Region code is common on DVD. What you need is a region-free DVD player, or to remove the region code of the DVD.

Here are some recommendations for region-free DVD player:

1. Panasonic DVD player DVD-S700
Panasonic DVD-S700 is a great ease-to-use DVD player that plays standard and rewriteable DVD discs from all regions 0-8. It is most known for the fast DVD loading speed once you shut the tray and gorgeous image playback up to full HD 1080p due to the support of 1080p upscaling. There are some other great features that will attract you, including the support of video and audio file playback via USB, as well as built in PAL and NTSC video signal switching.

2. LG DP132 DVD player
LG DP132 is perhaps the cheapest region free DVD player from LG among our list but is suitable for most of the DVD playback needs. It is preferred by many foreign language learners since LG DP132 supports multiple language audio and subtitle outputs, with the great compatibility with Dolby Digital audio. Except for the availability of USB 2.0 port for playing audio, video and image files, there is also one unique feature which cannot be found in other region free DVD players - the USB Direct Recording, available for you to rip audio CDs to USB device directly.

3. Samsung DVD-E360 DVD player
Samsung DVD-E360 has won multiple awards for its quality, performance and design. The lightweight DVD player is able to play all region standard DVDs from 0 to 6, along with PAL/NTSC conversion, CD ripping capability and EZ view screen ratio adjustment. You can play PAL/NTSC DVDs in formats of DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW on any TV from any country. It can decipher Dolby Digital data to utilize its dynamic stereo surround with the Dolby Digital Decoder Technology, in such a way you can get the full experience.

Or if you want to remove the region code of DVD, you can use Leawo Blu-ray Copy. It is a software program that can not only back up your DVD disc to another blank disc and ISO file, but also remove the copy protection of your DVD and make it a region-free DVD, so that you can play it on any region-locked DVD player.

When you can't reprogram the region code on the disc or the player, you can use a program called Leawo Blu-ray Copy to make a lossless copy of your Blu-ray disc and remove the Blu-ray region code on it while doing so.

If you know how to access the region code, then I suggest you give it the code for "0" then you will not need to change it again. It should play back all.

    This is not an answer, nor is this solved. The whole point is how to access the region code menu.

    I have had a look around and think and like many players you can not press a few keys anymore to get the region code up. You need what they call a "ICOS modification kit".

SOURCE: How to setup Region code free for DVD LG DV 487

Power on the dvd player without any disc on it.
Press the PAUSE button and then the following numbers
3 1 4 1 5 9
Then you will be asked which region you want to set up.
0 = All regions. 1 = Region 1. 2 = Region 2 etc.
Then press pause again.
Then power off the dvd, and then turn it on.
I just did it with mine that was setup to only reagion 4 and couldn't watch region 1 dvds.. I set it up to = 0 (all).
Hope it helps.

Change region

When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a "Region number." The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number - for instance, a Region 3 disc won't play on a Region 1 player.
Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada
Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa
Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/
South America
Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian
subcontinent, North Korea Region 6: China
The only way to get around the region codes, is to rip a DVD to your computer and remove the region code. Then burn the DVD to a DVD R. There are programs around on the net, but I'm not sure it is legal in all countries.
Google for the programs.
A DVD player sometimes allows you to change the region code once. But it not even would allow you to switch back after you changed it once.

Region codes are a legacy from the film makers, who only allowed the DVD format after the manufacturers promised the content could be made, so not everyone in the world could play one disk (copy protection)
No commercial player is made without region limitations.

There are computer programs capable of remove the region code from a DVD, but the result should be burned on a new DVD. Most players don't allow a change in the region code more than once. So on your player nothing to hack. Sorry

For all other options, please use Google.

Have an LG BH7520 player and cant play my region 2 dvd movies

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.

I cant unlock my ps2 console to watch a region 1 dvd and ive tried some unlocks but they wont work

make sure your console has the ability to read region 1 discs in the first place.
REGION 1 -- USA, Canada
REGION 2 -- Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 -- S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 -- Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
REGION 5 -- Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 -- China
REGION 7 -- Reserved for Unspecified Special Use
REGION 8 -- Reserved for Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc...
REGION 0 or REGION ALL -- Discs are uncoded and can be played Worldwide, however, PAL discs must be played in a PAL-compatible unit and NTSC discs must be played in an NTSC-compatible unit.
The end result is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player, also, players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1-stamped DVDs.

If you forgot the parental control code and you need to unlock that, though, then try this:
1.Bring up a screen where the unit asks you to enter in the parental code. You can either insert a restricted disc, or enter the DVD setup menu and go to "parental control" under
custom setup.

2.When the screen asks for the code, press the SELECT button, then enter in the code "7444".

3.The level adjustment under Parental Control dictates the strictness of the player. The lower the value, the more strict it will be. Either increase the value to lower the restriction, or disable the lock entirely by setting it to "off".

4.Once you have made your adjustments, be sure that the DVD tray is empty, and press the RESET button on the front of the Playstation 2. It is imperative the tray is clear of any DVD or game for the unit to save your settings.
