Hi Jonnyfromdonny

Thanks for the info...:-)

I am a real newbie to the world of DVD. I just got a JVC XV E100 at Xmas and wanted to be able to play DVDs from other regions. For a while I scoured the forums but it seemed that the consensus was that there was no remote hacks available for the JVC.

However there did seem to be some way to hack via the Compulink using a PC...but those who knew about it weren`t going to give away their secrets.

Anyway the point is I just tried the hack you outlined and I was able to get as far as Step Number 8...but then my display reads as follows S0020 U0017

Do you or any other knowledgable person know what these codes mean and what needs to be altered to make the player region free...safely?

Thanks.
