RE: samsung m301 hacking

Hi Raphael. My parent control is not set to anything in particular. Yes, this is for region 1 Samsung DVD-M301. Do u get the "adjust" message in the LCD screen? I bought my DVD player on Best Buy last August, could be a difference between your player firmware and mine? What region DVD did u try to play? I played DVD´s like Jurassic Park and Amadeus region 4 and I had no problem. Is the DVD you are trying to play new? I am asking because it could be the RCE protection on the new DVD´s.
Hi legonz, Actually I used my Home sound Aiwa remote, but, I have an All for one remote, but this one doesn´t have a clock button. I set this remote to be used with Aiwa recievers and I tried the sleep button and it worked in the same way as the aiwa did, but because the clock button is missing in this remote I did not go any farther, but I am pretty sure there is a combination of buttons to emulate the clock one. this weekend I am going to try and I will let u know if I get luck.
Hi Apac, Yo use el control de mi equipo de sonido.
Any of you feel free to email me to: 2002nador[at].moc.oohay
Best Regards.

RE: samsung m301 hacking

Hi Mike.
Actually there is a Hack, I found it last weekend after "playing" about an hour with the equipment.. You can do it using an Aiwa Remote or a Configurable remote with sleep and clock buttons, setting it to control a Aiwa receiver.
The Trick is:
Turn the equipment (M301) On.
Open the Disk Tray.
Press Sleep in the Aiwa remote, after that you will see the cold start screen in the TV.
Press Clock three times Very Quickly between pressing and pressing, After this you will see an Adjusting Message in the M301 LCD Screen.
Put the Disk you wanna watch and close the disk tray, no matter what region it is, it will Play.
The Hack will work as soon as the equipment is kept on, after you Turn the M301 off, it will go back to its initial state (it will ask for the language every time you do a Cold Start).

Best Regards From Venezuela and Enjoy!!

RE: This Might be the Multiregial hack for Samsung DVD M301 (I need someone to try this out)

Hi.

After I press sleep the Disk Tray opens showing the cold start screen, so, pressing clock or clock 9 did not make any change cause the disk tray is already opened.

I tried putting a Region 4 DVD, and did not work. Any other suggestion?

Thanks

Dan

RE: Region Hack Samsung M301

Hi.

Actually I tried using the aiwa remote (my sound device is an aiwa) I pressed Sleep and the DVD shows some information about the DVD player including the DVD zone, but I could not find the way to change it. I pressed clock three times as I read but It did not show changes. I put the DVD (Region 4) inside and I got nothing. Actually I noticed some keys in the Aiwa remote really makes some the DVD status changes or even Cold start, but, not multiregion.

Any advice would be appreciated.
