... Here's another link ... this one gives you a macrovision hack and a 3 hour recording hack also ...

... How do you like your 5001? I have a 5005 and it is a really great recorder ...

If your not confortable with using a hack the macrovision remove and region free or any region you prefer is there already. Just select main menu go down to highlight exit press #s 2,9,6,0 and enter there is hidden menu to select region. With region free selected macrovision and I guess css also is removed. I dont have the 5001 but did buy the cheep ilo from walmart which seems to be the liteon just rebadged. I tested it by choosing region free and doing dvd to dvd for testing purposes with lion king and recordes like a charm.

... Step 3 of the link I provided will tell you that ... after you get to the hidden menu, it also suggests that you select "0" ... this makes your unit "region free" ...

Yep. I didnt look in your link till after.
That 3 hour record time looks promising. I may try it to see if it can be implemented into the ilo myself. To record a show that is 2 1/2 hours long would make better quality with 3 hour selection then 4.

whompus, I went to the secret screen, selected region free, but when I go to record, it still does not record and says copy protected media or something like that. Any suggestion? Im new at this, also if I have to install a hacked firmware, how exactly do I do this, as far as recording it to cd-rw and stuff, is there any place I can find some step by step instructions for a newbie that has very limited reading time.

... I'm not sure exactly how to accomplish the hacks on the LVW-5001 ... My recommendation is to go to this forum ...
http://forum.liteonit.com.tw/
... If they can't help you there, you won't find any LiteOn help ... period ...
