I'm so disappointed. Just got DVDs of Undeclared from cdwow. I knew they were American but assumed I'd be able to unlock my DVD. Hitachi DV-PF5E anyone? I've looked everywhere and not found it. So just in case anybody here stumbled across it one day and didn't feel like telling anyone until now. Please!!
Suppose I'll just have to watch at my parent's....

Hi, I'm looking for a hack for a Wharfedale L1911W-C TV/DVD. Really need to unlock to multi-region! Have trawled the net for info but no luck so far. Anyone have any ideas?

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.

Hi there,

Has anyone ever got a code for the branded Moviestar dvd player that was given away last year, as i got help with a post earlier on, i saw this post & thought i'd give it a go & ask if anyone has found a code to make it region-free.

Thanks.

standbyme · 08-02-2008 01:25AM

Has anyone got anywhere with this dvd player & is it possible to get a region-free hack for the moviestar dvd player, as i suppose it wont be available on any site.

Thanks.

If your TV has HDMI input it doesn't make any difference what the standard is, PAL, SECAM, NTSC, PLA-M, PAL-N it will play all BLU-RAY Region a and b discs perfectly in the original quality!

These also play all regular DVD movies from region 1 and 2!

When trying the update I pressed the power button all tho OP codes changed to zero and the characters on the display went ga ga, thought I was in big trouble, powered it back on and it just switched itself off again. I then accessed the service menu again and it re-set itself to the original settings, just posting this in case it happens to anyone else.

Typical my Panasonic SCHT-900 isnt anywhere to be found it must be the hardest to 'unlock' cause i've never been able to find ny codes for it.

Panasonic = Matsu****a , and Matsu****a drives , especially pc drives , are notoriously difficult to make region free , as you will find out with a quick google search.

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum and would be grateful for any help.
I recently bought a Targa dvd recorder in Lidl, model 5700x.
I have looked at all the sites listed but cant seem to find a hack for it,
I wonder has anyone found one,
Thanks,
Ray

LongWayToTipp · 06-08-2008 01:23PM

Anybody got codes for a Walker DVD player?

Thanks in advance

knfa · 04-09-2008 11:17AM

Does anyone have a code for the Philips DVDR 3575h?

Thanks.

Slaphead07 · 07-09-2008 11:35AM

Can the Panasonic DMP-BD30K be made multi-region with the handset or does it need a dealer remote to hack it?

big_moe · 07-09-2008 06:58PM

it can only be made multi region for DVDs, not blu rays yet. it cant be done with just the panny handset. you need a pda with infra red or an One For All handset.

or your local dealer can hook you up!

Hi all, I'm looking to make either of my dvd players region free.

I've got a Bush dvdavr 11xi

31J503JGG7L._SS500_.jpg

Has anyone any successful hacks for either of these ? Much appreciated.

EDIT:

Found them.

This is for the Bush DVD.

Open the DVD tray and ensure in stop mode
Now press Setup, Next, Prev, Next and Prev
On screen you will see VERSION 2
Select 255 for Region Free
Press Setup key to save settings

And for the Phillips....

Power on (display shows no ''disc''.
Press 0086000 then ok.
Power off and back on with remote control

To check what region the player is :

Enter 0009 and press ok

Hi folks,

Does anyone know what's the code for a "Kentek Compact DVD Player"?

Thanks

Can't find a reference to even "Kentek Compact DVD Player", so I'd like if you could double check the name, or get a model number?

New Home · 10-01-2009 08:02PM

I'm afraid that's the problem I had too - the player is definitely a Kentek, but I can't find out anything about it anywhere.

I've just checked the machine just to be sure and I found a model number (K003). On the box it came in there are also a batch number (K003.21.05.07) and a serial number (07:K003-1771). There are no other details anywhere else.

If it helps, I bought it in Supervalu.

Thanks.

Red Sleeping Beauty · 28-01-2009 10:35PM

I've only got a few mins on this but I really recommend that AVforums place, lotsa good info there. http://www.avforums.com/

eoinkildare · 06-04-2009 12:02AM

Red Sleeping Beauty · 06-04-2009 01:17AM

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

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?

onedifference · 20-08-2009 06:52PM

cookieman · 01-09-2009 09:15PM

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.

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?

Make your DVD Player multi-regional!
