I am very disappointed by this machine. It is said All Regions, but is not, and can't find any keys to unlock it. False advertising.

You can't if you are referring to Blu Ray. Oppo standard DVD players can be hacked to be region free but I am not sure that the LG can be hacked even for standard DVDs

I'm not sure if the codes are region locked. I would contact amazon support.

Yes, it does, easily. Mine came today and I used this hack: 1.Switch on the DVD player without a DVD 2.Open the disc cover and keep open. The screen should say "OPEN" 3.Digit 1379 on the remote control. Do this step quickly so all four asterisks appear in a row right under the word "OPEN". There should be four. If you go too slowly, some will disappear and then you have to shut the machine off and restart. 4.Once the **** disappears, type "0" for all region. 5.The system will show you a message about region free dvd. 6.Enjoy!

Bishop,Have you check dvdhelp.com under "dvd hacks" for the region free hack of this player? I did that for my Philips dvp5982 which require using your remote control to bring out the hidden menu of the player to reset the region code to "0". After that you can play all dvds without the region restriction.

Jason:Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

If you buy any Sony blu-ray player in the U.S. it will be Region locked - for blu-ray Region A, and for DVD region 1. You can unlock the DVD to play DVD's from other regions, BUT it is pointless with a US player as Sony have NOT include a PAL decoder in any Sony blu-ray player for sale in the U.S. market. An easy way out of the problem, is to buy a region free DVD player (look on ebay) and be satisfied with region A locked blu-ray player - as you can still play blu-ray discs from Europe/UK, if the blu-ray discs themselves are Region Free, (eg. Zulu blu-ray, available amazon.co.uk UK! A lot of blu-ray discs are region free - just check before you buy, Google is your friend...

Got this from VDO Help but not verify yet:- Turn On the unit with the remote controller Wait until "no disc" appears in the unit's display Press Pause, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9 The word "CODE" should appear in the display Within five seconds, press the key that corresponds to the zone you want i.e. 0 for region free, 1 for region 1, 2 for region 2 and so on Again, within 5 seconds, press Pause and Power Please post your result whether this really work.

Type in 99990 with the DVD tray out and you can set the region to 0 (Or 2-7) 1 is defaulted to America

You do not. However, there are several DVDs made for the US that this player will not play (seemed like about 30%-40% the movies I rented/owned would not play.

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!

I found this and heard it works, but haven't tried it myself to verify, and you have to push the buttons very fast apparently: Switch the player on Open the tray door Press Setup on the remote control Select Audio Press RIGHT ARROW Press 2,1,2,2,2,5 Press LEFT ARROW Press DOWN ARROW Press 0 when the screen displays region code Press Setup to exit

I checked the manual'a guide and I didn't see anything regarding DVD regional coding. However, most electronics/ DVD players (including ASUS) are set usually to 1 (USA and Canada) region and CAN be changed but mind you only a limited amount of times (up to 4 times I believe).

I don't know. I have only used Region 1. I believe the software handles this, like regular DVD's.

"what hack code is that for?"The DVD player in whose forum you are posting (Philips DVP 5990)."it can't work on all dvd players? "Obviously not. Different manufacturers have different codes. Some can't be hacked at all.

Sony does make a model of the DVP-FX930 which is code free, available from220-electronics.com and samstores.com, but for about twice as much. BTW, the Pioneer DV-220V is a great code free, single disc DVD player, but isn't portable....

I have not had the need to change regions, since it appears to be region-free...so I don't really know. The only time it won't work is if the disc requires specific region verification.
