It is most likely to work on most LG players not listed above, although more recent players may have a different chipset. If it works on your player and its not listed above then please do let us know.

Multi-Region:

  • Power on the player with no disk in the drive
  • Wait for the "No Disc" message to appear
  • Press Pause and Enter on the Remote
  • Enter 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9 on the Remote (the word COdE or FF appears on the display)
  • Enter 0 on the Remote (0 = All Regions, 1 = Region 1, 2 = Region 2, etc.)
  • Press Pause on the Remote
  • Power the player Off, wait 30 seconds and then power back On

If the above code fails to work then once the player has displayed the "No disc" message press Stop before entering the above code. If you have a DV-5522, DVD-5500N, DV-7711P and DV-7721P models then you may need to omit the Enter press in step 3. For DA-3530A with software version 0.9 omit the steps 5 and 6 - also the hack doesn't stay in the player memory so you'll need to re-enter it if it is powered off.

Firmware Version Display:

Note: Checking the firmware revision may reset the video selection mode so you may need to reapply this after using this option

  • Press Setup on the Remote
  • Select TV Aspect
  • Place the cursor on 16:9 wide
  • Enter 1, 3, 9, 7, 1, 3, 9 on the Remote
  • Press Enter on the Remote
  • Press Setup to clear the information once read

Beware: There are reports that entering a code to enable VCD playback may result in the players firmware becoming corrupted thus making the player unusable. It is for that reason we have not listed the code.
