RE: Hack please: Avox ADS-200S

Not sure if you`re still looking for info, but I was doing a similar search and found a Japanese posting on the Avox 200S. Here`s the Babelfish translation, a bit weird but....

"Also my was 04. You know you think, but because of sense you write. If even with DVD of the region difference, inserting DVD, while the letter of LOADING has appeared, the region of that DVD (1 when 1) the repeated hitting stripe it comes, playback is possible. Remote control becomes unable to use, but just playback is possible. When it is the movie and the like, rather than not being seen, it is better. As in addition, for capturing 04, also the cord/code of APEX generally being to try, it does, but it was useless. Something 3497340 ago or after you think that it inputs, but here, probably is showdown! HACK it will do! !"

Here`s the original website URL (Japanese)

It sounds like inserting a different region disc and "hitting" something "repeatedly" during the "LOADING" display, the movie will begin playing, but the remote becomes useless.

I`ve found the best thing is using my PC to play DVDs. I downloaded a firmware patch for my model internal DVD drive. Now it can play all regions (a prompt to change regions appears whenever I insert a different region disc, but now I can make an unlimited number of changes.) And thanks to lovely computer geeks and hackers, it`s free!
Here`s a link that explains firmware patching and at the bottom of this page there`s a link to a listing of DVD players by manufacturer, I think. So you may have to check your hardware settings/profiles to find the name and model of your PC`s DVD player.
