AMW V99 DVD Video Player with Remote
Region code hack posted by TR, December 19 2003:
This seems to work for the AMW V99 ($19 in after Thanksgiving sale at Best Buy)
1) turn on the dvd
2) open the tray
3) enter 9735
4) change the region code to 0
5) exit to main menu
6) password 8888
Best $19 I ever spent! (Bestbuy)
Futher confirmation the 9735 hack DOES work. Also gives options to adjust rating (I assume to control the maximum rating of DVDs allowed) and a PASSWORD option, I'm not sure what this is for. I performed the hack with the tray both OPEN and CLOSED.

Dunno if anyone else has tried this, but I put a backup dvd created with DVDXCopy into my V99 after using the region-free hack mentioned above. It asked me to input my password (default is 8888) and then the movie begins playing off the dvd-r. Password is input with the remote, and there's no confirmation. Just banged out 8888 and pressed play. Previously it would just sit there when I put in the disk without asking for password or anything. Neato. So this explains one use for the password function.
AMW S99 / V99
- Turn on the player (disc tray has to be empty)
- Open the disc tray
- Press 9, 7, 3, 5 (or 8, 5, 6, 1)
- Select region (0 = multi-region)
- Close the disc tray
check your bios settings
when i put on any other dvd it works but when i try to put on the movie "across the Universe" it asks me for a password. i went to the setup and there was nothing that had been changed or touched. it asks me for a password that no one in my house had put on???
I have the same problem with "Across the Universe" Never asked for a password before. I tried 3308 and the unit froze.
OMG how weird. We just rented "Across the Universe" & are having the exact same issue. I put in another DVD & it worked fine. Hubby called Blockbuster to ask them what's the dilleo. No answer. Just told us to bring DVD in tomorrow. Will let you know if they have any suggestions.
