Many DVD players are preset to one region and if you use a DVD destined for any other region, the player will refuse to play. Some players have the option to change this to universal mode. Check your player's manual if yours has this facility.
Yes. You can play VCD movies and and Audio CDs on most players.
It's not the dvd; it's your player. I'm answering my own question. I did a search and found a code that needs to be set into my dvd player. So do a google search asking "wrong region" and the name of your dvd player. Someone is sure to have hacked through the problem and is more than willing to tell you how to fix it. Worked for me! Why does this even happen?
I figured out the code, it's printed incorrectly many places.
1 - Turn on DVD Player 2 - Press Open/Close button - open tray 3 - Press "8888" 4 - Put a DVD in the tray (from outside your region) 5 - Press Open/Close button - close tray 6 - Voila! It plays!
Turn on power.
Open lid. Enter 9735 with the remote
and press 'enter', you can choose between making your player
region-free or a different region in addition to R1. Select the desired
region unlock and press 'enter'.
I also would like the codes to convert my Sanyo DRW500 to a region free DVD player but cannot find it anywhere. If anyone has figured this out please post.
Thanks!
