    Regions Hack

    Hi,

    I have a Tevion DVD recorder (think the model is RL-R6) that only plays region 2 dvd's.
    Does anyone know a hack for region 1, or if not, does anyone know an affordable, good multiregion DVD player?
    I have too many DVD's from the US to replace with region 2's.... please help me? <begs>

    Thanks!

    I usually go here - can't see that model listed though.

    Of course you could get this one for £30 - multiregion hack in review.

    Amazon DVD players usually either come multi-region or they have info on how to 'fix' them.

    try

    Turn Player On
    Open Disk Tray (Leave Open)
    Using Remote Control Press 9 7 3 6
    Select Region Required 0 (Zero) is Region Free
    Close Disk Tray


    I too have hundreds of region 1 DVDs but I made sure to buy a region free out of the box DVD player in the first instance. (Panasonic and not cheep.. )

    Addendum

    Most region protected DVD players.. if they can be region hacked go by the form as specified above.. open tray, type in 4 digit number, select region, reboot.

    If the above code doesn't work .. there's only 10,000 numbers to try

    Some (few) DVD players are hardware hackable. They sometimes have a little jumper switch on the motherboard.

    Some (fewer still) are totally fixed. Nothing you can do to make a region 2 into a region 1 other then unsoldering the region protection chips and soldering in some new ones. Luckily these types tend to be rare these days.

    Re: Regions Hack

    Thanks guys.
    Looks like I need to buy a new one, since non of the hacks I try will work.
    30 pounds isn't going the break the budget (Mom!!!!!!), it just sucks having to do it since I have a region 2 one
    Thanks for your help!

    In Norway they actually change the regions for you in the store, though I'm not sure how legal that is :p
