Can a samsung tv be reprogrammed for a different region?

We are moving to another country and the tv is for region 1, we are moving to region 3 or 4 (Australia) and do not really have to give up the tv's and buy new ones!!

TWO ISSUES: FIRST USA IS NTSC picture and sound format and Australia is PAL picture and sound format---going to need a special box taking one kind of signal and converting it for the other.

Line voltage is likely to be different---120 ac here and may be 220 there---going to need if that a step down transformer for their voltage down to 120 for the USA set.

Both items are fairly common and you can Google and shop for them on the internet once you know the standard voltage --IF memory serves me correctly it is 220 but our good friend Google should have that info as well.

Seems to be a lot of questions like this here lately.

Best IR universal remote that can enter code in android

Hi,

Please email the Fukuda company to request the relevant app that you need to help you move forward with your remote. I think that is the most efficient thing to do because they might have their own internal app store different from the main iOs and android stores.

How to make region free dvd

Usually a region 1 DVD player will not be able to be a multi region because it needs to be able to convert between pal and NTSC to play on your NTSC TV. Unless the player is a European model then it would be possible!

My samsung TV will only play DVDs in black and white.

ensure the country region on the samsung bluray is set correctly to your country and tv set (NTSC OR PAL) at setup,
menu/system/setup - select country correctly - and this should detect another TV device if correctly connected through HDMI, and start the anyconnect application, if your Tv is another model, it wont. if playing DVD's in black and white it seems you might be located in another region to which you purchased the bluray player and differs from the set. did you buy the Bluray from the same store as the set?....please dont say ebay !

Cannnot play dvd's bought in a different country.

That is because DVDs are set up to play in only one set of countries. North America is Region 1 UK is a different Region. This is to stop piracy and to protect each countries laws on intelectual property rights.

Region code

Theres no way to safely undo the region code....without crushing your firmware. Your safe bet is to go to www.versiontracker.com and under Mac OS, look for VNC. Its free runs well, and forgets regions....see it *** an alternative if you region is locked.


Hope this helped.
