Is there any way to elimnate the region settings on a computer DVD player. I have a PC tower, a PC laptop, and regrettably a too expensive Macbook.

I would love to watch some video from a country outside of Asia, but I hate giving up my 5 chances. You switch once to view then you got to switch back, and you lose 2 hits on one flick. Aren't laptops supposed to travel, how idiotic.

Buy one of those Pioneer ones. They'll read any disc you put in to them including ones that have been mangled by the dog. Movies - any zone. JPG's. MPEG's, Multi level folders, anything.

Soundman.

I bought an LG DVD player,rang them up and they gave me the codes so I could make it region free.

Depend on which you buy. But in general most DVD players sold in Thailand ARE locked. Most people don't actually realise it as most of the copies you buy on the street are Region Free and will play in any.

I recent purchased a Samsung HT-9 Home Theatre DVD - which is very good I'll add - however it's locked discovered after purchasing some Chinese DVDs which are region 6 not region 3.

However you can invaribly track down a free unlock code via google - however if it's a brand new model you might end up paying a few pounds/dollars for it.

Edit: Oh yeah if you need a hack the best place to look is: Free Hacks - Don't part with cash!

Here is another web site giving free 'remote control' hack codes for most DVD players. even if the model numbers aren't exactly the same you will usually find one of that manufacturers codes will work. Give the page numbers at the bottom of the page time to download, there are 92 pages of manufacturers/models/hacks available. Edited June 14, 2007 by sumrit

Wow, thanks for the information.

That will help a bunch of my friends as well.

You CAN make your MacBook region free. Here's how.

You can use the free program on this site it works good even when you already locked to a region, I don't know how it bypasses the firmware but it works. I use it on my zone 1 laptop to watch zone 2 movies while working in Scotland.

Does anyone know a site other than this one, for unlocking DVD players. For some reason that site doesn't have the code for my JVC XV-S42.
