Make your DVD player play discs from any region

Most players have a hidden setting you can change with the remote that came with it. Find your model and follow the button presses.

How it works

  1. Find your model number. It's on the front of the player or on a sticker underneath or at the back.
  2. Use the player's own remote. Universal remotes usually lack the buttons you need, unless a hack says otherwise.
  3. Press the buttons in order, quite quickly. Most players expect an empty tray. If nothing happens, try again a little faster.
