United DVX6069

I had made a quite big collection of sci-fi episodes in various MPEG-4 formats, so I was seeking an easier way to watch them than noisy PC with TV-Out. I was hoping that I could find a DivX player with karaoke functions (both supported by MTK chipset), but there was either DivX or karaoke models available in my town. I already had a karaoke enabled player, so I spend 89 Euros to United DVX6069 knowing that there was enchanced firmwares floating around the Net. Dangaard (FIN) offered official firmawares and region free instructions.

First look

	The Box Comes with handle and audio/composite RCA-cables.
	The Remote Batteries are loose and it has huge amount of same shaped buttons. Slow Motion button seems to be MIA.
	The Tray Disc tray is cool transparent, but guite flimsy. Maybe a LED-mod should be done ...
	The Back Almost all you need. A second SCART would be nice, but it is not expectable at this price range.
	The (Hack) Menu Same MT1379 Type 2 Menu as in Fintec, but with much less features. My player was region free out of the box, but in case of RCE protection: Remove any disc (open disc tray) Press SETUP Navigate to PREFERENCE PAGE (3 times '>') Enter 1,3,7,9 Press desired region number (0-6) Press SETUP to exit
