Norcent DVD Player DP300 is $49.57 at WalMart now!!

This player can play any region DVD. If you can find ser# HE112*******(Q4 2002) or AE111*******(Q3 2002) here is nullHacks. But those are hard to find, most likely you will see HE113******* which is very new (Q1 2003), but you can use same procedure like HE112 to change "Version" to region # of your DVD. I think DP300 is much better than Apex player. Specially at $49.57. & there almost NO bad opinion about it . BTW Amazon ask $59.99 for this one.

The HE112 R/C hacks work on AE111. I set "Region" to "all", I can watch region "3" DVD now. But HE113 & HE112 even I change Region to "0"(ALL) it won't play Region "3" DVD. I had to set it to "3" to watch Region "3" DVD.

Can anybody confirm which serial numbers are available at WalMart?

According to nerd-out.com, it depends on its "internals". There are 4 different versions of DP300. It would be nice to know which one is at Walmart.

You may find all of them at Wal Mart but AE111 (Q3 2002) is like GOLD & very hard to find one. HE112 (Q4 2002) is like HE113. Most likely you will find HE113 which is newer one (Q1 2003). In my local Wal Mart I only saw "1" AE111, "1" HE112 & 30+ HE113. Wal Mart just lower the price this week, it may be just weekly special. Last week it sold for $59.99.

Macrovision
An analog video copy protection scheme that alters the unseen part of a video signal such that a VCR or other macrovision enabled device may not record the video signal properly. There are several types:
- Automatic Gain Control
- 2-line color stripe
- 4-line color stripe

Symptoms of this include picture fading in and out or color banding of the signal.

I have AE model, some can be hacked macrofree, picture quality is much better than most apex models and has better remote. It is my pick for a good all around "play all"

If you can find an He112 Q4 2002, that has the Region Free and Macrovision hack straight form the menu. Plays svcd's too. Good luck.

Just picked up the last Norcent at a local retailer (not Walmart) at $38.88. From the serial number, it appears to be an early HE111.

from the FAQ at nerds.com, it appears that both a firmware and a remote hack is available. Am I correct?
