180594	2003-10-05 04:32:00	I am thinking of getting a combo VCR/DVD unit to replace my old video in the bedroom. Only gets use when in bed sick or if the main video is being used. Had a look round the net and can't find a review on the Digitor VCR/DVD (G1629) combo (the one at Dick Smiths). Does anyone have one and what do they think of it? Mainly looking at it because it is aprox. $200 cheaper that the Samsung VCR/DVD combo. Thanks Jeff.	Jeff (1070)

They even give the full region unlock code on the web page. I suspect it will have a Macrovision unlock code as well, if you could track it down. It will probably be sold under another brand somewhere in the world, if you do a Google search on any model numbers you can find on it. The price makes it attractive, it saves the clutter of 2 units.	godfather (25)

My mate in San Fran has just upgraded to his second unit and has put a humongous 200Gb drive in it (he's a hacker, can't resist playing with the technology). robo.	robo (205)

Some DVD players can defeat the MV system, the Mustek from DSE is one of them. There is a secret menu for zoning, and another less publicised one for Macrovision defeat. Never tried it however.	godfather (25)
