Resently got one from Canadian Tire. Evrethink above is true, but do not put othe then "0" in configuration. Othervase you will must update firmware. Once you put 0 the screen become black and white. Do not panic. Hit exit then go to display and switch back to pa/ntsc. Ther you go enjoy movie. | |||

On menu (no disc in tray) press 16719 The "hidden menu" appears. - press OK with the remot - press "0" for the region code for region free - wait 2s - press exit (to exit) - the screen will turn black and white and just will be all scrambled because it is on the PAL video setting - dont panic, follow these intructions - to put it back to NTSC after the page is all scrambled - on the main menu press down 3 times, right 1 time, down 1 time, and press "OK" on the remote - now the screen should be cleared up with NTSC - you are finished! Enjoy! | |||

I phoned Magnasonic today and they told me to punch in the number 16719 to get the hidden menu, as mentioned above. I changed it from 1 to 0, as he directed me to, I got no black and white screen, it was fine and he said that was it, all done. | |||

Insert a dvd Press stop Press Bookmark (lower right of remote) Press Menu (Mine was already on at this point) Press 597 or 59719 I don't know which of these work because the player doesn't tell you anything. Push exit. I have tried a dozen of my burnt discs that previously said "incompatible." and I was forced to play in my son's X-box. An X-box seems to play everything.. Hope this helps | |||

To reset this player you do the following. While holding the play button you turn on the player. It will give you a choice of 6 languages, #1 being English. Select your language and you are done. BTW I found a firmware update for this player. It took a little searching but it can be found at http://www.sonigem.com/uploaded_files/software_archive/DVD802-2.zip A number of companies have involvement with this player and is sold under different brand names, including Koss and possibly Sylvania and others. All this seemed to me to be a lot of work for a 50 dollar DVD player so I hope I saved someone the trip. :) | |||

This is all I did and it worked perfectly • On menu (no disc in tray) press 16719 • The "hidden menu" appears. • press OK with the remote • press "0" for the region code for region free • wait 2s • press exit (to exit) | |||

The last post (jorgeesquella, 10/17/04) is not incorrect, however, should be explained. When the "hidden menu" line appears - something like "Region...1" or whatever your player is set for, you must press [OK] as many times as required until the "0" appears after ...6. Pressing "0" on the keypad did not work for me. Then wait 2 sec., press [EXIT] and bingo you are done! | |||
