Craig Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hi all,I'm after a multi region DVD player. I like the look of the small DVD players, but am put off them as they dont have a display.I have seen some LG DVD players, but they dont seem to be multi region. Does anyone know of a place where i can buy a multi region LG DVD player or know of somewhere i can get it hacked?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wil play music CDs, do slide shows from CDs and there is a simple hack that will make it multi-regional ;-))))) click here and the main page (Germany) is at click here To save you trawling the hack is as follows....1. Press the Open/Close button on your remote control to open the drive tray 2. Press the Setup button on your remote control 3. Using your remote control, highlight but do not select the Exit Setup option in the menu 4. Press the buttons 1, 3, 6 and 9 on your remote control, in order, one at a time 5. Press the Left button on your remote control, three times, in succession 6. Press the Right button on your remote control 7. Select the new Version option from the menu 8.
