macrovison free DVD players?

Randy810 · 07-11-00, 04:39 AM

I am new to this forum, please forgive me if this has been asked before.
I would like a DVD player that can have the macrovison turned off. Is there such a player?
Thanks

There used to be a couple under the brand names of Apex and Raite. De-activating the macrovision could be done through the use of a secret menu. Circuit City sells the Apex, but the machines have all been modified so that the secret menu no longer exists. They were very hot on ebay a couple months back...with any luck, you may still find one. But be warned, the general consensus of the machine was that the audio and video quality was not as good as other machines.
