dvd region x

That code thing was found out afterwoods I think. DVD Region X was only ever ment to be a Region 1 DVD player. However I think they reliesed you need full scart for colour on NTSC products and that full scart ment greenscreen playback. I presume the codes were found to work afterwoods as DVD Region X must use some sort of debugging system.

Nah I dont buy that Rich, why spend time and money developing a product that lets the end user play import dvds........but only in black and white, or glorious green o vision. Doesnt make sense. Dont think it was an afterthought, and if it was then they are one thick bunch, but I doubt it.

welll i just got a scart today and it plays the dvds without green-o-vision(with out the dvd region x in it). the dvd region x plays 1-6 regions,

Kopking Sony offical scarts aren\'t what they seem. Im not sure if this is what you bought.

Anyway check the end connector of the scart...

a) all pins there, full RGB scart, should play in green-o-vision as standard.

b) some pins missing. Composite signal passed through scart, ala lead and connector which comes with PS2.

your completley right, it says scart lead on the box, but doesnt have all the pins, those damn blokes at eb, ill have to take it back tomorrow. they told me it was a full scart lead

Yeah shop staff **** me off, they rarely know what they are talking about. No offense to any of you shop staff out there.

They just tell you what you want to hear. Yeah it seems all the scart cables in gaming shops aren\'t full RGB. Best bet is to get a scart cable aimed for the PS1.

ok, i have a scart for a while now, and just so everyone know, you havent got top put some code in to get rid of the green o vision, you simply do the same as if you was watchiung a different region, meaning if you wanna watc a region 2(the norm where i come from) you got to put the dvd region x in, pick region 2, put the dvd film in and your on your way to watching the film no green o vision included

Is there anything like this so that you can play imports on your UK machine?

You know how you have to have the region x disc in the ps2. Is that just for the first time or for everytime?

Everytime you wanna watch a different region dvd yea you have to load up the region x disk, or if you want to get rid of the green o vision. Hmmmmmmm Kopking I have a full scart lead for the PS1 and when I try to use that on my PS2 it gives green o vision, until that is I load the region x up. Not calling you a liar m8 just wondering what scart lead your using. Mine was the official Sony one for 35 squids. It plays games in full scart but not the movies.

if you read all of my post u would know that, i went in eb, asked for a scart, then put it in ....no green-o-vision. then i checked it wasnt a full scart lead, only 12 pins or something. i took it back got a scart, put dvd region x in play the dvd, with out putting in any codes, and get a perfect pic

I did indeed read ALL of your post. And if you read mine you would have seen I was asking what type of lead you had bought, because what your saying doesnt make sense at all. I have a FULL scart lead, it gives me green o vision when trying to play a dvd movie, until I input the region x codes. So do tell, what type of lead is it that you have and where from, as this may be of some help to readers of this forum who dont wish to purchase the region x.

i cant remember what scart it was, as ive thrown out the box, it is a full scart cos if i try to play a dvd normally i get green o vision. have you tried to play a dvd using the dvd region x without the codes, as in you got a region 1 dvd, put the dvd region x in, choose region 1, then put the dvd in, cos thats how i do it, and i get no green-o-vision

Yup, thats how I did it before the codes came out, still a no go. Interesting this one, might have to ring Datel up on Monday see whats going on. Thanks for the info Kopking m8.

anyone try using it on a game yet ?
