Page 1 of Mintek 1710 & region free

Hello all,
I just bought in USA a Mintek 1710 portable DVD Player (=shinco 1710), back in France I can not play my DVD region 2 as this player is region 1. Does anybody know a way of having this player region free or at least region 2 ?
Thanks in advance

Possible way to make my player region free
Mintek DVD 1710
Help me

thanks dadada :/

If you want to give this a try, here is the procedure:

1. Open & close the disc tray
2. Push SETUP on the remote control
3. Push 1, 3, 6, and 9, one at a time, on the remote control
4. Push the left menu arrow button 3 times -- NOT the ¦<< or << button
5. Push the right menu arrow button 1 time -- NOT the >>¦ or >> button
6. If you see a new menu item named "VERSION", enter that menu.

(If you don`t get the VERSION menu, then your player probably lacks the region menu.

You should now see a screen that resembles the following:

VERSION: 00.00.05.01
8032: 00.00.05.01
SERVO: 00.00.00.03
RISC: 00.00.05.01
DSP: 01.00.01.02
REGION CODE: 01

Only the REGION CODE option should be selectable; select the 01 and change it to 00 (for region-free operation) or a region number that matches the region code of the DVD disc that you want to play.

7. Push SETUP to exit the menu.

Post your results.. found this on another site.

A+

Portables with "710" in the model number tend to use the Cyberhome portable hack:

Push SETUP on the remote control
Goto the GENERAL SETUP TAB (Can`t stress that enough)
Enter 1369 (alternatively try 1379)
A region setting should appear
Use the Up/Down Cursor Keys to set to 0 (or 9) for MR



I ig ig ig ig ig ig ignore the phone the whole day through
To surf surf surf surf surf surf surf the net is what I really like to do
It ain`t no trick to get rich quick
If you contract out your outsourcing
Its all mine! Its all mine! Its all mine! Its all mine!
And a million users whine!

I ig ig ig ig ig ig ignore the phone the whole day through
To surf surf surf surf surf surf surf the net is what I really like to do
We delete user`s data by the score
A thousand profiles, sometimes more
But we don`t care why we wipe `em for
I ig ig ig ig ig ig ignore the phone the whole day through

I owe, I owe,
I owe, I owe,
I owe,

Its back to work I go.
