WARNING: Always leave "Destroy selection table: no"!!! (with remote control hack previously explained) Do not put "yes" in option: "Destroy selection table", you will not be able to change again the zone. I made that mistake and had to return DVD to Sears. Anyway, it had an awful image at least viewing digital photos. | |||

I have the same problem with the eariler poster: I was able to access the hidden menu with 16719, but couldn't change the region code. However, I was able to change the configuration to "0". This automatically changed the Region Code to "All" and the Country to "Unknown". Unfortunately it also defaulted the TV Video Standard to "PAL" and the display started flashing. To solve the PAL output problem, I then did the following (while the display is flashing): 1. Hit the "Exit" button to exit the hidden menu and go back to the main menu. 2. Scrolled down to the Display field and changed the Display setting there to NTSC Voila, now the flashing display is gone, and the DVD player is now region free and NTSC. Make sure you are familiar with the structure of the menu tree before attempting this procedure, because you won't be able to read the menu too well with the display flashing. | |||

Firstly let me state that if you are a DVD-R user/burner, you DO NOT want this unit. It will NOT play 99% of my Pioneer DVR-A05 recorded discs. Picked up a unit today. Says KD305a on the box. Used the following instructions: 1. Enter the sequence 1-6-7-1-9 and region appears. 2. Press "OK" repeatedly until region changes to 9 (all region). 3. Press Exit. No need to open tray, no power off, just use after hack. Did not have to do any of the rest of the steps people describe, no PAL switchover, no B&W, flickering, etc. Was very easy. Tried prerecorded R2 and R3 titles ok. Tried DVD-R (sometimes need to re-eject/re-load to get it to recognize the disc), Nero 6 VCD CDR, JPEG photos CDR (slow but disc error tolerant for standard burned file structure), Audio CDR, CDRW MP3 (MP3 CD has good on-screen menu - rotates thru all MP3 ID data) and even CDRW with MPEG1 music videos (PV). Will NOT do MPEG on DVD-R. CDR/RW only. A decent cheapo no front panel display DVD player (has progressive scan, clear buttons on face, standard koss remote like other koss models, s-video/component/coax audio, FF 32x, bitrate meter) compared to the others I've tried (Apex, Magnavox, RCA, Pioneer, etc.). Smooth, silent tray mechanism. one of the more sturdier built cheapo units i've tried. still not very good tho, after all, still a cheapo unit. i cant recommend it for folks who burn their own DVDs, acceptable for prerecorded region free users who are on a very tight budget of $30 only. like your japanese grandma or auntie, etc. Initially i liked it, but the more disc titles i inserted (DVD-R) the more i was disappointed. it was NOT a keeper for me altho region free. Drawbacks are: no front panel display (but at least the play button is lighted). zero DvdXcopy DVD-R compatibility, mixed decrypter DVD-R compatibility, DIVX DVD-R= Invalid Disc. yo! | |||

I screwed up and accidentally set the video to PAL. Next thing, the screen started rolling so fast I couldn't see it good enough to change. Used the 76419 entry (restore factory defaults) and it was like new again. | |||
