The Pacific 1002 from ASDA is multiregion out of box.
No hacking needed. Ignore the user manual that tells you it is a region 2 machine with limited capabilities it actually plays everything DVD, DVD-R, MP3, VCD, even Super VCD.
Also it converts NTSC to PAL proper. That means you can watch region 1 disks on ANY TV - no need for RGB input and you can tape it too on a bog standard PAL video, provided you have a macromaster lead.
Buy it - its a bargain. Cheap as chips at under £70.

I bought this yesterday and it doesn`t seem to work as multiregion out of the box. Do you think I should change it for another one at Asda? I can`t get any of the remote hacks to work either having tried all the ones given on this site so far. Any ideas???

For those of you struggling, there seems to be two versions of the machine badged 1002 at the moment. The one with a 19 page manual has a pinging drawer and the "7 or 0" hack works on these. The one with a 27 page manual doesn't 'ping', and the "1, 3, 6, 9" hack worked on this.
I have come across 3 of these in the last week bought from the same asda, two with the 19 page manual, 1 with the 27. With the 'pinging' machine, I had 3 goes at the '1, 3, 6, 9' hack with no joy, but the 'setup, 7, pause, prev, next, setup' worked perfect.
Has anyone had any joy silencing the pinging drawer?
