Could not locate this model but this may help:

Power up the Player, press pause;
Type in 314159 on your Remote Control's Keypad;
This should bring up the Region Selection Screen;
Select the Region (1-6) that you wish to view on your Remote Control's Keypad, sit back, and enjoy ;-)

Two important features with this player.

Firstly, in addition to the first hack listed above, instead of choosing a Region 1 through 6, you can choose to set it Region 0, or region free. This means you will not need to change it every time you put in a disc of differing regions.

Also, if your TV is not capable of both NTSC and PAL playback, you can adjust the format of the DVD player signal by flicking the System Select switch on the rear of the player. Without changing this, the region free hacks listed above may not display correctly if you are using an older TV


To enable VCD, it works for this model as other LG players:

1. Power on the player with no disc in the drive.
2. Press Pause on the remote control.
3. Using the remote control, key in the following: 1, 4, 7, 2 (the
characters 01 47 should appear on the display) [If your player is a non UK
model, this number will probably be different - don't worry]
4. Press the UP arrow three times (the characters 04 Fd should appear on the
display)
[This number may be different depending on the configuration of your
specific model - don't worry]
5. Press Program, 6, Program, 5 (the characters 04 FE should now be
displayed).
6. Press Enter (the display should flash briefly).
7. Press Return.
8. Power the player off and then back on.
9. Play a VCD!

How do i unlock my LG BH7520 blue ray dvd player to play multi region or region 2 thank you

With your set on and without disc in the tray:

1. Press PLAY from your remote control
2. Press the following button sequence: 1590 2379 390
3. Press PLAY again

This will release the region verification in your player(region free). However, some DVDs (multi region in particular) will not play, since they require region detection from the player unit.

Hi have just bought a panasonic blu ray player model dmp-bd77 here in australia we have put in a b/ray dvd from the usa that plays perfectly but when we have put in another american dvd(not blu ray a...

Every blu ray or dvd player sold in the world comes as standard unlocked to play any disc from any region. On the fifth play of a disc the DVD or Bluray will become locked to that region. So if you play 5 USA dvd's on the player after the fifth disc has been played only US dvd's will be recognised by the player, Same applies to BLUrays. So if i were you i would be careful about what discs you are putting in the player. Otherwise you will be left with a bluray player that cannot be used in Australia. After that happens the only way to play other region discs would be to get the player unlocked. Another point to add , a blueray player has two lasers one to play bluray and another to play DVD's. Lasers can fail so you could be able to play DVD's but not Bluray or vice versa depending on which laser has failed.

I have up dated a sharp BD HP22 blueray player so it plays new bluerays, but now it doesnt play normal dvds, what can i do. thanks

Check the DVD code written at the back of the player ( 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 ) and see if your disc code matches if not it will not play once you update the firmware. You see many of the players sold in the market have the DVD codes unlocked, but once you update the firmware it automatically goes back to its native region.
