MBO DVD 916 brand Standalone Player

Hi.
anyone have any info on the MBO 916 DVD player.
is it a repackaged other brand.
also after any region hacks available.
I've looked all thru the forums and links and can't seem to find anything to do with this player, got a feeling its prob some major make but rebranded to sell cheap.
Thanks all for any info

Hi all,

I have also a MBO DVD player but the 940 and I would also like to know if someone can tell me how to make it region free.

Thanks

Well still on the hunt for the info...will ya all know if i find anything )

 

Hi all,

In this german page there is information about the MBO DVD player 940 plus and 921. So I tried with mine and it worked, so maybe the same procedure works with the ones you have.

On the 2 and 3 parts of the list, there are some solutions.

If someone has problems to understand tell me and I will send you a mail with the english tranlation.

 

Thanks for that - will give it a look and c how it goes..... )

hi regarding the mbo dvd player i recieved one as a xmas present,it has gone faulty can anyone tell me where it was stocked in the uk, i believe a large supermarket had them.

 

some larger Safeway stores had them

 

thanks m8, its realy a bucket though eh!

 

Yes m8 - paid £20 sec/hand for mine and that was £15 too much.. Gave it to the kids to use in there bedroom.. ( suppose it might come in handy so wedge the back door open in the summer... or is that an amiga ?? ) hehe

it sure was m8 lol

 

You can change the region code on the 916 by doing the following: 1.switch on without a dvd in the drive. 2. press these keys in this order,quickly. SETUP-NEXT-STOP-STEP-PREV-NEXT.
3.Menu pops up, the rest is common sense.
4.enjoy

 

Cheers for that m8 - will give it try and see how it goes.....

did you manage to sort out your 916?

 

blob: I bought my MBO 916 at Safeway in Wapping, London. Days later they asked if it worked as many had been returned. I'm lucky, mine does work. Ideas for mp3 playing? It should have come with a 2or3 year guarantee.
