Requires resonable soldering expertise. The modification is done entirely at your own risk. The modification will invalidates any pre-existing warranty on your DVD player. No problems with Region 1 discs or with that nasty Macrovision protection. Now I can even tape from my DVD's and because I can now route through my VCR, no mucking about swooping scart leads around.
Features are very good and sound is also excellent.
I can certainly recommend this player to any one wanting to get their first player for a very reasonable price. Techtronics' own VCR mode is very helpful to me because of the way I am limited in connections to my monitor and is a godsend. The payer is very good picture is outstanding and overall I think it is Excellent.
