An ultra-rare NUON Enhanced DVD Player (aka JAGUAR 3) for Christmas?

Hi folks,

in late 2001, early 2002 SAMSUNG used Switzerland as a test market for the ARIES3 based N504 NUON Enhanced DVD Player. This is the more developed PAL/Region2/230V version of the much more common N501 NTSC/Region1/110V unit which was sold in the US. The front panel looks like the N501 (having two controller ports), the back panel has SCART (AV), Analog Audio L/R, Video Out, S-Video Out, Digital Audio Out Optical and Digital Audio Out Coaxial.

As I’m Swiss, a JAGUAR/NUON enthusiast since day one and a collector I came across quite a few of those beasts over the last decade. Analysing the serial numbers off all units I’ve seen so far I estimate that only about 1500 units were made and sold. They are ultra-rare!

On my old school JAGUAR/NUON webpage are 3 easter-eggs (hidden links). Two of them show my stockpile of N504 units. Explore even if you can’t read/understand the German. Here’s the link:

I regularly take one of my spares to the E-JAGFEST where we enjoy playing Tempest 3000, Iron Soldier 3, Merlin Racing and other games. This year I was asked by some friends if I could sell my spares. I’ve made my mind and decided that it’s time to let them go. Two are already gone to German JAGUAR community friends. Currently I have two spare units (player, remote control) left. Both are fully functional and in great optical condition. Both units have been codefree enabled and now play both region 2 and 1 DVDs. Here are two pictures of those systems:

I don’t want to list the remaining units in ebay (fees and hassle) but would accept enquiries from community members by PM. Based on the number and type of enquiries I will then make an offer.

Make yourself a present and get one of those ultra-rare gems. Great for both collectors and gamers. Once those are gone it is very unlikely any more coming to surface.
Cheers, Urs

Be careful what you say. I'm a serious JAGUAR/NUON enthusiast and was able to supply N504s to many like minded.

lol, NUON fame. Kind of an oxymoron, don't you think?

Can't tell if this is sarcasm, or if you're just not intelligent enough to talk to.

Sand in the vagine? I'm intelligent enough to support myself as a software engineer, currently contracting for NASA, so I guess that would make it sarcasm.

I'll make this simple - it would seem that I was agreeing with you as far as NUON and fame being an oxymoron. Given that the platform saw between 6 and 8 commercial releases, and nobody outside of this tiny corner of the net even knows what it is, yeah it is not famous.

BTW - who are you and as asked above, what have you done for the community? Just deciding to troll a forum with a few dozen posts a year?

I bought one of QL's nouns, but sadly it didnt survive shipping. Is anyone here in possession of a spare driver for this unit? Ive been looking for a Samsung M-104 or 105 as its the same driver but to no luck. QL has done the same but has yet to find anything as well. This was not a scam but a sad misfortune. I spent quite a lot for the unit, and also just spent $400 on Ironl Soldier 3, so im in quite the desperation mood here....

Dude - that sucks :( I'll do some research - I remember many years ago, talk of a replacement drive for the N501 units. I'll search my archives, old emails, etc. and post back if I find anything.

I know of a replacement drive as i mentioned, and yes the 501 has the same as well according to QL, and ive found a couple of those on ebay and/or amazon, but they are quite expensive and shipping from the us or canada would not be nice...

I wonder why it says it cant read burned disks though...? Still, bid on it if you want to, my first concern is to get the 504 playing original disks.

hum, i dunno, €20? i cant imagine it would reach that high though.. and i wouldnt know how much shipping ontop of that would be. Shipping from germany, to sweden where i live, is usually expensive for some reason. More so than shipping from the UK for example. But please bid and if you win we can work that out in time.

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.

    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
