RE: LG DVD 5253 - VCD HACK!!! posted by David James on Monday, 7th October 2002, 21:22 I recently bought a 5253. Used the burning to CDR region free hack.. wish work fine. And used the following to get it to play VCD not tried SVCD yet. But VCD 1.0 and 2.0 works! 1. Power on the player with no disc in the drive. 2. Press Pause on the remote control. 3. Using the remote control, key in the following: 1, 4, 7, 2 (the characters 01 47 should appear on the display) [If your player is a non UK model, this number will probably be different - don't worry] 4. Press the UP arrow three times (the characters 04 Fd should appear on the display) [This number may be different depending on the configuration of your specific model - don't worry] 5. Press Program, 6, Program, 5 (the characters 04 FE should now be displayed). 6. Press Enter (the display should flash briefly). 7. Press Return. 8. Power the player off and then back on. 9. Play a VCD! Click here to reply to this message

RE: LG DVD 5253 - VCD HACK!!! posted by Nikon on Sunday, 29th December 2002, 03:25 The idiot who posted the VCD hack omited the warning that goes with the hack which says that it only works on specific models of LG players and must be followed exactly or it will trash your machine. Have a look round this site it closed a while ago but the forums are still active and you might be able to get some help. http://members.lycos.co.uk/ittroll/ Steve..

RE: LG DVD 5253 - VCD HACK!!! posted by leewest on Sunday, 27th April 2003, 15:07 What you need to do is follow the above steps but press program 6 twice and program 5 twice so that it does read 4 fe to undo this feature follow the steps trough again but instead of using 6 and 5 use 4 and 3 and you should be able to get it back to reading DC (if that's what it originally said Click here to reply to this message
