Samsung region-free hacks

Make sure the player is switched on, and is at the Samsung logo

screen. Also check the tray is shut and that there's no disc in the

player.

Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a five digit

code. This code is different depending on what region your player is

*currently* set to:

R1 - 29334

R2 - 38767

R3 - 56732

R4 - 76884

R5 - 53814

R6 - 24462

So for example if you have an R2 player, press REPEAT-3 8 7 6 7.

If you've done this correctly (and your player is compatible with the

hack), you should see a number at the top left corner of the screen

corresponding to the current region.

Now, pressing any number from 1 to 6 will change to the corresponding

region. Or, press 9 for "auto-region" mode.

Next, press OPEN/CLOSE to open the tray, followed by Standby (or DVD

POWER) on the remote to close it and put the player into Standby mode.

The next time you turn your player on, the new region will be set.

Don't forget that if you want to hack it again, you'll need to use a

different code, as listed above. If it's currently set to "region 9",

use the code for the last *proper* region you set it to.

Make sure the player is switched on, and is at the Samsung logo

screen. Also check the tray is shut and that there's no disc in the

player.

Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a five digit
