DVD-505

Multi-Region:

  • Ensure the tray is Closed with no disc
  • Press Menu
  • Press 1, 1, 1, and 1 to Open a hidden configuration menu.
  • Use Up and Down arrows to highlight Configuration and press Enter
  • Enter desired region code, i.e. 1 for R.C.-1 and 2 for R.C.-2 etc

Note:- There are rumours that this can only be done 100 times.

Be very careful not to change the option on the second line Destroy Selection table. Don't even touch it! Changing this option to "Yes" will disable the possibility to change the code in the future, although updating the firmware will fix this.

There is a firmware update available from www.cyberhome-help.de that renders the machine region code free and also claims to turn off Macrovision. The manufacturer has a firmware update available at www.cyberhome-europe.de that claims to fix a couple of minor bugs with subtitles etc.
