Digital Output
The Raite 715 is factory set to
digital off. If you are using the spdif or optical outputs , In the
setup menu select digital on, Digital output RAW. This will feed the
Dolby digital signal to your amp. General reports find using the
spdif better and the cable is included
Is Multiregion Legal ??
Our understanding is that this
is completely legal. The separate regions are to allow the movie
studios to release movies at different times around the world. If
you have purchased the DVD movie legally anywhere in the world
it is completely legal for you to play it on your machine.( Subject
to censorship laws of course) The system basically lets the
studios rip off people in different regions by charging different
prices in different regions and offsetting release dates. TOTAL SCAM
BY HOLLYWOOD
Is
Disabling Macrovision Legal??
Macrovision stops you from
copying DVD movies onto you VCR. This is totally
illegal unless you are the holder of
the copyright of the DVD . When you rent a movie you are granted
permission to watch it only and only for the period of the
rental. When you buy a movie your rights still only allow you
to watch it. You are not allowed to disable macrovison to record the
movie. If you disable Macrovision in order to plug your
your DVD player into a TV without AV jacks via your VCR ,
Macrovision says this is illegal and they say you should not do it
but should spend $ 30 at Radio Shack for a demodulator or buy a new
TV. Well nice of them to spend your money for you. They did 50
Million in revenue last year ,maybe ask them to buy you a new TV (
yeah right) In defense of the studios, movies cost big bucks to make
and they are a business ,not a charity and what the hell, who wants
to watch a dvd movie on a old 20 inch anyways. Mitsubishi has
a great 80 inch for 10k
Does 3H Void my warranty??
The 3H upgrade is a European firmware
and contains "options "not approved for
American markets. Due to licensing issues installing 3H will void
your warranty. It is highly recommended that you run your machine
for a period to check for any defects prior to upgrading.
I read 3H can fry my machine
Some people have fried the units
using hacked 3H, They have changed the firmware to install a
different screen save picture on the screen or not followed the
procedures. ie saved a dollar by using a CDRW or didn't close the
disc. The firmware we provide was developed by the Manufacturer
specifically for use in Europe on this machine. . It will not fry
your machine unless you power down during the upgrade . Of the
hundreds of upgrades our customers have done, not one has had a
problem. Please follow the tips below. DO NOT MODIFY THE
FIRMWARE.. Changing the picture may seem like a great idea,
but you are changing the firmware and can result in a failed upgrade
which will require a new Eprom ( 25 including shipping)
UPGRADE
TIPS
If you wish to do the 3H upgrade to
obtain Multiregion capability or Eliminate problems with your
3E firmware please follow these few simple tips.
Do not use a cheap CDR
disc. I use Maxcell discs ( gold label) and have
never had a problem. DO NOT USE A CDRW for the upgrade.
Be sure to close the disc after recording.
I recommend the Adaptec image file
listed on this site.
I have had no problems with this at all, but note the other
files also work if you don't have Adaptec. BE SURE TO UNZIP THEM..
Also follow instructions to the letter. If you power the unit down
during the upgrade, you will have to replace the Eprom chip ( 25
dollars including shipping from pixie)
RECORD DISC AT 1X speed
If you follow these simple tips you should have no problems at all
upgrading. If you are nervous or don't have access to a CD Writer we
can provide a disc and instructions for 9.99 ( 20 us if you
didn't buy the machine from us)
41L firmware....NOT RECOMMENDED
...POSSIBLE DOORSTOP MAKER ..3H made by Raite, 41L made by
German Hackers, who would you trust, especially now that chips are
no longer available
3E Stuttering: 202H Bios upgrade
2.0
If you have a older 3E machine and
have upgraded to 3H but still see occasional studdering you may wish
to upgrade the DVD drive BIOS to 2.0 This is a simple process
which simply involves removing the drive from the Raite and plugging
it into your computer just like a CDROM drive and running the
upgrade. If you aren't comfortable doing this, any computer shop can
do it for you. You can download the file and instructions
here.
NOTE: opening the cover will void the warranty and UNPLUG THE
MACHINE BEFORE OPENING COVER, EVEN WITH THE POWER OFF THE
RAITE HAS LIVE POWER INSIDE
UNIVERSAL REMOTE CODE
The universal remote code for the
Raite 715 is reported to be TV/OO27 I haven't tried this
so if you do and it works please inform me at admin@netbored.com
How do I record a MP3 Disc
Please read the following instruction page, Hope
it helps

HEAT PROBLEMS
There is rumors of a heat problem on
this machine. I have not seen this and have never received a
complaint from any of my customers in regards to this. But please
note. The Raite 715 has holes in the bottom but none on top or back
so it is possible that if placed on top of a amp it may collect
residual heat from the amp. Please consider this when installing
your unit.
