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.
2
Open the DVD player's main drive, also commonly called the
DVD "tray." The region cannot be changed while a DVD is in the machine,
so many DVD players require the tray to be open as an extra precaution.
4
Use the remote to select the "Region" option as indicated on your TV screen.
5
Select "Region 9" to change the system to multiregion
formatting. Regions 1 through 8 represent specific geographic locations
and will not allow multiregion playback.
The PET702 will be a region 5 machine, whereas the UK DVDs are region 2.
DVD players from a particular region are designed to play only DVDs from the same region, due to copyright and distribution rights in each country or region.
However the PET702 can have the region protection removed by making it multi-region:
Switch on the PET702 and Open the tray. Press SETUP button on the remote control, which will bring up the menu.
The screen will show: "Region Code: 2" Press [1-6] to manually set the region OR [0] for multi-region.
Press [SETUP] to exit
You will now be able to play DVDs from anywhere in the world.
This is particularly useful, because region 1 DVDs from the US often come out when the movies are still in the cinemas over here. Region 1 DVDs can be bought perfectly legally by mail order or from the internet.
You might not have the multi-region version of this dvd player, they do make them, but cost more. You might have the regular version. Someone posted the instructions on Amazon to make it region free.
To make it region code free follow these instruction:
1. Turn on the unit
2. Open the loading tray
3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key
6. Press the down arrow once to enter the Preference page
5. Enter 138931 on the remote
6. You will now see the current region code displayed
7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions
8. Press the "Play" button on the remote
