Dansai 1010 for £69.99, plays everything inc vinyl :), (macro/region free)

I mean`t to post this a couple of weeks ago :(

but I bought a Dansai 1010 from Tesco`s Extra for £89.99 which I thought wasn`t bad but they are now £69.99

It plays everything u can throw at it

DVD,DVD-R/RW,DVD+R,MP3,VCD,SVCD,CD etc etc

also region free and macrovision free with some simple hacking

http://dvdplayers.reviewcentre.com/reviews1466.html
some reviews from people who have bought one, only a few disgruntled people but all have posted low scores cos they haven`t enabled VCD/SVCD. That`s all they winge about but its so easy to do and I will email necessary info to people if they buy one and want it, just ask

I went to buy another one for my mother for XMAS and it was reduced to £79.99 but after paying bill which included £30 worth of shopping my total was only £99

They had charged me £69.99 so I was well pleased

I told my mates at work and they also have bought them for £69.99

probably gone by now but then again I don`t know

I bought one 2 weeks ago for £69.99. Phoned Tesco for the update disc to enable VCD playback which came a week later. Then you can disable macrovision as well as bypass the Region codes. For the money, I can hardly fault it, except for not having a display and the Tesco Help screen. For the man (or woman) in the street its a bargain that does everything you could possibly need. Best be quick though, 2 weeks ago they had 20-30 in the Tesco store near me, this week none. Replaced by the new Dansai (950 I think) with the free DVD`s in the box.

Our local Tesco has both the Dansai 1010 and the 950 in stock. Is the 950 able to be made region and macro free?

andychamb, u can actually change the logo to anything u want

with a little bit of editing of the disc contents

Dave the Mouse, you cannot get better for £69.99 for a 1010 I think

is it not a 952 or have they actually brought a new model (950) out?

no macrovision hack or VCD capabilities only region free

get a 1010 you won`t regret it

Might also want to try the Naiko N-2081 from Safeway`s £59.99.


Region free out the box and according to other DVD hacking sites this model is also macro free with a Daewoo player hack, how true this is I dont know?

It`s the new Dansai 955. I got one the other week as a replacement for my 852, very good player, seems to play everything up to now. Easily remote hacked to multi region, but no option to turn off Macrovision but I`m not bothered about that anyway. It`s nice looking that the 852 too. Someone on here said its the same as the Schneider 955 Asda were doing before...it does look the same from pics I`ve seen in the hacks section.

It worked out ok, my 852 stuck at the startup screen and wouldnt eject the drawer, it just seemed to have crashed or something. I took it back to Tesco (had it 11 months) and got a refund and bought the 955 complete with 3 dvd`s for the same price I paid for the 852, and got a new years warranty too.....can`t be bad.

I think the 955 has just been dropped to £89.99 too recently from £99.99. I heard the 1010 was being sold off for £69.99 as it`s an older model now, the 955 being the current one. They do seem to change models quite regular in there.
