I moved in from Europe! My DVD library just went out of use... because of the area coding of my new Samsung BD-P4600 player! I know there is a fix for this problem, but does anyone know it... yet? Man from the old continent

  • olli_friman Jun 05, 2009

    Sorry my player is different model... quite new!

    Front:050

    S/W:BEv1.10.090227_XAA

    Loader: LDv1.08_090224

    Region A/1(BD/DVD)

    Macrovision:BBS51

    Model BD-P4600_XAA



    ... the problem persists :-)

    There is a way to set this area code like in every system (software).

    Question is has it leaked out yet... I woul imagine Samsung would not mind

    since there is no criminal what I am trying to do... quite contrary!

    I will pay for information that leads to solution :-)



    Sincerely,



    Olli

1. Turn on the player
2. Wait for the no disc message
3. Press REPEAT 57538
4. The number 2 displays in the top left corner
5. Press 9 for multiregion.

I tried it on a number of discs including The Patriot R1 which has the RCE coding as well and it plays it.

R3 and R4 play too. This means I won't need my old DVD player now.

I should add it doesn't allow region A blu-rays. No surprise there.
thank you and good luck....

Hi. Making your Samsung DVD Player regionless is a little bit tricky, and it is not guaranteed to work either, since it is not an offiicial process :) You can try this:
The trick seemed to be not holding the repeat key too long. 

For example, if your device is a Region B/4, running 080604.01_050708-1_XSA code. 

Use the R4 code from below. 

1) Turn on the player with no disc in the tray 
Wait till the unit is at the Samsung logo screen. 
2) Open then close the tray, wait to see the No-Disc Message in the top Left Corner 
3) Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a five digit code. 
In this case Repeat 76884 

Now try to get this to work as many times it gets, It needed to be done without delay. 
So if you don’t get it to work straight away don’t loose heart. 

4) When it works a 4 will appear in the top left corner 

5) Press 9 to make it regionless. 
6) Press Eject to OPEN to open the disc tray. 
7) Press Eject to CLOSE to close the disc tray. 

8) Power the unit off 

9) Now power the unit on again, it should now read all regions of DVD Disc. 

This is the list of region codes. 

R1 - 29334 
R2 - 57538 
R3 - 56732 
R4 - 76884 
R5 - 53814 
R6 - 24462 


Hope this helps. Erinc

I have a Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-Ray Disc Player that will not play Blu-Ray discs rented from BlockBusters in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. To Date, of all my 100 regular DVD, and approximately 25 owned Blu-Ray...

BD-P1000 Update Solution
The solution that worked for me: I went to www.samsung.com/ca and downloaded the Samsung BD-P1000 player's firmware update to my desktop. When opened, I was directed to"burn" a DVD on my computer. I then inserted the new DVD in my Blu-Ray player. The player automatically checked and confirmed player model number and registration and uploaded information from the DVD and the update was complete. The BD-P1000 then flawlessly played the rented Blu-Ray disc of "The Scorpion King".
Thank You Samsung!
