1. Ensure that there is no disk in the tray.

2. Switch the player off and then back on. This is necessary to clean-boot the
firmware.

3. Wait until the main menu page appears and the player stops doing
anything.

4. Press the eject button to open the tray. (The button is between the "Power"
and "TV Power" buttons at the top of the controller.)

5. Press the eject button to close the tray.

6. Wait while the player searches for a disk.

7. As soon as the "No Disk" message appears at the top left corner do the
following.

8. Press the REPEAT button - just above the TV channel selector at the bottom
right of the controller.

9. Enter 76884 on the number pad.

10. The region code "4" should appear at the top left corner of the
screen.(this just flashed on then off, so keep an eye on the screen)

11. Enter a "9" to make the player region free.

12. Power down and power up again.

13. Play a foreign DVD to verify the change.

Unlock region code for Samsung bd-f5500

The copyright protection seems to be embedded in the firmware and is tied into the whole system. I added a fan to my BD-E5900 and the extra draw of power on the board caused the copyright protection to not allow Blurays to play.

Region free samsung bd f5700

Try the official Samsung support site. There are software upgrades available, as well as manuals, etc.:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/BD-F5700/ZA

Howver, the F5700 is "officially" only a Region 1 player. If you bought it from an odd seller that advertised it otherwise, they either lied to you or have attempted to hack the player themselves (possibly illegally).

SOME manufacturers allow a ONE-time region change (legally).

Other suggestions from FixYa users on changing Region:

or general suggestions on changing the region on players:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5091093_change-region-dvd-player.html

I do not condone any of the above methods, whether they are legal or not. Most Blu-Ray discs are already region-free, and I don't hack my electronics.

How unlock Samsung BD-E5900

If you wantto play DVDs from any region you maybe able to upgrade the firmware to make itregion free BUT if you make a mistake or installed the wrong firmware theplayer will be a piece of junk.
The best solution to make the player region free is to install a piece ofsoftware (Passkey for DVD) that allows you to play DVDs from any region andPasskey for Blu-ray that allows you to play Blu-rays from any region. There areseveral available on the Internet but my favourite is DVD-Region Free From: -
