Hi everybody!
I just noticed on ebay an intriguing offer: a "secret " code able to make any DVD player "region free" in one minute.It seems to be very appealing but...
Any help?

How much are they asking for it ?

Hi!
Very cheap...under $10 starting bid.
Sorry, I did not understand the room size question.

Octavian

I put "how big is your room ?" in my signature because so many people were asking "what kind of speakers should I get ? I have an XYZ CD player..." without providing any information about their rooms.

I think it's time to change my sig. Causing too much confusion, and everyone gives me their room size except the people asking what kind of speakers they should get.

On the other hand, if we ever need a database of listening room sizes I'm sitting on a pretty good collection of data

pizoni,

Don't pay for it. You can find those codes on the interet for free. Many players have a special mode that you can access via a sequence of button presses that will allow you to make region changes, among other things.

If you tell me your DVD player brand and model, I'll see what information I can rustle up for you.

Google is your friend...

This is some info that I found



Region code hack posted by Doktor B., January 13 2004:
Hi - I just tried the hack that was suggested for the Toshiba SD-4900 on my US-bought SD-3900 and IT WORKED PERFECTLY for regions 1 & 2 DVDs!! it's very easy to do (see instructions below): all you need is a CD-R and a CD-burner. I think it was originally designed for the LG 6054, but it works fine on the SD-3900.

(This info is actually taken from the LG 6054 thread elsewhere on this site):

I've got the LG 6054 region free using the LG 6188 hack.

1. Downloaded the file from:
http://mypage.bluewin.ch/a-z/chaos-kitties/downloads/RMTM0000.sit
(the file's 4kb big/small)

2. unpacked the RMTM0000.sit file with "StuffIt Standard Edition 8.0" (http://www.aladdinsys.com/downloads/index.html) Trail version.

3. Burned the whole DIR (RMTM0000) to a CD using Nero Burning ROM (ISO Level 1, Mode 1, ISO 9660)

4. Inserted the burned CD into the dvd, wait for the menu on the LCD of the dvd.

5. Pressed "0" then "PAUSE", turned the dvd OFF

6. That's it !!!, REGION FREE.
