Hitachi htdk170 hack needed

From London,

Your a star

It actually works, after all this time I had just about given up, now my system is perfect.

Thanks for all the effort and persistence

From England,

I had sort of given up then out of the blue I received an email with the hack, I've tried to follow up all the posts I made on all the forums but can only find but a few. The only thing I haven't tried is an RCE disc, do you have any to try (The Patriot, The 6th Day from memory are RCE).

Enjoy

Yes I played Tears of the Sun with Bruce Willis, this is a RCE disk and it played with no problems. This makes a good system great.

I had almost given up on getting a hack and was in the process of copying my region 1 disk to DVD-R as region free and then playing them on my Hitatchi.

If you have a DVD writer on your computer then try DVD shrink it's a freeware program and works like a treat to encode dvd's.

From London,

I have played Tears of the Sun region 1. This disk is RCE protected and plays perfectly on my system.

From England,

Ace, because the posts are taking a few days to appear I've managed to try The Patriot and that works great

I'm well pleased with the 170 now, I noticed Argos are pushing it again in the press with £50 off the complete tv, video, dvd system.

This isn't a request for a hack code but help with actually conecting my system. I'v tried to connect the DVD player and TV using the "Output to TV" scart on the back of the DVD player (the one on the bottom) into EXT1 on the TV, I can get a picture but no sound so I'v used the other scart socket (on top) and have to change MODE to SCART to get sound. Why is this? Am I doing something wrong. I'v asked Hitachi tech dept. and their as good as useless and you guys seem to know an awfull lot more. PLEASE HELP!!!

From England,

I'll have to check mine when I get home to see how I have it setup.

From London,

Mine is connected to the TV Via the TV out scart socket with no problems at all. I would try another lead and if you still have problems I think it might be a faulty system.

Hitachi tech dept. say I must have an input source (ie video) connected to DVD as well to complete the circuit - Does that sound right?

From London,

I have a video attached to my system, but it worked even without the video ain the "circuit"
