My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 |
I bought a couple of cheap DVD players for the kids at Christmas and now I know why they were so cheap! They obviously came from the USA as they have a US style plug on them (but fortunately a very wide voltage range) and phono connections instead of a scart. All this is no problem but the fact it is Region 1 most certainly is. I wouldn't mind converting it to just Region 2 but I've never heard of this so multi region it has to be. Unfortunately after after a long search on Google I've come up with nothing except 2 other poor souls looking as well. So, can anyone help? PaulR | ||

My System: turnkey 700mhz athelon .5gb ram,120 gb,drive j-test j-tag setup | region setting can be done 5 times total, if you intend to unlock the player try finding 'regionfree.zip' -this may only work on a virgin player. 'boxnut' | ||

I've found the file and downloaded it. All I have to do now is dig the DVD players out of the lockup garage. Note to wife: See, I told you that we shouldn't throw them out.

| If you can take a screenshot of the menus, I can probably tie it in with a more common brand. I think the 800A is actually a three or four year old design, similar circuitry to Yelo DVD players.
