Page 1 of Aiwa XD-DW 1 - Please help !!

Hi .
Are there anyone who can help me whith my Portable Aiwa XD-DW 1.
It´s from the States ( region 1 ) and i would really like to play region 2.
I have heard that there is an remote hack !!!!! - but i can not find it.

Please help me, if you can.

It can be done with the remote control. I bought a multi-region Aiwa XD-DW1 in Singaporewhich developed a sound fault. I followed the reset instructions thinking maybe I caused the fault and inadvertently reset the machine to region 3. I sent it to Sontec (Aiwa`s repairers in the UK) and they reset it to region 2 but I had to forward the remote control for them to be able to do it.
No, they won`t set it to region one, multi -region etc but now I know there`s a hack - just gotta find it. Aiwa Singapore said it was confidential but next time I was in Singapore they would restore the machine to multi-region,

I have found the following hack on: http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayershack.php?select=Aiwa%20XD-DW1%20Portable

I have not tried it on my Region 6 (set to Multi-region) Aiwa XD-DW1 drive.
If it works, please post a reply here.

Also, please post if there is a Macrovision removal code for this Player.

Region hack if the player is Region 1, bought in USA:

1) Turn on player
2) Insert any disc
3) Open lid , take out disc and close lid
4) Immediately press [Stop], wait few seconds
5) Press 8,7,1,0 and then >> on remote
6) The player should be region free now!

(PS: I only tried this on my region 6 player bought from Hong Kong)

Also, use:
8,7,1,0,1 to set to region 1
8,7,1,0,2 to set to region 2
etc...
This is needed to watch RCE discs

I`ve just tried this on the Aiwa Xd-DW1 I bought in Singapore (which was originally multi-region and is now only region 2) and the second hack 8,7,2,0 works a dream! Thankyou very much - months of frustration has now been ended.

Cool! Glad to be of help.

One question though, when you did the hack, did anything appear on screen to confirm that it had worked?

I found the Hack listed at http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayershack.php?select=Aiwa%20XD-DW1%20Portable they also have a hack for the DW5 which they say is the same, it seems though that some firmware versions use a different code and I found that at any time the following sequence works.

press [STOP]
then press 8,7,2,0 and then the required region number ie 1,2 etc.
the machine will then show the manufacturers region setting as the one you`ve requested.

This wotks any time on the XD-DW5 and is probably the same for the XD-DW1.
