 Region code hack posted by Autobot, March 13 2006: | |||
The hack I employed is exactly the same as the MDV458 listed elsewhere on the site. Of course, my unit is the MDV460, and I did the following: Press "Power" to turn on the player. - Press "System Menu" key to enter Set Up menu. - Move to "Preference Page" using the left/right arrow keys - Press the following sequence in the remote control: 135566 - A menu indicating "Region Code" will appear. - Change region using up/down arrow keys. Region Code = 0 will play all regions. - Press "System Menu" key to exit Set Up menu. - Press "Power" to turn off the player. Going forward the unit will play all regions. Enjoy. | |||

Forgot to mention this player will convert the PAL signal to NTSC TV's with no stretching or glitches whatsoever! A great picture! | |||

I have Aug/2006 mfg. model and the hack worked fine but I'm now told that the model with a 2007 mfg. date has a different menu and the old hack doesn't work anymore. | |||

Just bought a DVD player today (July 2007) and tried the hack. Worked perfectly. | |||

RE: ancius, 2007-06-29 Unfortunately, ancius is correct. Enthused by the prospect of buying/trading non-USA PAL DVDs, I bought a MDV460 for myself and a couple as gifts. Target had them on sale for $35 (usually $45). Apparently, current units have new firmware (& chipset?) -- there's no 'Preferences' page, and entering the above number produced no sub-menu. Believe me, I tried! Luckily, the next week Target had the essentially similar Philips DVP5140 for five bucks more (sale $40, regularly $50). Philips region hack (Setup, Preferences, 1-3-8-9-3-1, step to Region '0', Setup) took about twenty seconds and worked perfectly on the first try. Suggest buying the Philips before they 'improve' it, like they did the Magnavox! | |||

If you can not access the preferences page on your machine, open the tray and leave it open while you follow the directions previously mentioned. | |||
