Page 1 of LOGIX DVD 3000 - Can I play Region 1 ???

Hi all,
I have just bought Charlies Angels from the states, it is region 1 ONLY, and when I try to play it on my LOGIX 3000 it says "Can only play on a NON MODIFIED Region 1 machine!".
Can you suggest a hack to get my LOGIX to think its a Region 1 machine or do I need to send the DVD back to the states and wait three months for the region 2 version to come out!!

Thanks

you should be able to play region 1 disks on the logix using this hack

depends on how new the machine is to which method you use. My is new and I can use the second method.

I think that once the machine is turned off then when you turn it back on it returns back to its original setting, if not use the hack to get each settimg as required.

1. Serial Number between 00110001-01014500
Open --> Set-up ---> Title step ---> Next => secret menu(region ID menu)
Region ID menu ---> Bypass(region free)

2. Serial Number between 01024501-01025200
free: OPEN - SETUP - 9-4-0-1-0 -STEP-SHUFFLE -NEXT
R1 :OPEN - SETUP - 1-4-0-1-0 -STEP-SHUFFLE -NEXT
R2 :OPEN - SETUP - 2-4-0-1-0 -STEP-SHUFFLE -NEXT
R3 :OPEN - SETUP - 3-4-0-1-0 -STEP-SHUFFLE -NEXT

I`ll give this a go............thanks matey!!!

IT WORKED !!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!

THERE WAS ME THINKING I`D BOUGHT A DUD (GIVEN ALL THE BAD PRESS THE LOGIX 3000 SEEMS TO GET ON THIS SITE!) BUT NO, IT PLAYS ANY REGION YOU WANT TO THROW AT IT, IT PLAYS MP3`S (EVEN DISCS WITH 93 TRACKS !!), IT HAS EXCELLENT SOUND (THROUGH A HI FI OR THROUGH THE TV!) AND HASN`T JUMPED ONCE.........

FOR £140 I`LL AGREE YOU PROBABLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, BUT, WITH THESE HACKS, I AM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH IT !!

THANKS AGAIN !!!!!

I have just bought one of these, with a serial number of 01025926F, which is outside the range specified above.
Will the same code work, or does someone know the new code?

Thanks,
David.

Yes this should work use the second set of instructions which are for

Serial Number between 01024501-01025200

mine also is one of the new ones and it works for me!

have you got a macro hack ???? please

unfortunatly using Logix official firmware you can not disable macro. I use scan firmware which is vcr friendly but by using this you will void your warranty. Take a look at this site read the posts and all the readme files, and if you decide it is worth the risk then good luck.
