RE: Anyone got a Regional hack for the Samsung MAX-945D?

Someone in Saudi had theirs remote hacked at Samsung using an engineers remote. I was also told by repairer that it is possible but they were unsure of how and were having trouble finding out from Samsung. This ### me off as my requirement is because I have moved to a different region and I can`t buy region 2 DVD`s here (my unit is region 2).

I`ll keep trying and keep you posted.

RE: Anyone got a Regional hack for the Samsung MAX-945D?

Any updates yet by anyone???

Found this on http://www.regionfreedvd.net/player/samsung.html (down the bottom of the page). My problem is however that a Cold Start seems impossible on 945D. Also the number key presses display the "no entry/no smoking (circle with diagonal line)" sign/symbol on the top right of the screen. Help appreciated. Thanks

"Samsung Max945D"

Before I found this hack, the numbers were visible on the screen when I pressed them after the Repeat button.

This hack will make them disappear and 02 will appear.and you can convert your player in a multi-region player.

Try this:
1. No disk in the tray

2.Cold start the Player (hold down play and stop on the Player for three seconds).

3.When the language menue appears press 3,8,7,6,7 on the remote in sequence ( I´m not really sure if I pressed it fast in a row or if I waited for each number to appear. Try it first in a fast way, if it doesn´t work try it slow.).

This seems to unlock somethig.

4. The DVD screen will appear.Press now Repeat,3,8,7,6,7 (the numbers should not appear on the screen anymore. If they do cold start and try it again).
The number 02 will appear on the screen for a short time.
Now press the button for the region you require(1=R1 etc.) or press 9 for an auto select mode.

5. Press open/close on the Player to open the disk tray.

6. Press Standby(DVD Power) on the players remote to close the tray.
Next time you turn the player on , you will have a multi-region player (or a player set to the region you specified).
If it doesn´t work close the lid after opening it, and press Standby afterwards.
This worked perfectly fine on my player. And I had the same problems like FM(described in earlier threads) before.
If anybody knows how I can check this, please tell me.

To disable the macro try following:

Rehack the player in the method used originally,
Insert a REGION 1 disc when you open the tray during the hack, and leave it in when you close it.
Continue to the end of the hack.

To see if your macro is disabled loop your DVD over a VCR.

Hi V, Where is the switch? What is it near. There is no spare switches on the back of mine that I can see.

Thanks for your help.

RE: Please help with Region Hack for Samsung Max-945D..

Sorry still no luck with hack over the weekend. Still trying.

RE: Please help with Region Hack for Samsung Max-945D..

Hi Antony,
I have had no luck yet but I did read somewhere where the display did NOT show anything when it was being done. I just get the circle with the line through it in the top right of the TV screen.
Please keep in touch and I will be trying different things over this weekend and will post again on my success or otherwise.
Thanks

Someone must know something about the Samsung 945D Hack.

Any help appreciated. Others have said it should perform similar to the 709 but doesn`t appear to. "Repeat"38767 hack gives me a "no entry (circle with cross inside)" sign in the top right corner. "stop+play" cold start gives nothing at all.

thanks

RE: the anwser for sony,panasonic,samsung,philips,pioneer,sharp

OK Jimbo, You said
"There isn`t a samsung MADE that can`t be hacked!!" How about the MAX945D? Tried all the hacks to date but no luck. Any ideas?

thanks

RE: Please help with Region Hack for Samsung Max-945D..

Hi,
I`ve been trying for a while with no success. Also tried the latest using the REPEAT button - no luck. Haven`t had the remote to try the AIWA hack. Have you tried this?

will keep in touch if I find out any more. I have read that it can be done by SAMSUNG using their remote.
