RE: ROWA 280 DVD HACK EXISTS... BUT HOW DO YOU DO IT?

Try using the `setup` key instead of the non-existent zoom key. I did and I got a `factory ...` message that flashed up very briefly at the end of the sequence. It hasn`t affected the ability to play region 2 and I will try out a region 1 tomorrow as soon as I can borrow one! Plays mp3s fabulously even off a CDRW. Best of all mine was given to me!!

Update - using the `setup` key instead of the `zoom` does work!! There are actually 2 alternative remote controls supplied for the `remote hackable` version - bizarrely I had 2 sets of instruction for mine, one of which shows the remote without the `zoom` button and the other of which is the one with a full set of keys.

I have the one without the zoom (it`s marked as the `setup` button on mine) but if you take the top of the remote, all the missing connections are there, and can be operated by pressing the rubber pad at the right point beneath. I`m either going to drill a few holes in the lid, or I`ll teach the `missing` commands to a learning remote as an alternative.

So the one without the `zoom` is hackable!!
