Enter remote code for you region with OPEN tray. Need reg code from 711.

grateful for your help RC - all is well!

I am just about to buy a SV-DVD1E, could you or someone please post the process used to make it Region Free.

Or at least experiences with the Hack posted on this site. As I notice there is another message for the Samsung DVD1E where soemone is having problems with the hack.

Any guidance will be GREATLY appreciated, as I am not buying until I`m sure that there is a viable hack.

first make sure the dvd-button is set to dvd on the player.

then press "FF" and PAUSE/PLAY button on the dvd, which will give you a choice of language press 1 for english.

wait 5 seconds (until the samsung logo comes up on screen) press Setup then repeat ( bottom right hand button with a-b on it ).
Then enter 387679 press Open on front of DVD. then power off, power on with remote standby button.

now its region free + it will play all rce disks.

Thanks Very much, you have given me the confidence to go and buy one.

have you bought it yet and if so have to managed to make it region free? I can`t seem to crack my machine - the salesman said it wld play discs from all regions so am going to try and return it tomorrow unless another attempt at hacking it does the trick!
