Yamada DVD recorder in Dunnes Stores

dancin · 30-12-2004 9:09pm #1

Just back from the Pavillions in Swords, Co. Dublin. The dunnes stores in there has a stack of Yamada DVD recorders (DVR-8100) for €199 (marked down from 299).

Don't know anything about them, but may be a bargain...

"im getting a macro hack this week for it

Excuse the question but what does this mean
to a non techie person?

mobile04 · 31-12-2004 10:58am

it means normaly when you try copy a dvd say a genuine release like say somthing you rented out or bought in hmv etc etc
theres a signal in it called mhk divert . or macro it gives the input device ie... the recorder a pulse signal and distorts the vision of the film. ie colour bleeds and sounds goes up and down etc . basicly does not allow you to copy.
the hack im talking about is a factory code that will allow the user to reset the main master setting in the machine to knock this off. so any vhs player or dvd player you hook up to the recorder
you will be able to get a perfect copy from.
also avmedia informed me off boards .
you can record in american format to a blank dvd now thats clever
because if you send a movie on vhs or dvd r etc to the states
they will playback in black and white
this has a duel system
pal ie for europe and ntsc for america

hope this helps mate

Well explained mate Tx.

wow dvd recorder for 200 yoyo's. They've really come down. What are they like for recording? I mean when I record a movie it takes about 25/30mins on my pc dvd recorder (Pioneer106). What are they like recording off live Tv? I presume you always use Dvd-RW media?

okidoki987 · 31-12-2004 11:28am

Looks like it records in +R or +Rw.

mobile04 · 31-12-2004 11:28am

aint got any problems
ive a pioneer 108 flashed firmware model cant get anything out there better than that pc wise .
but this yamada rocks its actualy good to my surprise .
as i said before above i got a pioneer i got in france a year ago 500 + euro and this beats it hands down i use rytek dvd - media
but if im recording stuff her the enemy ie the wife to watch,
ill use dvd rw sony
ohh yeah check this 5 pack 14 euro dixons in large dvd box not spindle..

ive done every test i can think of on this machine and its all good bhoys

now to top of my xmas
liverpool stuff chelsea tomorrow and im sorted............

I'm not so sure if I'll get this one or not, this is a review from Amazon:

"Poor instructions, very noisey unit, terrible remote design (I mean so bad that trying to find Play was an ordeal), unit very slow (to the point where I thought it had crashed), crashed a lot (both units), had two units neither of which recorded sound, found out there needed to be a firmware update, company didn't answer phone, didn't answer emails, wasted a month on trying to sort it out, got rid of it."

well anto i cant talk for any one but myself
i got one avmedia got one and a mate of mine got one and were happy.
but i was in the same boat but for 200 euro i would of bought a decent dvd player ir new sony or somthing like that i took a chance and won i guess/

ando · 31-12-2004 12:44pm

good advice lads, its only 1 review on amazon so it may be inaccurate or the dude may be used to very high quality recorders or whatever

MarkR · 02-01-2005 10:58pm

I've been seriously tempted by these all right. Bin the video and move the current Ronin (also from dunnes) up to the bedroom.

mad m · 03-01-2005 3:51am

Seen in paper today cant remember at moment what place was selling these Dvd recorders but a matsui model for 179euro i think it was dixons or the like.....Are these any good? it says Dvd r+ and Dvdrw+ it plays

darkmaster2 · 03-01-2005 3:34pm

Do these record in dvd-r too? I ask that because Dunnes were selling memorex DVD-R along with the recorder..

Snake Plisken · 03-01-2005 4:04pm

I seriously doubt that this will play Xvid or DIVX discs did a search on google and did not find one review that said it does.

Amazingly Dunnes in the Pavillions have a few of these left. Was thinking of getting one at the weekend.

Has anyone got one? If so how does it perform? How many scarts does it have? and will it play multi region disks?
