Dvd region code lock out




By yankee5 on Aug 28, 2009

" "
Purchased dvd on Amazon.com (U.S) which is region 1 coded. Unable to play them on my Pioneer DV-310 dvd player in Australia which is region 4. Any help in unlocking dvd player or enabling discs would be very much appreciated.

- There is no "Info" button on the supplied remote control, no other button when pressed singly bought up any number/s on screen. "Home Menu" button brings up settings option but was not able to enable multi region option through this.

Search for file YJA8703A almost in the bottom under DV-310.
Download and burn on CD with nero,make sure the CD is being closed after burning.
The just mount the CD in your DVD player and press play.
#1. Press upgrade.
#2. Wait,don´t touch anything now.
#3. The tray will open after about 5-10 sec,take out CD.
#4. Player will uppgrade under about 1-2 minut,then the tray will close by it self,and the player says "CLEAR".
#5.And now here is the secret. When player says "CLEAR" ,push and HOLD the"enter button on THE PLAYER until it turns off(about 5 sec).
And there you go,standing infront of your brand new Multi regional Pioneer DV-310.

  1. Power on
  2. Open tray
  3. Push the info on remote once (with supplied remote) You will see numbers.
  4. Press 9 for multi-region. keep trying until you see the number 9 appear in upper left corner
  5. Power off
  6. Power on
This is a multi region opening process that enables you to get your DVD to run in any region. Chek this for your problem.
