I assume you've tried this :

For a UK Region 2 Samsung DVD-R149:

1. Press the Menu button on your remote control
2. Press the 5 button on your remote control
3. Press the 7 button on your remote control
4. Press the 5 button on your remote control
5. Press the 3 button on your remote control
6. Press the 8 button on your remote control
7. The currently selected region will be indicated on the onscreen display
8. Press the 1 button on your remote control for region 1, the 2 button for region 2, and so on, or the 9 button for multi-region playback
9. Press the Menu button on your remote control
10. Press the Menu button on your remote control

Has anyone found an unlock code for this model?

I've searched the net but can find nothing, even on AVforums, have tried the hacks for various other Targa models but haven't found one to work yet, can anyone help?

I am in the same boat and I need the default OP setting for this model or a reset function if one exists. Thanks for any help.

The Targa DRH-5600x is a rebadged LG RH278H (or similar) - it's identical to the one in Curry's ad in todays paper.

So to region free (and it worked - be careful when scrolling through Opcodes) :

You need to go into the service menu and change the value below.

Set OP6 from af to 8f.

HOW TO ACCESS TO SERVICE-MENU
1) turn ON the recorder without disc in the loader.
2) Press and hold together the up and down arrows on the recorder (not the remote) for about 6 seconds, otherwise press both CLEAR button on the remote control and down arrow on the recorder for the same time.
3) Use the left & right buttons on the remote to move through the OP codes, up & down buttons to change the codes, press enter to save the changes, then menu/list button to exit. The recorder will switch off.

Would anyone be able to provide the default OPcodes for this unit so that I can try to salvage what I have done? Many thanks

Just purchased the Panasonic BDP-60 Blu Ray ... planning to makie it multi-region with my Harmony 885 ... according to AV Forums there is a hack ...and I'm guessing they have a special remote build on the Logitech server for the purpose as you have to send a PM to the person who has it and login/logout then post an all clear once you have done it ...

Strange way to do things ... but hopefully it will work ... many of my DVD's are region 1 ... and I get to the States reguarly ...


Out of interest - has anyone tried this solution? ... or better still is there a simpler way to do it?

Hi all, just came across this thread. Does anybody know how to make these dvd's region free:

DK Digital DVD 270
Toshiba SD 470EKE

Also, if I enter Region 1 (USA) will it play this region only or still play my European DVD's or do I have to enter Region 0?

Any help would be very appreciated. Its very confusing

I got a Samsung BD-C5300 yesterday and this region unlock worked for me.

Persevere though, it can be a bit ricky to get it sorted as it seems to be a bit time sensitive in the steps.

LD

1) turn ON the player WITHOUT any disc inserted
2) when in the upper left corner of the TV appear the
message NO DISC, you must be press REPEAT 5 7 5 3 8
3) after this, in the upper left corner of the TV will be
appear the regional code 2
4) press 9, wait several seconds and then turn OFF the
player.

Now the Samsung player is REGION FREE also for DVD.

Guys, I found an interesting article yesterday about Blu-ray region code hacking that summarizes 4 different ways of "cheating the system" and after seeing this thread today I think it will be helpful if I post these links here.

Looks like you need a one for all remote to do the unlock
