Mp3 copy protected

[DjPj]

Hi all...
Just bought myself a new little dvdplayer, Centrum Gemini. Cheap and great in all ways but one... I cant record to my MiniDisc (sharp 831) with it. It mumbles something about copyprotection, but that wasn't an issue on my old player (daewoo dhc2200k).

It wouldnt be much of a problem if it werent for one thing: There isnt any * analog output on the * thing!!

I've tried going through my reciever (sony str-de475), but idiot only outputs to the MD if the source is analog.
So I wonder, does anyone know how to get around this? Cuz I really need some new MD's!

come on, please help!

you need something, which is calle copybit killer.It's plugged between DVD player and MD input.Supports RCA and Optical in/out.
You can control all settings from the board (in your case: ignore copybit)

Thank you very much for answering. What does one of those cost, and where can you get it?
