RE: Remote Hack for LG DVD-2330P - Does it work ?

You might think that.. I couldn`t possibly comment.
The technical support line who sent me the fax containing the hack said it had come straight from LG, but if it doesn`t work, it doesn`t work.
As I said, it took me quite a while to master the art of hitting the remote control that fast (until the fingers started smoking).
RE: Remote Hack for LG DVD-2330P - Does it work ?
OK... The story so far. I bought a so-called multi-region LG DVD 2330P from a well known UK supplier which, when I received my first Region 1 discs from the USA refused to play. I did, after this get the instructions working as follows:
Turn your machine on with no DVD in the tray.
Wait for the "No Disc" message (or simething similar) to appear.
You then have three seconds to press the following sequence of keys:
3 1 4 1 5 9
where is the number of the region you want to get to (on multi-region machines the regions are 0 and 1 where 0 means not-the-USA! - I expect that non-multi-region variants still may have regions 1 to 6 as usual although I`ve not tested this).
Thus setting to region 1 will be
3 1 4 1 5 9 1
all within three seconds
A useful mnemonic is that the first 6 digits are the first 6 digits of the number pi (3.14159 etc. etc.)
The above will take a bit of practice to do within the three seconds allotted I`m afraid. It took me 20 minutes to figure out the above and get my fingers fast enough
If you`re looking for a visual clue as to whether this works or not, just before you get to entering the code number (the last digit), the display on the DVD player itself says "CODE --". As you press the last digit, the display changes to show this new code. However, remember to press the Pause key extremely quickly after this or you`ll lose your settings.
Now turn the machine off and then on again, load your disc and away you go.
The caveats to the above are as follows:
I`ve only tried in in a multi-region version of the DVD 2330P and can`t vouch for it working on any other model.
I`ve now got so p*ss*d off with this weird method of changing zones that I`ve taken the machine back within my 30 days of purchase and replaced it with a Toshiba which is much nicer and doesn`t require me to wear my fingers down to the bone.
Any help?
