Instructions

Power on the DVD player
Press the "OPEN/CLOSE" button on the remote control once
Press the "PROG" button once
Press "ENTER" three times

The region code will now show on the screen


Press the "UP" and "DOWN" cursors to select region
Selecting region "0" will make the DVD player region-free
Press the "STOP" button to confirm setting

Notes: the above code will turn your player into what is called "region-free". If you require the player to be a single region, for example region 1, then simply repeat the process and replace the "0" with a "1". This may be required if you have trouble playing DVDs purchased from outside the UK that have Region Code Enhancement technology on them. These titles are in a minority and you will find a substantial amount of titles will play without the need to change region. Our recommendation is that you set the player to region 0 and change to a specific region when the need arises.
