Page 1 of Philips Macrovision disable cable

Has anyone actually tried to make the necessary lead to reset the NVram on a Phillips DVD in service mode? I`ve got all the info to build and hook up but have no instructions what do do after reset. What is the original P-code of a 710?

I`ve built and used the lead you`re on about.

The idea is that you leave it with no P-Code. You will lose SVCD support (if you had it in the first place), but thats it.

The documentation says to use the original p-code.

If I put in no p-code can I then use the one for all RC6 code to multiregion it and SVCD it up again? I followed advice from elsewhere (http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayershack.php?select=Philips%20DVD%20710) to use a code to svcd it up. It was then region 1 so I oneforall coded it back to multiregion. I`d like all of the above plus macrovision disabled. I`ve got a macromaster cable but i`d like to eliminate that and use a basic scart.

Also where did you get the RS232 connector. I can`t find an old mouse that has 6 pin out. They all seem to be 4 pins.
