Page 3 of Red DVD (bought from Sainsburys) - Multiregion Hack Required

I bought red dvd model 585207001 £19.99) and followed hack
POWER ON ;
OPEN DRAW ,
enter2812 ;
press ENTER REPEATEDLY UNTILL 9 APPEARS IN REGION BOX

RERGIONS ARE 1,2,3,4,5,9

OK,

I`ve read it again _really carefully_ but can`t see what I`ve missed. Any chance you could help me to stop feeling like an idiot and just tell me which bit of what I did was wrong compared to the suggestions above?

Where on the screen does the region option get listed? Whenever I`ve tried I`ve not seen anything listed on the screen to suggest that it has been even trying to change region.

Thanks,

Sorry if I`m being dense here.

Hi,

After finding the hack on this thread, I went and bought the RED DVD player from Sainsburys (585408). I tried the hack (and all combinations of) but nothing shows. "Wrong Region" is displayed for region 1 disks.

I needed a player especially for playing R1 disks, hence the reason I check here first. Having been out of work for three months, this seemed a good cheap option.

I have searched the web, but haven`t come accross any other hacks.

Has anyone had any luck in finding a hack that works with this model?
