Press the Angle button on the Remote Control 2. Press the 4 Button on the Remote Control 3. Press the 3 Button on the Remote Control 4. Press the 2 Button on the Remote Control 5. Press the 7 Button on the Remote Control 6. The phrase HDCP Free should Appear on the On-Screen Display If it works although it says HDCP Free it apparently Makes the Player Multi Region at the same time. The HDCP Message is only visible if you are Viewing though Composite ...it does not Appear if you are connected Through HDML.... Although the Hack still works. | |||

The "angle" based hack didn't work for me. this hack from here http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks.php?select=Samsung+DVD-HD841 worked for my hd960 region 1 bought sept 06 at brandsmart usa You will need a remote control from an AIWA sound system with the keys Repeat, Program (PRGM) and Clock. Turn on your DVD player; Open the disc deck. DON'T CLOSE! Using the AIWA remote control. 1) Press Repeat (DVD player's display will be totally light.) 2) Press Program. 3) Press Clock - and the display will show the word "ADJUST". At this time using the DVD remote control press 9. Then close the deck. i was able to change the region several times including to 9 but it did not disable the hdcp | |||

Thanks all, I bought a Samsung DVD-HD960 in Oct 2006 (Region 1, USA). Tried to use the hacks using supplied Samsung remote but couldn't get anything to work. So I bought a Philips universal remote (PM435S) for $10 at Best Buy and did the following: - set Philips remote to 786, - turn on DVD player and open disc tray, - press "info/select" on the Philips remote and "servo adjustment complete" came up on the TV screen, - press 9 on Philips remote (everthing on the DVD player LCD lights up), - press 9 on Philips remote again, - close and turn off player. The DVD player is now region free and I have played region 1 and region 4 DVDs. | |||

The Philips remote thing worked for me on a unit bought from Amazon, Oct 06. Something to keep in mind is that you have to select "VCR" button on the remote before typing the 786 sequence. After you click on the "info/select" on the Universal remote, the message "Servo adjustment completed" showed on the screen which is connected tru the DVI connection. The first time I did it, it did not work. The second time I did it, I did NOT turned off the unit. Instead I put a region 4 DVD and hit the close button. The unit played it with no problems. After that I turned it off and on inserting various region 1 and 4 discs. All of them played succesfully. | |||

Just hacked my HD960 with the supplied remote control. Got it in Canada (FutureShop) on Nov 25th. Here's how: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks.php?select=Samsung+DVD-HD860#25926 Note that as some messages say, you have to press 9 for a while until you see the number on screen. Kudos to Silver Surfer. | |||

Special Thanks To Silver Surfer. Here's how to do it, no special remote control needed!!!! 1. Open Tray with remote 2. press and release info button once (version should appear upper left of screen) 3. press "9" on the remote control, repeatedly & swiftly until the number 9 replaces the "No" in "No Disk" message. It should read "9 Disk". Thats all, that easy!! put in your whatever region disk and enjoy!!! Hope this settles this once and for all. BTW this player is superb! | |||

I followed this information and found out some new information using the AIWA remote codes. Region Free Hack: Requires AIWA/Universal Remote or PDA The following instructions are for a Pocket PC 1. Download and install TvRemote http://www.pdawin.com/tvremote.html 2. Download AIWA Mini Audio CCF file http://www.remotecentral.com/ftp/ccf_templates/mini_systems/aiwa-mini-nsx999.zip 3. Copy the unzipped CCF file to your PPC 4. Run TvRemote on your PPC. 5. Switch to CCF mode on in TvRemote 6. Open the copied CCF file. 7. Now with the DVD tray open press "Clock" 8. You should see the "servo adjustment complete" 9. Now keep pressing 9 on the standard dvd remote until you see a "9" in the upper left corner 10. Close tray and turn player off/on This is not the most intresting thing I found. If you press the "sleep" button on the TvRemote the player goes to a cold restart screen where it will tell you what region it was set on and whether HDCP is ok or not. Note this does reset your player so if you did the hack above you will need to redo it. I also noticed if you press the "+10" channel button it gives a message about auto chip-set. If you press "Repeat" all the whole lcd screen lights up. Still can not find a combination for HDCP removal. | |||

I can confirm the "number 9" hack: I received my refurbished HD960 yesterday and tried it immediately. Works now with Region 2 DVDs... 1. Open Tray with remote 2. press and release info button once (version should appear upper left of screen) 3. press "9" on the remote control, repeatedly & swiftly until the number 9 replaces appears in the left upper corner of the screen. 4. The 9 will disappear after a few secs and "no disk" will appear again. 5. Turn off and back on. Done! Enjoy! | |||
