Indy.'s Review of Limit 8072

Good Points

Hack works, picture and sound quality is sharp, plays VCD and mp3s.


Bad Points

Some DVDs don't seem to work correctly e.g blade 2 and planet of the apes. Machine is a bit bulky but doesn't matter due to the price I payed for it anyhow.


General Comments

I brought the Limit 8070 (8072) from Richer Sounds about three weeks ago. The person who works there recommended it to me saying that is was an absolute bargain at £80. It was easy to set up. The machine to look at seems a bit bulky but when you play DVDs on it you find that the picture and sound quality is really sharp. I liked the fact that I was given a hack that would allow me to play any region DVD. I think that the hack works because I can play VCDs on the player and it is not supposed to. You can set the region on the player to any or set it up as multi region. The player also has different sound options so you can set it to play the sound as pop, classical, live etc, which is good if you want to play music cds or mp3s. The only thing that I have found with the Limit 8070 is that it will not play blade 2 and Planet Of The Apes properly. On Blade2 it works fine until it reaches chaper 12 then it always misses three chapers. I tried the DVD several times always the same result. I tried the DVD in a older model Limit of my bothers and the DVD works fine. In planet of the apes if always misses a couple of frames but nothing major. All my other DVDs work fine.

    I to have just bought a Limit 8070 from Richer Sounds but was totally unaware of a hack that allows you to play VCD's, play disk from any region etc. Can you pleeeeease tell me how and where i can aquire this hack. One more point, i thought the 8070 was meant to be multi region?! (im new to this DVD lark, so forgive my ignorance)

    I will post the hack the next time I log on. I brought another copy of Blade 2 and Planet of the Apes and both worked fine. The other two DVDs must have been corrupted or something.
