Multimod Installation
General Warning
If we have supplied your player, the upgrade has already been installed by our
engineers and tested prior to dispatch. Please ignore this section.
Please note that if you undertake to do this modification any warranty that may exist
on your player is invalidated.
This modification is done entirely at your own risk. We do NOT accept any liability in
the event of damage to your DVD-player in the process of installation of the chip or in
the usage of the modification.
The Installation of the DVD MultiMod chip is not difficult if you are familiar with a
solder iron and have soldering experience and the correct tools. If not, please do not
try to modify the unit yourself, but instead let an experienced person perform the
modification, or let us modify it for you. If you do damage your board, it can be a very
expensive mistake. Please do not proceed unless you are confident that you are able
to carry this out competently. Our engineers would rather hear from you with regards
to a virgin board that needs upgraded rather then a damaged board that needs repair.
If you would like us to do the upgrade for you, please contact the UK head office
directly on 01778 562920.
