You need to upgrade the firmware. Google for RPC1 firmware.

This is a general rule and may not work for your make/model

It's a 'Maxim!?', it's one of those really cheap, poor quality ones so i don't mind messing about with it.
I'm gonna buy a new multi region one soon enough, but my brother just came back from the states witha load of dvds and im itching to watch them.

If you're talking about a standalone player for your TV, goto www.videohelp.com then goto DVD hacks on the left hand side. If its a drive for your pc goto www.videolan.org, download that player and it'll play any region disc, and any other video format for that matter.
