I need a crack to allow this DVD player to play all regions

I bought this in USA and brought it back to London with me having been assured that it would work in UK. It does not play my DVDs...HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks BarneyChess.

    This hack works beautifuly for SOME DVDs but not all. I do not understand how to "select 0 by using arrow keys" - I used the numeral key on tthe remote. It then played one of the only two UK 'commercial" DVDs that I have and only some of tthe 'free giveaway' ones from the Daily Telegraph etc

    Apologies - I had not followed the insructions to the letter. Did exactly what was advised and it works fine now. Be careful to see that "O" is definitely selected before exiting "setup". It will be a different colour to the others.

    And you will need to see the window that allows you to select it by "using the arrow keys".

    And my thanks are due to WilsonJust rather than BarneyChess !

I need a way to play dvd's from China. My wife brought her english training dvd's from china but we can not use them on a region 1 dvd. My dvd drive is a matshita DVD +- RW UJ890

Hi, you are partly correct, your region 1 player is also in NTSC format, other regions are in PAL format...... So even if you converted your player to multi region or bought a multi region player it still would not play a PAL disk which the Chinese disks would be! The only way you could do this is to buy a multi region PAL/NTSC format DVD player.

I was just wondering if Magnavox Dvd/VCr combo MWR20V6 is a multi-region dvd player?

all dvd players are region free when you first buy them, they set the region themselves, after 5 dvd's have been played on them. So if you had a european dvd player and played 5 USA dvd's on it , it would lock to the USA region and you would be unable to play european dvd's on it. Exactly what a friend did many years ago when he bought a load of american dvd films from someone and played them on his brand spanking new dvd player :)

Hi, my DVD player was bought in Hong Kong, brought it back to England to use. recently, it is not reading discs properly, always say"no disc", no problem to read card though. I am wonder how and...

DVDs are encoded with a "Region Code" to allow studios to control release dates around the world. Hong Kong Region Code is 3, UK is 2. Your player will not play back Region 2 DVDs that you are purchasing or renting in UK. It will work fine with Region Code 3 DVDs I would bet.

Sorry to deliver the bad news.

You need to unlock the player before it will play discs from other regions. UK has region 2 discs while the US has region 1.

Search on Google for your DVD model and unlock code.
Dial in the code using your remote and you should then be able to play any region discs from around the world.

My wife bought a TV series on DVD while she was in the Middle East and now that she brought them back to Canada we are not able to play them. How do we deal with this?

Region-free DVD players are sold through various venues.Try playing it in a computer DVD player/burner. Some burners are region-free. Some software can copy your purchased disks, removing the region code in the process.
