DAEWOO DVD-5800
This page explains how to make the Daewoo DVD-5800 regionfree, RCE-immune, and Macrovision-free. It also explains how to add a PAL output option. You would want to make your player region-free so that you can play DVDs bought from anywhere in the world -- not just those in your "region". "RCE immune" means that the firmware will play "RCE" DVD's even though the firmware is region-free. You would want to make your player Macrovision-free if you have to hook it up through a VCR (or a projector) and the picture constantly fades in and out. This upgrade gets rid of the fading. You would want to add the PAL output option so that you can connect the player to a PAL-system TV. If you just need to switch the region setting of the player, this can be done with the remote control. See SECTION 1 below. However, if you would like to disable Macrovision and/or you would like to gain the PAL output option, you will need to upgrade the player's firmware via CD-R or CD-RW.

SECTION 2: Upgrading the firmware to disable Macrovision and to gain a "PAL" option in the TV TYPE sub-menu
(NOTE: You can still change the region with the remote, as described in Section 1 above, even if you upgrade the firmware to disable Macrovision/UOP & gain the PAL option.)

The VFD (front display) will display "LOAD" for the duration of the upgrade. DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE DISC TRAY HAS AUTOMATICALLY EJECTED. Once the upgrade is complete, the disc tray will automatically eject. Remove the disc. The VFD will either continue to display "LOAD", or it will show a bunch of symbols and "garbage" characters, or it will go entirely blank.

In addition, there is now a PAL option in the TV TYPE sub-menu (located under the main VIDEO menu). This option is necessary if you want to connect the DVD-5800 to a PAL-system TV.
ALTERNATE FIRMWARE
A player which is very similar to the Daewoo DVD-5800 is the Grundig 133S. This model is sold only in parts of South America. However, its firmware is 100% compatible with the Daewoo DVD-5800. There are both original and patched versions of this firmware available. The patched version has

the same modifications as the patched DVD-5800 firmware, but it goes a step further by disabling UOP. By disabling UOP, it is possible to skip past the screens at the beginning of a DVD, by pushing the NEXT >>| button on the remote control or front panel. The firmware also contains three different types of PAL output options (in addition to the NTSC option): PAL_M PAL_N PAL This is useful if you plan to use the DVD-5800 in a country that uses the PAL_M or PAL_N system, as opposed to the standard PAL (or NTSC) system. Note, however, that the Grundig firmware does NOT contain the MULTI option, which is desirable if you want to connect the player to a multi-system TV. IMPORTANT: The Grundig 133S firmware defaults to the PAL_N system. This means that if you have a NTSC TV, and you load this firmware, your picture will be black and white (and possibly scrolling vertically) after the upgrade is complete. In addition, the default on-screen display language will be Spanish. To change the output to NTSC, push the following buttons on the remote control: SETUP

However, the only known advantage of the 5700 firmware is that steps 15 through 19 (in Section 2) can be skipped. If you are interested in loading either of these firmwares on the DVD-5800, go back to the main page and look for links to the the pages dedicated to these players.

Want to add a cooling fan to your ESS processor to keep it cool? Click HERE for the circuit and pictures. This circuit uses the 12V power to run the fan but is switched on and off by the 5V power signal inside the player and draws only 150mA so will not add any undue loading strain to the power supply. Please Note! I do not own this DVD player. All care taken in accurately providing this information which is kindly provided by others who do own these models. Please visit the sites linked above if you require any assistance. ALSO NOTE I AM NOT A FIRMWARE PROGRAMMER!!! So please don't ask me when other features will be available...
