Question:
First of all, Hi all
Ok I bought an Aiwa XD-DV480 about 3 months ago from Richer Sounds.
They did the Multi Region upgrade in shop and it works great playing region 1 and the rest.
The problem is that not being completely up with the buffs when it comes to the know how of home entertainment I was unaware of the dreaded "Regional Coding Enhancement".
Now I want to purchase the Region 1 Spiderman and guess what, as most you are probabbly aware it's got RCE.
My question's are these,
1: does anyone else out there own the same model Aiwa with multi region set and knows whether it will play RCE.
2: does anyone know where I might find out without having to spend money on a RCE DVD just to see if it will work or not.
Hope someone can help,
Please please please, someone must have one of these or at least have a clue:(
All I can tell you is that mine has played everything I have thrown at it.
Don't know what has RCE or not. Give me a list of older films that have it and I will tell you if they work, ok? (assuming I have them)
Update:
Did a search for RCE disks, aparently BHD r1 had it and that played fine on my player.
Does this help?
Thanks for replying, I was beginning to give up hope :)
Anyway here is DVDtalk (http://www.dvdtalk.com/rce.html) and dvdmalaysia (http://dvdmalaysia.topcities.com/articles/rce/regional_coding_enhancement3.htm) they both have a list of known RCE titles, hope this helps.
Admittedly the list is not that big considering RCE has been around for about a year or so but all the same it is an annoyance.
EDIT:
Posted after your update.
Is that Black Hawk Down you are refering to as according to a couple of sites I went to it say does not have RCE,http://*********.isys.ca/specsheets/black_hawk_down.shtml
I have posted this question on five different DVD hardware forums and no one seems to know :brickwall ,in fact lbphillips you are the only one to have replied at all :thumbs:.
After further searching I found this which is the closest thing to a confirmation (http://www.kucno-kino.com/modifikacije.asp) although I am still not fully convinced.
Judging by the list, there cannot be that many players that will not play RCE (as long as they're multi-regional of course). Is this because RCE is not as recent as I'd first thought. I was under the impression it came into being last year but it seems that it has been around since 2000 maybe earlier.
*sigh*
Well lbphillips it seems that it is indeed rce compatible.
