Richard gillingwater Unregistered guest | I'm coming over to the states and am looking to buy an in car dvd player, can't find any info on whether they are region free or region 1, in the uk we are region 2. |

N SEGI Unregistered guest | DURBRAND CAR DVD PLAYER PVS1966 I bought it at WALMART. You can customize region code. Region free: Open the tray Press 8, 1, 3, 2 and 8 The region menu will appear, then press enter until region 9 is selected and press Play The unit will now be multi region. VCD playback: To play VCDs, open the tray, press 0, 0, 0, 1, and press play. |

Anonymous | I just purchased a Durabrand DVD PVS1966 from Walmarts web site. I am a little upset with the sound. I have the volume turned up all the way on both the unit and the monitor and you can barley hear it. ALso the monitor picks up a humming from the car when you excellarate the gas peddle. I'm thinking about returning it. Does anyone else have these same problems? |

kl Unregistered guest | I am writing to confirm that the region free method posted above worked for me, too. I intended to buy the polaroid dvp-0700 at best buy, but it was sold out (although I am not sure if this polaroid unit can do ntsc/pal conversion so I might have had to return it anyway). Superstitiously, I took it as a sign not to buy that player. Instead, I went to walmart and I bought the durabrand pvs1966 this morning. I tested two region 2 discs on it after setting region to "9" by aforementioned method and both played perfectly. At least one of the dvd's was in PAL format and it played perfectly on the lcd screen, so it must have pal ntsc conversion built-in. Also, I unplugged the machine, and turned it back on, it was still region-free. In other words, you don't have to punch in that code every time to make it region free, it will store the setting. So far, I haven't tried to use the second lcd monitor or install it in my car yet. Looking at the lcd attached to the player, the picture looks really good, even from a decent side angle. I have a laptop computer with an lcd monitor, and the picture looks really dark on my computer from a comparable angle. I think this is a pretty good deal, 300 dollars for region free dvd player with two lcd's, carrying case, etc. I am thinking to look for a longer cable to go from the player to the second lcd monitor so it won't have to be in the air between the two seats, instead I can run it along the seats and the flooring from the player to the second lcd. I'm happy. |

Unregistered guest | kl, I just recently bought a pvs1960 and need longer cables as well. Here's where you can purchase them. I just ordered mine so I can't tell you how their service is. Just thought you might like to know. Alco/Durabrand/Venturer Parts Don |

Anonymous | I just received my PVS1966 model. I think it works great. I have alot of movies on Ritek DVD-R and DVD+RW. Plays both of them with no problems. No humming noise from the altenator. Sound is not that loud, but bought a cassette adapter to play through car stereo. No complaints here. TK |
|
PaperScissorsRock Unregistered guest | Does anyone know if I can hook up more than one additional monitor to a single player (i.e., with a "Y" cable). Also, does anyone know if I can buy a spare screen? I'm thinking of buying two of these with the idea of hooking the two extra screens to a single player (thus having three screens showing the same movie in my van). thanks |
|
Unregistered guest | many thanks N SEGI just followed your instructions absulutly briliant works great I also have just visited Florida and bought it in walmart and thought I was locked to region 2 Not any more Thanks Again Frequent Florida Visiter!!!! |
|
Unregistered guest | Thanks for all the useful info. I am about to purchase a 1966 unit. I'm curious does anyone know more about using the cassette adapter to improve the sound quality? |
|

Unregistered guest | Can anyone tell me if they played a DVD-R in the Durabrand DVD player, pvs1960 model? Richard |

Anonymous | >Has anyone tried played DVD-R/RW's or DVD+R/RW's??? I just picked up the PVS1966 and played a DVD-R of a home movie just fine. There was a distinct hiss with audio out of the built-in speakers, but with headphones plugged in it went away. The built-in speakers were loud enough to hear in the house, haven't tried it in the car yet, but will probably just the cassette adapater to listen through the car speakers. |

holidaymaker Unregistered guest | Recently purchased the PVS1960 while on holiday in Florida. Does anyone have the codes to make this model region-free ? I tried the codes for the PVS1966 but it doesn't play region 2 disc ? Still only plays region 1 discs |
|
Anonymous | Does anyone know how to make the pvs1960 model region-free? Apparently, the codes which are used to make the pvs1966 model do not work for the pvs1960 model. |

Philipe Gripp Unregistered guest | The region free and VCD methods for PVS1966 worked for me too... I choose this as the best cost benefice someone can buy, since it costed almost $500,00 to import this item from Walmart (I live in Brazil). PROS: 1. It has two LCD TFT 6.2 screens with good image quality.It also has 16:9 or 4:3 modes. 2. You can watch dvd or play videogames, plug your digital camera on both screens or in just one. 3. The firs screen can work as a portable dvd player pluging on your tv and closing its screen. 4. You can play all the regions and VCD using these codes below. 5. You can also play MP3 and JPG cds on cd-r, cd-rw, dvd-r, dvd-rw....Its amazing... 6. You can turn off the first screen and still watching on the second. 7. You have a infra red remote control. 8. It comes with a rechargeable ION Littion battery. The only complaiments I have is that my unit came with 1 dead pixel on the first monitor and you will have to buy an inversor to power on your videogame (xbox in my case), becase Durabrand PVS1966 doesnt doesn't have a 110v to turn on your console. If you still in doubt to buy one, i can say you with no doubt: BUY !!! If you gave any question before buy thus product, I can try to answer that for you. pgripp@msn.com And remember, this product rox !!! One of the best products I have ever bought.I'm happy... Didn't have the problem mentioned below while pressing the gas pedal...  |

Rulisk8 Unregistered guest | Hello everybody! There is one for the venturer STS75 which uses the same firmware as the Durabrand STS98, but after March of 2004, the firware was changed on both systems, before you could input 4 digits to make it region free, now you have to input 6 numbers.... In all the research i've done, no one has this code yet. I would say it's just a matter of time, there are a lot of smart folks out there probably working on it. Anway, if somebody allready has some news it would be really appreciated. Thanks!! |

Unregistered guest | Hello again! I'm here to say that people who can't make the free region code for PVS1966 work, just press the PLAY button before closing the tray. :P |

Unregistered guest | Chateaurodrigo, you can try to install a radio modulator... I think that's the only way... |

Bill Bailey Unregistered guest | Hello everyone! Does anyone know how to unlock a Durabrand DVD 420 player to make it multi-region? If you would like to tell me how please E'mail to arthurrbailey@gmail.com Thanks |
|
Unregistered guest | Durabrand 900 - Well been looking for ages for an unlock, finally come across one that works. The problem is that Durabrand are the same as Dual players, so this code is an unlock for a Dual 900 - & it worked for me! - press OPEN - press CLEAR - key in 1, followed by 3, then 6, then 9, and finally 0 - press the STANDBY button (the disc tray will shut and the player will switch off) - press the STANDBY button (the player wakes up again) -DVD should now play any region NOTE: Nothing actually appears on screen when you perform this hack, so ensuring it worked can be done by attempting to play a DVD of another region that was previously unable to be played. If it fails, then try entering the code sequence again. You can also set the unit to playback just one specific region if you so choose, by replacing the final "0" with the region number you want e.g. for Region 1 you would enter 13691 Any other brands you need drop me an email |

New member Username: MgoliathPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-06 | I have a DURABRAND PVS 1970 in-car PORTABLE dvd PLAYER - it has two LCD screens. The LCD screens have what appears to be proprietary interfaces for cables called "EZ VIEW CABLE" - they look a bit like S-VIDEO. I would like to use one of the LCD monitors as a stand alone monitor for connection to my satellite decoder which has RCA (RED, WHITE, YELLOW) outputs. I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me either the pin-out specification on the EZ VIEW interface or tell me how i can connect RCA into the LCD panel. Many thanks Mervyn (you can mail me to mgoliath@mweb.co.za) |
