    I've just got off the phone with an Hitachi agent who says they aren't authorised to give out remote hack codes with reference to my made up problem but gave me another number to call saying they might be able to help

    Good luck, I emailed Hitachi with a slighty twisted story saying only region 1 play and not region 2 and I think one of my kids did it by accident and can they help........ well I'm getting desperate now Smile

    This is the closest I've got so far, maybe a light at the end of the tunnel... this is what they had to say.



    What's it got then - DVD Player?



    The Hitachi HTD-K170 DVD Player is multi region via a handset hack that we supply to purchasers. It supports both PAL and NTSC playback



    Trouble is they don't tell you WHAT IT IS !!!

    Nope - the 160 hack doesn't work and neither does the 150 hack. I've ttried a lot of key combinations but have yet to get lucky. Any info would be appreciated. BTW - the sound is brilliant!

    That is a great price, the sound on this system is awesome, the longer I have it the more I love it.



    Only problem is I can't find a hack anywhere. My region one DVD are no go for now!!

    If or when the hack does become available can someone let me know as I am in the same situation as the rest of you.

    The picture and sound from this unit is great, since they had a hack for the two previous models I am hoping that it is just a matter of time before someone finds a hack for this machine.



    Please, please, please keep an eye out on the net and feedback once someone finds the secret key strokes !!!

    I have this dvd, strange that it plays zone 4, (aussie) but not zone 1? Please can you let me know if you've managed to get hold of this hack, also, does anyone think it's likely that this hack will not be found? I have an anxious b'friend who is about to send our's back to Argos...
