? I've asked the Pioneer tech people several times about it and they always denied knowing anything about it. Since I didn't have anything but Region 1 movie discs I wasn't able to experiment before it went back to Pioneer for repair, and of course, I never saw the message with the fixed unit. Somebody at Pioneer surely knows, even if it's as simple as accessing the service Menu. The unit, like other Pioneers, plays uncoded PAL and the newer software versions allow PAL recording. Also, this unit (via menu) encodes the Wide ID mark necessary for anamorphic recordings so that players are able to recoqnize anamorphic dscs and enable letterboxing for compatibility with 4:3 displays. My consumer Pioneer recorder (DV-520H) doesn't hve thi Menu item. | |||
